Kenney Westerhof closed MECLIPSE-120.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Sorry but we can't do this. This would present the user with a different set of dependency relations in eclipse
than is really defined. You should just update the dependencies to the working copy versions if you want to refactor stuff.

It would work in eclipse, but when you run a build with maven, it would fail. This gives developers an unrealistic
idea about the consistency of their code.

> In a multi-module setup, the dependencies between the projects are only created, if the project's version match the one of the referenced artfiact. After a release this is normally no longer the case if you have modules with independent release cycles. Therefore it would be good, if the plugin could be forced with an option (e.g. -forceSnapshot) to use a dependency to a module's project with a snapshot version instead of a dependency to the released artifact in the local repository. The plugin detects this situation already, but logs just a warning. Without this feature, refactorings are getting really tedious.
