diff behavior switch version from SNAPSHOT to RELEASE ...

[Giovanni Azua <br...@swissonline.ch>]

Hi all,

Since I am happy with the current state of my proj I was about to release,
then renamed all version 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT ocurrences in my pom.xml files to
1.0.0

I have the parent pom and:

- module 1
- module 2 (that depends on module 1)

Now module 2 does not build anymore complaining can not find
module1-1.0.0.jar of course it hasn't build yet but how can I tell this to
maven?

is this behavior normal?

regards,
Giovanni

Hi Wendy,

Many thanks for your quick reply.

Please find my comments below.

This sounds great, since I have my project in sourceforge I was trying
to use the sourceforge plugin but does not seem to work with Maven 2.x
http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/maven-sourceforge-plugin/index.html

I will have to upload the release files manually, it sucks.

Nop I was building from the parent as I always do. This is why I was 
confused, to see that without the SNAPSHOT part in my versions, the 
"module 1" was not being found anymore.

Switching to having SNAPSHOT in the version works fine.

Again, I was building from the parent pom but had this issue.

Many thanks!

Consider using the release plugin to handle versioning and tagging for
you (assuming you're using a supported scm system.)  'mvn
release:prepare' and then 'mvn release:perform' means you don't have
to change the version numbers manually, among other things.

You didn't say, but I assume you're trying to build only module 2.
Maven is looking in the local and remote repos for module 1, and not
finding it.   (Yes, this is normal).

If you build from the parent pom, Maven will "see" all the modules and
build the project.
