Subject: Automatic releases
Is there any possibility to provide automatic *unofficial* releases of
our artifacts? I'm asking because for me (and I think for others too)
it's an important requirement that only non-SNAPSHOT artifacts are
used in my POMs. That's the only way to guarantee that a POM working
today will still work tommorrow or in two years.
What I'm thinking of is using Continiuum to automatically release our
artifacts once every one or two weeks. Any chance to get this done or
in other words, does M2 support this?
The release plugin is probably what you are looking for. It
automatically updates the pom.xml to a releasable version string (no
SNAPSHOT suffix), produces a tagged version in SVN and sets the version
string of the pom to the next dvelopment version (scm connection must be
setup correctly in the pom). The 'problem' I've faced so far is that the
plugin won't make a release if your pom depends on SNAPSHOT versions
(which obviously is a good ting).
Why do I call it a 'problem'? I've alreday migrated some 2..1x apps to
2.2 but I cannot release them as they depend on cocoon SNAPSHOT releases
;-)
yes, that's exactly the point. We need to find a solution to make it possible to
use (and rely on) the latest Cocoon modules. We also need this if we (hopefully)
enter into a more frequent release cycle (e.g. every two months) because
sometimes I would "risk" it to use a newer version than an officially released one.
