[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - Re: Shared Parent POM for dependencyManagement

"scott.stark(a)jboss.org" wrote : We still need to get a handle on whether there is an acceptable version range policy (only minor version, custom jboss policy, etc.). Though related, and will affect the values of a shared parent, I don't think this is a requirement to move forward in centralizing the dependencies. "scott.stark(a)jboss.org" wrote : I would also suggest that snapshot version cannot be introduced into the common parent. It has to be done in the project. | What is the reasoning behind this? If snapshots are done only at the project level, then: 1) AS increments to snapshot of project A 2) EJB3 remains on release 1 of project A 3) AS requires release 2 of project A, updates shared parent 4) EJB3 implicitly gets release 2 now, and has version conflict because it hasn't been seeing snapshot changes all along.
