You can try the update-child-modules goal of the versions-maven-plugin. http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/usage.html Ondřej Žižka wrote: > 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.

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.) - DML On 12/14/2009 10:42 AM, Ondřej Žižka wrote: > 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.
