[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBBUILD-323) JBossBuild needs to be able to calculate component version using highest common denominator algorithm

JBossBuild needs to be able to calculate component version using highest common denominator algorithm ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBBUILD-323 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBBUILD-323 Project: JBoss Build System Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: JBossBuild-1.1 DR2 Reporter: Alex Pinkin Assigned To: Paul Gier Fix For: MavenBuild 1.2 We've already had this discussion, and thought that it's not easy to implement. However, I do think we need this done since I don't want all projects to enumerate all their 3rd party dependencies in build-thirdparty.xml. Example: these products include the following javassist versions 1. aop 1.5.0.GA: javassist 3.2.0.CR1, 3.2.0.CR2, 3.3.0.GA 2. ws 1.0.0.GA: javassist 3.2.0.CR1, 3.2.0.CR2, 3.3.0.GA 3. ejb3 1.0.0.CR8: javassist 3.2.0.CR1, 3.2.0.CR2, 3.2.0.GA JBossBuild needs to be able to determine that javassist 3.2.0.CR2 is the highest common denominator. Current behaviour is that JBossBuild takes the highest version of the component whenever it runs into it for the first time during the dependency graph traversal. Does Maven already support this? It seems like this should be one of the core maven features. Could you please look more info feasibility of implementing this in JBossBuild?
