Question

the maven release plugin doesn’t update the pom files which are included:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-invoker-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.6</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
....
....
<configuration>
<projectsDirectory>.</projectsDirectory>
<streamLogs>true</streamLogs>
<pomIncludes>
  <pomInclude>pomDisContainer.xml</pomInclude>
</pomIncludes>

how can i force the release plugin to update all my pom.xml files?

regards

Answer 1

Perhaps you are looking at this from the wrong direction. Would a better solution be to have the Maven Invoker Plugin update the invoked pom.xml files every time instead?

The Invoker plugin will automatically replace properties in the pom, providing they are using the alternative syntax:

@project.version@

Will be replaced by the invoking project’s version.
