Re: [jboss-dev] Maven - best way to change versions in a project tree?
You can use version properties like this:
<properties>
<version.foo.bar.baz>1.2.0.GA</version.foo.bar.baz>
</properties>
Then you can refer to it later (I think in children as well) as
${version.foo.bar.baz}. This gives you a single point where the version
can be set. (Even if I'm wrong about the parent/child thing, since the
version is on the same line as the property name, search/replace can be
more specific.)

Hi,
I have a multi-module Maven project, some modules again have modules,
plus there are some subdirs with "child" artifact.
=== What's the best way to change a version of certain artifact in the
whole tree? ===
This was discussed some time ago on some mailing list, and IIRC, the
unspoken conclusion was to use something like
perl -pi -e 's/1.1.0.GA-SNAPSHOT/1.1.0.GA-HTMLUnit26/g' `find . -name
pom.xml`
See http://community.jboss.org/wiki/DavidsMavenReleaseProcess
But there's a danger of replacing a version for some other artifact. I
don't want to create some crazy bash script to handle this case. XSLT
would help.
=== But first - is there some Maven plugin or tool to do this? (EXCEPT
MAVEN RELEASE PLUGIN, see the discussion.) ===
Thanks for tips,
Ondra
