[jira] Commented: (MNG-325) Do something about interpolated values in dependencies

["John Casey (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-325?page=comments#action_37800 ]
     
John Casey commented on MNG-325:
--------------------------------

If these are maven-1 pom's and they extend something, we probably can't reliably convert it to a maven-2 pom, since the <extends/> element uses local filesystem paths.

In certain (probably rare) cases, if the parent is specified as:

${maven.repo.local}/myGroup/poms/myArtifact-version.pom

then it's possible that we may be able to extract the parent pom info and look it up in the repository. This is not currently enabled, however.

I'll look into the specific cases for xfire, and we can probably add some measure of interpolation, but be aware that the extends stuff will probably never work reliably.

> In the xfire poms, we extend the parent and have ${pom.currentVersion} in the version field for a lot of the dependencies. M2 chokes on these. Maybe these dependencies can be thrown out? Maybe pom.currentVersion can be filled in automatically?
