Dynamic dependencies
Hi,
I have a plugin (maven-jaxme-plugin), which currently has a static
dependency on jaxme-0.5.2.jar. From time to time I add a bugfix to the
dependency, which I would like to use in the plugin. However, it isn't
very manageable to update the plugin anytime I update the dependency.
So I am thinking whether it is possible to make jaxme a dynamic
dependency. For example, I might check a special configuration
parameter "version". If that parameter is present, then I'd use the
given version, otherwise I'd use the preconfigured 0.5.2. Does someone
have an example how this can be done?
Thanks,
Jochen

If the plugin dependency changes frequently, you might consider naming
the version xx-SNAPSHOT and have a suitable snapshot update policy in
your settings.xml

Is it really that simple? That means, I won't need to change the plugin at all?
Thanks,

you can just add a <dependency/> element to the plugin's configuration
to override the original dependency
