Hello, This is my first post to the list and I am very new to mvn/continuum world. We are currently using mvn snapshot features but I think we are not using it properly. I want to move building of snapshots to build integration machine where continuum runs and I have few questions about how Continuum would go about building snapshots. Lets say, I have artifacts: webapp, webutil, util, common. - all these components are in active development. webapp depends on webutil, util, common webutil depends on util, common util depends on common. The goal is to make sure that snapshots are updated properly recursively when change happens to a certain snapshot. And all pieces of the application are using same versions of snapshots. 1. To make sure every artifact depends on same version of dependencies, parent pom.xml will have dependencyManagement> commons-logging commons-logging 1.0.4 company.com webutil 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT company.com util 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT company.com common 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT 2. to make sure that snapshots are build using controlled environment, lets say continuum is used to build them. So, my questions are: Will continuum rebuild ALL snapshots every time it makes a build? (hourly, per say). a) If "yes", how does it know the order in which snapshots have to be generated? (common first, util, webutil, webapp) - the order is very important since if there is a change in common, util has to be compiled against latest common classes. Also, it seems to me that repository will get filled up very quickly with identical snapshots for same component and each developer's machine would have to sync new snapshots every time it checks with repository b)If continuum is smart enough to create new snapshot only when there has been code changes in src of particular module, does it know that snapshots depending on that module have to be regenerated also? 3. if continuum does not have the answer for the problem/questions to 2. can someone recommend the alternative solution/intergration server that would ensure that snapshots are being incrementally deployed only when and in the right dependency order? (if change has been done in util module there is no need to redeploy common snapshot but there is a need to redeploy webutil once util snapshot is ready) Thanks Leonard
