[jira] Commented: (MCOMPILER-67) NullPointerException when
compiling with maven-compiler-plugin 2.1-SNAPSHOT - all projects
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-67?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_123563 ]
Jeff Black commented on MCOMPILER-67:
-------------------------------------
The workaround (or permanent solution, I'm not sure yet) is to define the compiler plugin in your pom with an explicit version, <version>2.0.2</version>.
Surely there has to be a better way to say "For all the standard plugins that I use and do not specify a version for, please use the latest release version, and never a SNAPSHOT version". Defining all the plugin versions, even in a single parent pom, seems unreasonable to me. Why would the default be to use plugin SNAPSHOTS? Doesn't this create a fragile project structure?
What is the best practice way to have a rock solid project, isolated from deployed SNAPSHOT plugins?

> All of my compiles using Maven have failed, and they were previously working fine yesterday. I believe it is likely due to a bug in the snapshot. I've tried using different versions of the Java, and upgraded to Maven 2.0.8 from 2.0.7, but that had no effect.
