Dependencies listed as version ${project.version} in maven-archetype prevent the use of archetypes

Wayne Fay added a comment - 10/May/06 3:05 PM I am reasonably certain version should be 1.0-alpha-4 for all 3 dependencies.

Carlos Sanchez added a comment - 10/May/06 4:09 PM is this causing any problem? it'd be good to make the release plugin expand the vars but it shouldn't cause any problem

Wayne Fay added a comment - 10/May/06 4:17 PM Someone on User list posted a problem in a thread titled "Archetype installation and creation of the app problem" on May 10, 2006. Based on his error report, I took a look at the poms, and surmised that this $ {project.version} is causing problems. It seems to be taking the version number from his "mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeVersion=0.1" command line rather than from the <version/> tag in the pom. So while this "shouldn't" be a problem, it is. Perhaps this is the sign of a bug in resolving versions in poms? Here's the email below: I created an archetype following directions at http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html this is waht I get when I run the archetype:create $ mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=com.opensymphony -DarchetypeArtif actId=webwork-app -DarchetypeVersion=0.1 -DgroupId=my.group -Dartif actId=appid -Dversion=0.1 [INFO] Scanning for projects...

Alexandre Poitras added a comment - 27/May/06 1:03 PM This issue is very annoying because right now Maven tries to find org.apache.maven.archetype:maven-archetype-core:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT and therefore fails.

Kenney Westerhof added a comment - 16/Jun/07 3:27 AM This is caused by the fact that -Dversion=0.1 is provided on the commandline. The archetype poms specify $ {project.version}. RegexBasedModelInterpolator strips off the leading project. (or pom. or env.) and checks the context object for 'version', which it contains since -Dversion was specified. So in this case 0.1 is used for dependencies. this will break with ALL maven builds that have a ${project.version} somewhere and -Dversion is specified.

Kenney Westerhof added a comment - 16/Jun/07 3:53 AM Dupe of MNG-2339 . Fixed by removing $ {project.version} in the poms and replacing it by the real version string.

Kenney Westerhof added a comment - 16/Jun/07 3:54 AM This issue is a dupe of 2339, but has 2 resolutions: 1) wait for MNG-2339 to be fixed 2) don't use $ {project.version} or $ {version} in the pom. revision 547891 contains #2.
