[POLL] Why are you not able to use the most recent maven release?

I get the sense that lots of people are using older versions of Maven
due to various regressions.  As we get closer to 2.1 alpha, we need to
ensure that we identify the regressions across the 2.0 line so that we
can make sure they are fixed in 2.1 and so that users can upgrade to a
recent 2.0.x before trying out 2.1.

 

If this is the case for you, please reply and state the version you're
using and why (preferably referring to a Jira). We will use this
information to prioritize issues for 2.0.10 and beyond.

 

Thanks.

2.0.7, with local patches.

Because I've tried about 3 times to get someone to apply a fix for
MNG-3284 (or tell me if the attached patch won't work because of
something non-obvious), and it just never goes anywhere. :-/

We made a tool in the dependency plugin to help detect and correct
these. Even if you aren't upgrading, you might want to run the tool as
you might have problems you don't know about. I understood the problem
enough to write the tool and was shocked how many issues I had in my own
corp builds.

Not entirely try if you use the tool mentioned above. You will be able
to fix your poms before moving over to the next version. That's how I
did it with 60+ developer and 100s of modules.

We are using maven 2.0.7. I wanted to upgrade to 2.0.8 some time ago but 
there were problems with the 2.3 surefire plugin at that time that are 
already resolved now.

We currently do not have any issues with 2.0.7, that's why we didn't try to 
upgrade again. However, I just tested with 2.0.8 and a recent surefire 
plugin and the build works as expected.

I can't find a JIRA, I would have thought I raised one... Oh well.

I never found the time to re-investigate this.

It's the first I've heard but doesn't mean much. I have tested staged
plugins recently (including your staged stage plugin) and didn't see
anything.

Not sure if it's in JIRA, sorry.  It does not just pick the wrong one,
it dies with an error (and probably with corrupted local metadata.)

I briefly tried to reproduce it at home at some point in the past, but
wasn't able to (so I didn't open an issue.)  It's possible that
there's just something wrong in the repos at work, but whatever it is,
2.0.5 can deal with it and 2.0.7 can't.

We do have a couple of patches on top of the 2.0.5/2.0.7 tags, so
that's another possible culprit if no one else is seeing this.

Some time after 2.0.5, Maven seems to have lost the ability to deal
with multiple repositories containing different versions of the same
plugin.

For example:
* a 'third-party' repository with maven-whatever-plugin version 1.0
final
* a 'sandbox' repository with maven-whatever-plugin version 2.0-alpha-1

I think someone brought this up on the dev list recently as a problem
when trying to test a staged plugin release-- it would be the same
situation, with the latest release of the plugin in the 'central' repo
and the staged one in some other repo.

I've been working through that list and I grabbed some of the serious
artifact/repo issues as well as the highest voted issues from all groups
for the .10 release. The plan most likely will be to fix the regressions
and the most popular issues for 2.0.x but it is unlikely that all of
those will get fixed; the edge cases and improvement issues will
probably get bumped to 2.1 at some point. The 2.0.x branch should start
to become very refined in scope of issues being fixed once 2.1 is
closing in. Naturally people will still use 2.0.x for sometime so we'll
be supporting it, but splitting the effort will only slow down the
overall progress. (typical release management stuff yada yada)

The moral is to vote for the issues you most want fixed, and call out
loudly regressions and blockers to updating as those are the priority.

There are about 110 bugs slated in the "2.0.x" release category. As I
watch
2.0.9 and 2.0.10 develop, I notice that issues from "2.0.x" are not
touched.
My recommendation -- and hope -- is that someone could schedule a 2.0.11
and
2.0.12 based on 25 (swag) issues respectively from that big list. Those
are
the issues, it appears, that are long-standing and have been reported
early.

Some time after 2.0.5, Maven seems to have lost the ability to deal
with multiple repositories containing different versions of the same
plugin.

For example:
* a 'third-party' repository with maven-whatever-plugin version 1.0 final
* a 'sandbox' repository with maven-whatever-plugin version 2.0-alpha-1

I think someone brought this up on the dev list recently as a problem
when trying to test a staged plugin release-- it would be the same
situation, with the latest release of the plugin in the 'central' repo
and the staged one in some other repo.

M205: In use
M206: Was totally broken for us (main issue was fixed for M207 though).
M207+M208: Forgets dependencies under some obscure circumstances (MNG-3259, seems fixed now)
M209 SNAPSHOT: Does work, looking forward to a RC.

Yep, I did that - I personally have build our codeline with 2.0.5 - 8
and most recently, 2.1.

The prab is when I upgrade myself and the build cluster, then when
someone tries to build locally and they didn't upgrade and I get this
angry horde with torches and pitchforks.....

Ok that's fair. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 

Have you tried your builds on newer versions to make sure it would work?
There have been some differences between 2.0.5 & 2.0.6 that could
require prep work (and you may discover issues you didn't know you had):

We're currently stuck on 2.0.5 - the problem is getting an entire
organization to upgrade.  Aside from the, "it works better" response,
typically, there needs to be a financial reason explaining why we are
asking everyone to stop what they are doing and upgrade.

I get the sense that lots of people are using older versions of Maven
due to various regressions.  As we get closer to 2.1 alpha, we need to
ensure that we identify the regressions across the 2.0 line so that we
can make sure they are fixed in 2.1 and so that users can upgrade to a

Ok that's fair. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 

Have you tried your builds on newer versions to make sure it would work?
There have been some differences between 2.0.5 & 2.0.6 that could
require prep work (and you may discover issues you didn't know you had):

We're currently stuck on 2.0.5 - the problem is getting an entire
organization to upgrade.  Aside from the, "it works better" response,
typically, there needs to be a financial reason explaining why we are
asking everyone to stop what they are doing and upgrade.

I get the sense that lots of people are using older versions of Maven
due to various regressions.  As we get closer to 2.1 alpha, we need to
ensure that we identify the regressions across the 2.0 line so that we
can make sure they are fixed in 2.1 and so that users can upgrade to a
recent 2.0.x before trying out 2.1.

 

If this is the case for you, please reply and state the version you're

If you are running Continuum 1.1 you can choose the Maven version to
use per project or per group (as well as JDK, etc).

If you have any follow up questions on this we can certainly help on
continuum-users@maven.apache.org.

Cheers,
Brett

Good, be sure to check out your dependencies using the url I previously
sent on this thread. 2.0.9 will have some important fixes / enhancements
so it should be considered for upgrade.

I'm sort of in the same boat, but for different reasons. The maven version
is considered to be part of the configuration for each project, so projects
are tied to whatever version of Maven was used at release time.  Upgrades
are considered to be changes to the build environment, which are out of
scope in certain projects (small patch releases, for example). We play it
safe in these cases because changes to Maven versions can cause
build-related regressions.

We also use Continuum as our CI environment, and Continuum is tied to
whatever Maven version the Continuum unix account uses, which means that we
are forced to use the same Maven version for all projects in
Continuum. Upgrading the maven that Continuum uses forces all projects to
upgrade Maven versions.  Until I can figure out a way to get Continuum to
run with different Maven versions, we're stuck with the current one.  Either
that, or I get the entire development team to upgrade simultaneously to a
new Maven version.  (Which might not really be such a big deal, IMO.)

We're currently stuck on 2.0.4 but are starting to plan to upgrade to 2.0.9.
2.1 is not even on the radar yet.

You should be ok to mix, as long as you dont get bitten by outstanding bugs.

We moved to 2.0.7 to get the proxy:* stuff happening.
