specifying different dependencies according to versions
Hello all,
We recently changed the packaging of some modules in our application :
<dependency>
<groupId>my.company</groupId>
<artifactId>my.artifact.core</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
to
<dependency>
<groupId>my.company.internal</groupId>
<artifactId>my.artifact.core</artifactId>
<version>2.6.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
as this is internal now, we created a new module
<dependency>
<groupId>my.company</groupId>
<artifactId>my.artifact</artifactId>
<version>2.6.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
I have a maven module that could depend on
my.company:my.artifact.core:2.5.0-SNAPSHOT as well as any other
following releases, including my.company:my.artifact:2.6.0-SNAPSHOT
I could have used a version range such as: <version>[2.5.0,)</version>
if only my packaging did not change...
My question is : can we tell maven to depend on
my.company:my.artifact.core for a certain range of version and
depend on my.company:my.artifact for another range of version?
Thank you very much for your answers,
Anthony

Sorry for more questions than answers.
I am glad that it provided a creative push.
We use exclusions extensively in our builds to ensure that we get the
"right" version at run-time and they work "as advertised".

Re: specifying different dependencies according to versions
Posted by Anthony Dahanne <an...@gmail.com>.
Hello Ron,
Let me try to explain with other terms what we have and we want to do
: we have refactored an artifact, changing his name and even its group
name;
* from version 1.0.0 to 2.5.0, this artifact was named
my.company:my.artifact.core:version
* from version 2.5.1 and up , this artifact is named
my.company:my.artifact:version
We have consumers of this artifact, that may depend on it directly and
indirectly.
Well, we were afraid of dependency clashes, and this is why we talked
about version ranges (imagining a dependency chooses the right
version, and other ones, using range versions, just cope with it)
instead of specifying directly the right version.
Now reading your email, and trying to answer your questions , I
finally found out that transitive dependencies clashes can be avoided
with exclusion
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html
Problem solved :-)
Thanks,
Anthony

Re: specifying different dependencies according to versions
Posted by Ron Wheeler <rw...@artifact-software.com>.
What are you trying to accomplish?
Why is your situation different from the normal system development
process that everyone else uses.
What version do you want to run at run-time?
In the pom of the artifact that you are making, set the dependency to
the version of <artifactId>my.artifact.core</artifactId> that you want
to build with.
It is hard to see what you are trying to tell us with this
"as this is internal now, we created a new module
<dependency>
<groupId>my.company</groupId>
<artifactId>my.artifact</artifactId>
<version>2.6.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
"
In what POM does this dependency appear? Why? How does this relate to ....-core.
If you followed last weeks discussion about version ranges, you might have noted that they are regarded by most as inherently evil and by others as poorly implemented.
In general, you should pick a version of the dependency that you want to build with and identify it with a specific version.
A range of SNAPSHOTs makes no sense to me at all.
