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

Hmm, this gets slippery.

Yes, but the question is - when?  If snapshots in the parent are prohibited, projects get switched over to the new dependency's release very late in the game, nearing a milestone.  That can hold up the whole works, because of:

"scott.stark at jboss.org" wrote : Any update of the shared parent needs coordination and should result in rollback if existing builds fail.

So now AS requires Dependency Version 2, which breaks EJB3.  CR1 is held up because a switch was flipped right before the milestone, and EJB3 needs to resolve the errors before CR1 can ship.
