[jira] Commented: (MNG-5142) allow static URLSs which don't change in derived submodules

["Robert Scholte (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5142?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=274559#comment-274559 ] 

Robert Scholte commented on MNG-5142:
-------------------------------------

{{static:}} sounds a bit confusing, because what would {{dynamic:}} mean?
I'd prefer the usage of {{relative:}} and {{absolute:}} where relative would be the default.
These are well-known terms and immediately clear for everyone.

>                 Key: MNG-5142
>                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5142
>             Project: Maven 2 & 3
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
>    Affects Versions: 2.2.1, 3.0.3
>            Reporter: Mark Struberg

> In sub-modules, URLs in the MavenModel will automatically get expanded by adding the artifactId of the very sub-module.
> This is fine for e.g. a SVN scm URL but breaks other SCMs like git or hg.
> Proposal:
> We should introduce a 'static:' prefix for URLs which must not get automatically expanded in submodules.
> An example:
> <scm>
>   <developerConnection>static:scm:git:https://myserver.com/gitrepo/... 
> The 'static:' info will get removed while parsing the pom.
> Compat notes:
> I've tried that such scm URLs with mvn-3.0.3 and mvn-2.2.1 in  
> <scm><connection>, <developerConnection>, <url>, <distributionManagement><site><url>
> and got no error building my project. Of course, if you use the 'static:' prefix then you cannot release or do other site and scm tasks with an old maven version anymore. But that part is considered to be broken anyway at the moment ;)
