My project consists of numerous (~100) components, most of them use ~10 core components. When I update a version of a core component I would like to have up-to-date version of it in every component that is using it.
Trouble is that components depend on many other components - and I want only one of these dependencies updated at a time (the one that has just been updated).
I am using versions-maven-plugin and the "update-properties" mojo - trouble is that it requires executing maven for each and every component in order to check if it needs update and doing the actual property update. I'm using Jenkins as a CI solution, tried that writing a custom pipeline and it sure is doable but it's still iterating over a whole project...
I was wondering if there maybe is a more efficient way to do this?
Would creating/maintaining dependency map be feasible here - do you know of any software that could be integrated into the pipeline to do that? (a little clarification here: all of my components are under the same maven groupid and the same project in gitlab).
