During 'mvn buildnumber:create' each module generate buildnumber. Is it possible to turn it off for submodules? In other word, during 'mvn buildnumber:create' build number should be generated only once in parent module.
I tryed set <phase>none</phase>
and <skip>true</skip>
in submodules but without any changes.
Suggestions?
This: Execute Maven plugin goal on parent module, but not on children
You can add <inherited>false</inherited>
to the plugin configuration to avoid inheritance in children POMs:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<inherited>false</inherited>
...
</plugin>
I would take a look into the:
<pluginManagement>...</pluginManagement>
element: http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Plugin_Management
I've had success defining my plugins in my master/parent/root pom file through the plugin-management section, and then simply enabling their behaviour in my child pom files by simply specifying the group/artifact combination.
In your case, I'd try the following...
In your root pom.xml (notice the <pluginManagement> element):
...
<build>
...
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>create</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<format>${project.version}-b{0,number}</format>
<items>
<item>buildNumber0</item>
</items>
<doCheck>false</doCheck>
<doUpdate>false</doUpdate>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
...
</build>
...
And then simply enable the behaviour in your module1 (or module2) pom.xml by (NO <pluginManagement> element):
<build>
...
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>buildnumber-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<plugin>
<plugins>
...
</build>
...
This was all from memory, give it a shot and if it doesn't work, let me know.
Update your pom to use version 1.3 of the plugin, then configure the plugin in each sub module with true
