For the declaration element we took the easy route and use the single line element as it gets regenerated by the release.
This is actually a good thing it contains absolutely nothing of value, so wasting only one line is ok (you just must get over the need of printing it on paper ,) -- http://bernd.eckenfels.net ________________________________ Von: Eric Lilja <[email protected]> Gesendet: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 7:35:01 PM An: Maven Developers List <[email protected]> Betreff: Re: Prevent maven-release-plugin from reformatting attributes on project element Sure! Today I did a release in a single module project. The unwanted diff was that the release plugin changed <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";> to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation=" http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";> So it discarded our formatting (which had a linebreak after the xmlns:xsi-attribute and aligned xsi:schemaLocation-attribute, column-wise, with the xmlns-attribute, in case formatting is lost in the email) and put all attributes on the same line as its containing element (element "project", in this case). I don't know if it happens only for this element or not, in our pom-files, that is usually the only element that has so many attributes that our formatter line splits it. We're trying to make sure formatting is always correct in our code-base, to get rid of unwanted noise in git diffs to make reviews smaller, that's why this is a slight nuisance to us. The release was done on Linux machine. All files have unix-style line breaks, indentation is four spaces. - Eric L On Tue, Feb 4, 2020 at 6:47 PM Hervé BOUTEMY <[email protected]> wrote: > can you provide an example of reformatting, please? > > in every case I saw until now, there is no reformatting, so I suppose > you're > in a case I did not expect > > Regards, > > Hervé > > Le mardi 4 février 2020, 16:24:54 CET Eric Lilja a écrit : > > > I see. > > > I am not aware of any such feature. > > > If you have some tool that pretty prints XML according to your > > > comporate rules you could invoke it in completionGoals [1] > > > > That could be a workaround for now.
