update location scm url for maven multi module project
branch, maven-2, release, version-control
Solution
Why don't you use the Maven Release Plugin and its `release:branch` mojo for that? From the Create a branch page:
Creating a branch executes the following steps:
- Check that there are no uncommitted changes in the sources
- Change the version in the poms if you want to change it in the branch (you will be prompted for the versions to use)
- Transform the SCM information in the POM to include the final destination of the tag
- Commit the modified POMs
- Tag the code in the SCM as a new branch with a version name (this will be prompted for)
- Bump the version in the POMs if you want to change it to a new value y-SNAPSHOT (these values will also be prompted for)
- Commit the modified POMs
Problem
I have a maven multi module project. If I need to branch, I use the maven-versions plugin to go through my project and update the parent version number rather easily. Is there a similar plugin to update my scm location in all of my poms?
