[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18837?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-18837: --------------------------------------------- I definitely would prefer the version gets to be independent of parent pom and i'm not fully grokking how you suggest to do it using base root pom version thus a PR would be helpful for sure. Aside: Its not new QE (or others) use nightlies and it is also not new that in *very* special cases QE need to rely on -D to test specific setups - we have done that all former releases. I don't think there would ever be need to differentiate between latest nightly for 4.2.x and latest staged for 4.2.x - that would be extreme exceptional cases and in all this it would still require using exact timestamps in ide-properties to differentiate. And yes, there aren't an awesome silver bullet for this - I wish there were; but so far I think by decoupling from parent pom and try testing our way out of detecting if the version is properly bumped we have a solution that are not bullet proof (You can break the situation if you really are clever in install sequence of things) but that are Good Enough without being too rigid. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.8#6338)
