POM Versions Consistent (SL003)

Checks whether module POM versions are consistent across the repo (client modules compare major.minor only).

Description

Scans all pom.xml files, groups versions and flags mismatches. For -client modules, only the major.minor is checked against the expected version.

Rationale

Consistent versions across modules prevent integration and release problems.

Findings

ERROR
- Regular modules have different versions than expected highest/common version
- Client modules' major.minor does not match expected major.minor

Noncompliant

Mismatched module versions

<!-- Example with mismatched module versions (illustrative) -->
<project>
  <modules>
    <module>a</module>
    <module>b</module>
  </modules>
  <!-- a/pom.xml: <version>1.2.0</version> -->
  <!-- b/pom.xml: <version>1.3.0</version> -->
</project>

Compliant

Aligned module versions

<!-- Example with aligned module versions (illustrative) -->
<project>
  <modules>
    <module>a</module>
    <module>b</module>
  </modules>
  <!-- a/pom.xml: <version>1.3.0</version> -->
  <!-- b/pom.xml: <version>1.3.0</version> -->
</project>
