JarCastingresolve-parent-version-maven-plugin
This plugin updates a pom file with the resolved parent version. That is, it ensures that for a pom that has a parent pom reference, that when it gets installed/deployed, any property placeholders in the parent pom version field will be resolved.
See this blog post for more details: https://blog.kiwitype.com/2017/maven-versioning-in-a-continuous-delivery-pipeline/
e.g. Say we have the following pom:
<project>
<parent>
<groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>
<artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
<version>1.${some.property}</version>
</parent>
<artifactId>my-module</artifactId>
...
</project>
If a build runs where some.property=999, then the installed/deployed pom will be:
<project>
<parent>
<groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>
<artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
<version>1.999</version>
</parent>
<artifactId>my-module</artifactId>
...
</project>
