Status update:
* I got a positive feedback from Heiko, Juca and Jirka.
* I moved the repo under l2x6 GitHub org, (an incubator for my open
source projects)
https://github.com/l2x6/srcdeps-maven-plugin
* I registered the project at Sonatype so that it can be released to
Maven Central
https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-17256
* Waiting for somebody to try the plugin independently from me, I'd
eventually release after that

Hi *,
I think I found a way how to make our process more continuous, while
staying with stock Maven and Components in separate git repositories.
The core of the idea is that we actually do not need to release the
components because they are not our deliverables (yes, except for
Metrics). If we were able to declare the dependencies using git
revisions and build them on the fly, we could get rid of both SNAPSHOTS
and releases.
I have written srcdeps-maven-plugin [1] today that does exactly that:
* It collects dependencies with versions matching
{whatever}-SRC-{git-commit-hash}
* It checks out {git-commit-hash} of their sources to
~/.m2/dependency-sources
* It changes the version in the sources to
{whatever}-SRC-{git-commit-hash}
* Builds the artifacts and installs them to the local repository
* All the above happens before the dependency resolution starts
so it is fully transparent for the rest of Maven.
* The -SRC- dependencies are build only if they are not found in local
repository - so they prolong the build only when upgrading.
How to try it out:
#Make sure that you have maven 3.2.5 or newer:
mvn -version
# build the plugin
cd ~/git
git checkout
https://github.com/l2x6/srcdeps-maven-plugin.git
cd srcdeps-maven-plugin
mvn clean install
# build hawkular with the plugin
cd ../hawkular
git remote add ppalaga
https://github.com/ppalaga/hawkular.git
git fetch ppalaga
git checkout -b 150819-srcdeps
mvn clean install ...
