Versioning of Maven Projects

[Jörn Gebhardt <Jo...@ptv.de>]

Hi,

How can I make sure that I will be able to build a tagged version of a Maven
project in the future? When I tag a Maven project in my repository, I will
be able to get the code, configuration,  project.xml etc. of the tagged
version. However, how do I know, which versions of the Maven plugins have to
be used to rebuild the tagged version? If one of the plugins needed for the
build changes, I might not be able to rebuild the older version...
In contrary when I'm using Ant build files, I also have a history of the
build file (i.e. it's no problem to reproduce the artifacts at any time in
the future), but is there a way to tell Maven, which versions of which
plugin was used for a release of your project?

Thanks in advance,
Joern
