why do I have to remove a dependency from my pom before adding it back and installing to get the latest version of my maven package?

问题

I have a maven package I've hosted on GitHub package registry.

Whenever I make an update to the package I run mvn deploy to publish the changes, but if I simply run mvn install on the dependent application it doesn't seem to install the latest version of the package. Only after deleting the pom.xml and then loading the changes into IntelliJ, then adding it back and running mvn install does it seem to get the new publication of the package.

This is my settings.xml file:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">

    <activeProfiles>
        <activeProfile>github</activeProfile>
    </activeProfiles>

    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>github</id>
            <repositories>
                <repository>
                    <id>central</id>
                    <url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
                    <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
                    <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
                </repository>
                <repository>
                    <id>github</id>
                    <name>GitHub COMPANY NAME Apache Maven Packages</name>
                    <url>https://maven.pkg.github.com/***********</url>
                </repository>
            </repositories>
        </profile>
    </profiles>

    <servers>
        <server>
            <id>github</id>
            <username>TaylorBurke</username>
            <password>****************</password>
        </server>
    </servers>
</settings>

Do I need to up the version of the package every time I publish a change? Maybe there's a configuration issue with Maven? Or perhaps this is the nature of the Maven plugin in IntelliJ?

回答1:

Select this checkbox, if you want IntelliJ IDEA to update snapshots on sync and use the SNAPSHOT dependency if you don't update the version:

• Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Maven | Always update snapshots.

Make sure to click the Reimport button in the Maven tool window to synchronize the changes.
