component releases that depend on snapshot

dimitris Apr 11, 2008 9:10 AM

Here is a part of a dependency tree

org.jboss:jboss-transaction-spi:jar:5.0.0.Beta4:compile
+- jboss:jboss-common-logging-spi:jar:2.0.4.GA:compile
+- org.jboss.javaee:jboss-jca-api:jar:1.5.0.20070913080910:compile
\- org.jboss.javaee:jboss-transaction-api:jar:1.0.1.20070913080910:com

How are those component like jboss-jca-api:jar:1.5.0.20070913080910 or jboss-transaction-api:jar:1.0.1.20070913080910 produced?

Are those snapshot dependencies that are automatically uploaded when the outer component is released?

And is this considered a good practise? In this case we have a Beta4 version of the transaction-spi (and I believe the overal jboss-integration project) that depends on an untagged version of the jboss-javaee project.

Am I missing something?

I think the idea on this was that instead of having beta-1, 2, 3, etc for an unknown number of releases, the component versions would match the version of the equivalent java ee product, and there would just be a timestamp attached to show when it was released.

So these are really releases even though it looks like a snapshot from the version string. You can see it in the release repository here:

http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/org/jboss/javaee/jboss-jca-api/1.5.0.20070913080910/

Where do you set the 'build.id', or is it set by maven?

I guess, the main issue is that those releases are not tagged:
https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/javaee/tags/

The build.id is just a property in the pom. You're right that should be tagged. I'm not sure why there isn't one.
