----------------------------------

             Summary: Skip installation of sub packages if newer version is already present and installed
                 Key: JCRVLT-113
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-113
             Project: Jackrabbit FileVault
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Packaging
    Affects Versions: 3.1.26
            Reporter: Thierry Ygé
             Fix For: 3.1.28


In our testing environment we release package that may contains dependency library (for ui testing), when different ui testing modules are installed separately  it may happen then that the embedded sub package contains an older version than the one currently installed, and that produce issues.

To avoid that, it would help if during the package installation, the extract process would check for sub packages if another package of same group/name is already installed and is more recent, and so skip it.

I have prepared a sample solution, including the junit test to validate it.

It would be great to add this in the next release.
