Hi, I'm working on a script that will automatically release many artifacts. For example I have 2 Maven projects (say A and B). B have a dependency on A. The dependency version is expressed using a property (say ${A.version}). In the SVN trunk, in B.pom, A.version=1-SNAPSHOT. A and B are independent Maven modules (not multi-module).
Basically, the script is aware of the release order and will: - svn checkout A - mvn release:prepare release:perform -B -DreleaseVersion=1-RC1 (batch mode so release version was a parameter of the script) - svn checkout B - update A dependency in B.pom to 1-RC1 - mvn release:prepare release:perform -B -DreleaseVersion=4-RC1 My question is: how can I update A dependency in B.pom? I tried to use versions-maven-plugin but the plugin is too smart for my usage as it always try to update to the latest released version. What I want is to be able to say: "update property named A.version to value 1-RC1" even if A was already released in version 2. Do you know a way to do this? Thanks, Julien
