Building via aggregator POM does not honor module's versions

fjakop commented 5 years ago

version: 1.4.4

usage context:

[x] maven command line: 3.6.1

Problem description:

When building several Maven projects - all with jgitver enabled - via aggregator POM (no jgitver there) the version numbers of the projects are not calculated and changed.

Rebroduce

create aggregator pom with two modules A and B
create subfolders A and B besides aggregator pom
put an pom with only GAV in the subfolders
put .mvn/extensions.xml in the subfolders
git init / add / commit each subfolder
git tag v1.3.0 each subfolder
run mvn validate on aggregator pom

--> versions of projects A and B are not changed

It is the maven extension mechanism that works only at the main level.
Did you tried with other core extensions to see if they are activated in sub-projects, my bet is no.

The extension does not appear to be executed for the sub-projects. As you suggest, the extension mechanism appears to be activated only at the aggregator level.

I have filed a Maven issue: MNG-6995
