Maven version with a property

Question

I have big Maven (Tycho) project witch about 400 plug-ins.

We have specified version of application in each POM file.

Is there a way how to specify the versi

Answer 1

If you're using Maven 3, one option to work around this problem is to use the versions plugin http://www.mojohaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/

Specifically the commands,

mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=2.0-RELEASE
mvn versions:commit

This will update the parent and child poms to 2.0-RELEASE. You can run this as a build step before.

Unlike the release plugin, it doesn't try to talk to your source control
