How to Use the Maven Release Plugin to release SAcct.
Phase-Support I used the Maven release plugin to release my Smart Account Management Framework (SAcct). It was pretty smooth and I listed my steps here. Add Maven Release PluginAdd the Maven release plugin to the SAcct project super POM as follows. <build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
......
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-9</version>
<configuration>
<tagBase>https://sacct.googlecode.com/svn/tags</tagBase>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>Note, I put the tagBase there so that the Maven release plugin knows where to cut the release tag. Add Maven Deployment CredentialTo deploy the release artifacts to our Maven Repository, I need to add the Maven deployment credential to the file, MY_HOME/.m2/setting.xml, as follows, <settings>
<servers>
......
<server>
<id>kungfuters-public-releases-repo</id>
<username>MY_USER_NAME</username>
<password>MY_PASSWORD</password>
</server>
</servers>
......Prepare Maven ReleaseCheck out the SAcct code from trunk, then go to the project and run the Maven release prepare command mvn -Dusername=MY_USENAME -Dpassword=MY_PASSWORD release:prepare Be aware that here the username and password are the ones for my source code repository, i.e., subversion repository in GoogleCode in my case. You will be asked to confirm what is the release version for each project module and what will be the version of each project module for the next deployment phase. Sometimes, you may like to have a dry run to test the procedure, you can use the following command mvn -Dusername=MY_USENAME -Dpassword=MY_PASSWORD release:prepare -DdryRun=true After the dry run, you can use the clean command to clear all the generated file mvn release:clean The Maven release:prepare command will update the POM version for each module and cut a release tag. If you look at the Subversion history, you will see the committs as follows,
Perform Maven ReleaseThe last step is to run the following command to actually deploy artifacts to my Maven repository mvn release:perform After that check the Maven repository and you will see all artifacts are there. Resources |
