So I have made quite a bit of progress in getting the next release out
using Maven 2 and I have learned some things:
To perform a release, you use the plugins release:prepare and
release:perform.
The maven mini guide to releasing is the best resource I have found on
the topic:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-releasing.html
There is a bit covered in the Maven 2 book as well, but I mostly used
the above URL.
release:perform changes the version numbers in the pom.xml files and
creates the new tag. (Check the recent commits and you'll see exactly
what it does)
Here's the command I used to execute release:prepare:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dev/gt-2.2.x/2.2.x$ mvn release:prepare \
-Dproject.scm.developerConnection=scm:svn:http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/branches/2.2.x
\
-DtagBase=http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/tags
The two -D parameters can be integrated into the main pom.xml. I will do
so once I have finalized the release process.
It also generates a release.properties files (which I've attached). This
file is use by release:perform to actually create the release. In
theory, I can pass it to another developer and they can use it to
actually create the release.
If you look at the file you will see that most of the SCM URIs point to
trunk, instead of 2.2.x. For example:
scm-info.org.geotools\:gt2-module.url=http\://svn.geotools.org/geotools/trunk/gt/module
I think if I tried executing release:perform I would actually be buildin
a trunk release, not a 2.2.x branch release. So I need to fix the
pom.xml files on the 2.2.x branch. I will do that tomorrow and continue
from there.
This also means that the pom.xml files will need to be changed when they
are taken from trunk onto a new branch.
Martin, do I have access to upload jars to the maven repo on
geotools.fr? If so, can you email me the user/pass? Thanks!
Richard
