We use properties in our company for the distributionManagement section:
<distributionManagement>
<repository>
<id>company-release</id>
<name>Company Maven 2 repository</name>
<url>${company.repo.url.base}/repo-m2</url>
</repository>
<snapshotRepository>
<id>company-snapshot</id>
<name>Company Maven 2 snapshot repository</name>
<url>${company.repo.url.base}/repo-m2-snapshot</url>
</snapshotRepository>
<site>
<id>company-site</id>
<name>Company Maven project website</name>
<url>${elsag.site.url.base}</url>
</site>
</distributionManagement>
This makes it very easy to set up profiles. Indeed we use a settings.xml with
preferences:
1/ Direct file access:
<settings>
...
<servers>
<server>
<id>company-release</id>
</server>
<server>
<id>company-snapshot</id>
</server>
<server>
<id>company-site</id>
</server>
</servers>
....
<properties>
<elsag.repo.url.base>file://///server.company.com/share/to/maven</elsag.repo.url.base>
<elsag.site.url.base>file://///server.company.com/share/to/maven/docs</elsag.site.url.base>
<properties>
</settings>
2/ With PuTTY:
<settings>
...
<servers>
<server>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<configuration>
<sshExecutable>plink</sshExecutable>
<scpExecutable>pscp</scpExecutable>
</configuration>
<id>company-release</id>
</server>
<server>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<configuration>
<sshExecutable>plink</sshExecutable>
<scpExecutable>pscp</scpExecutable>
</configuration>
<id>company-snapshot</id>
</server>
<server>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<configuration>
<sshExecutable>plink</sshExecutable>
<scpExecutable>pscp</scpExecutable>
</configuration>
<id>company-site</id>
</server>
</servers>
....
<properties>
<elsag.repo.url.base>scpexe://server.company.com/path/to/maven</elsag.repo.url.base>
<elsag.site.url.base>scpexe://server.company.com/path/to/maven/docs</elsag.site.url.base>
<properties>
</settings>
3/ With Cygwin (*):
<settings>
...
<servers>
<server>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<configuration>
<scpExecutable>scpwin.bat</scpExecutable>
</configuration>
<id>company-release</id>
</server>
<server>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<configuration>
<scpExecutable>scpwin.bat</scpExecutable>
</configuration>
<id>company-snapshot</id>
</server>
<server>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<configuration>
<scpExecutable>scpwin.bat</scpExecutable>
</configuration>
<id>company-site</id>
</server>
</servers>
...
<properties>
<elsag.repo.url.base>scpexe://server.company.com/path/to/maven</elsag.repo.url.base>
<elsag.site.url.base>scpexe://server.company.com/path/to/maven/docs</elsag.site.url.base>
<properties>
</settings>
(*) scpwin.bat simply contains the line "scp %*" because we found that Cygwin's
scp always returned a value of 1 instead of 0 and the build failed. Might have
changed meanwhile.
You can imagine, that a lot more combinations can be supported (like plain scp
or webdav). It is now simply the question where to put this settings. You may
add something like this to the parent pom with profiles or expect the devs to
define something like it into their settings.xml just as we do in our company.
One last word of warning: Do not use the same repository ids for the repos
defined in the distributionManagement section and the repos defined in the
repositories or pluginRepositories sections. The latter ones use always the
http protocol and M2 does not distinguish different types of repositories
regarding the configuration and will get confused by the parameters necessary
for the different wagon providers.
