How can Maven be used to prepare a complex, multi-module JavaEE app for release
We have a complex JavaEE app with multiple wars, jars, ds.xml and config files, etc. In fact, there are over 80 different artifacts that make up our application. We use the maven-assembly-plugin to create a gzip file and untar it into a JBOSS instance to deploy and run. It's not pretty and it's a nightmare to actually do a release. We use Subversion, Maven 3, Nexus for repository management and Jenkins for build management. The following are the manual steps required for us to do a release: 1. Create a SNAPSHOT version of the changed modules and deploy to a test environment a. Create a SNAPSHOT branch in SVN b. Copy changed modules to the new branch from trunk c. Manually change the dependency versions from SNAPSHOT as needed in each individual POM d. Manually change the dependency versions in the assembly POM files (there are 5 sub assemblies and one main assembly to put them all together) e. Run mvn deploy on each new module to install SNAPSHOT versions to Nexus f.Run mvn install on each sub-assembly (I don't want to deploy the assemblies to Nexus) g. Run mvn package on the main assembly h. Copy and untar the main assembly on our QA JBOSS server/instance 2. Create a RELEASE version and deploy to production a. Merge the SNAPSHOT branch modules in SVN to trunk b. Repeat steps a-h, above, manually removing "-SNAPSHOT" from all the POM files I've tried to simplify a little by consolidating dependency management in the parent assembly, but it still requires that I modify each affected sub-assembly to use the correct parent version. Why not use the maven-release-plugin to eliminate the manual process, you might wonder? Great, then I have to modify each POMs scm element whenever I do a SNAPSHOT-to-RELEASE, and, unless I use module inheritance in my POMs at some point, the release plugin isn't going to recurse through all of the changed modules for me. I thought maven was supposed to relieve me of this manual configuration nightmare, but it seems to only have increased it. All of the documentation and Web-help I have seen discusses only simple multi-module systems, with maybe a war, an ejb and a domain jar, for example. That's child's play compared to what we have to deal with, and I'm just out of ideas. Maybe someone out there has faced a similar daunting task and can help. Thanks in advance.
[ANN] Webminifier Maven Plugin 1.0.0 Released
Hi, The Mojo team is pleased to announce the release of the Webminifier Maven Plugin version 1.0.0. This plugin provides JavaScript minification for Maven projects. It produces a minified version of JavaScript resources which can be used to construct a minified final artefact. It is designed to be flexible in the way it operates to allow for easy minified resource re-use across a project. Under the hood, Webminifier currently uses the YUI Compressor and Closure Compiler but has a layer of abstraction around these tools which allows for other tools to be used. http://mojo.codehaus.org/webminifier-maven-plugin/ We recommend the use of this plugin in the context of the forthcoming Javascript Maven Tools project (1). Alternatively to get this update, simply specify the version in your project's plugin configuration: org.codehaus.mojo webminifier-maven-plugin 1.0.0 The plugin is being heavily used by at least two large corporations. Enjoy, The Mojo team. Christopher Hunt (1) http://mojo.codehaus.org/javascript-maven-tools/
[ANN] JS Import Maven Plugin 1.0.0 Released
Hi, The Mojo team is pleased to announce the release of the JS Import Maven Plugin version 1.0.0. The JS Import Maven plugin essentially provides Maven dependency management support for JavaScript. Asynchronous Module Definitions (AMD)(1) are also supported. The import plugin supports js type artifacts and compressed bundles of web resources and will expand the latter into a project's target folder. Web resource bundles are denoted with a "www" classifier and a type of "zip". http://mojo.codehaus.org/js-import-maven-plugin/ We recommend the use of this plugin in the context of the forthcoming Javascript Maven Tools project (2). Alternatively to get this update, simply specify the version in your project's plugin configuration: org.codehaus.mojo js-import-maven-plugin 1.0.0 The plugin has been developed over the past year and is being heavily used by at least two large corporations. Enjoy, The Mojo team. Christopher Hunt (1) https://github.com/amdjs/amdjs-api/wiki/AMD (2) http://mojo.codehaus.org/javascript-maven-tools/
Committing non-POM files during release:prepare?
Maven 2.2, release plugin. During the preparationGoals, I'm modifying a .properties file that references the Maven project version. When the POM files get committed to Subversion after the preparationGoals have completed, I need this .properties file to get committed as well. Otherwise the release:perform step will fail. Is this possible? Thanks. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org

Another observation I might try to append to Robert's list is how to separate the signal from the noise. My personal opinion is that Maven is pretty chatty, which is great for experienced users, but a bit overwhelming for some new users. One option would be to reduce verbosity, but that doesn't really serve experienced users well. Another option would be what Karaf has done and that is to use colorized logs. http://blog.uncommons.org/2006/04/09/colour-coded-console-logging-with-log4j/ covers the gist of it. The ANSI colorization characters are kind of ugly in terminals that aren't set up correctly, but it might help improve readability?

Re: Mvn commands are stalling
+1 Good comments. Might not be a bad idea to add a suggestion "Probable cause is missing version in your pom.xml " or "Probable cause is bad dependency definition for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin at line 85." I am not sure how the column number helps. What would be at column 15 of line 85 in this case?

Do you think it is a reasonable/good error message or can be improved somehow (with the understanding that there are limits in what we can practically do)? Since most of us on this list are not Maven newbies, we have trouble looking at things from the newbie perspective sometimes. So any input you can provide would be appreciated.

I ran into this recently while helping some family migrate from an old eMachines running XP to a new Mac Mini with the "Migrate to Mac" wizard software. They had AVG which I had installed a long time ago and the wizard couldn't get through. If you check your TCP/IP stack, you will see an AVG Miniport Driver or something along those lines. Just click the checkbox to disable it. This is in Networking Properties for your LAN or Wifi device. There are other things in the list like File and Printer Sharing and Client for Microsoft Networks. You may be able to manage this via AVG Control Panel as well.

Mvn commands are stalling
Hello, I am a relatively new user to Maven. I have Java 1.7 and Maven 3.0.3 installed. I am trying to fix two problems: 1. The first and more critical problem is: No matter what command I try to run, mvn starts the download and then it just stalls. The same thing happens when I try creating a project from an archetype. I tried running mvn help:effective-pom to resolve the warning in the snippet below, and that command also hangs just like the others. I have to use Ctrl-C to kill it and retry it again. It almost seems like it is an internet connectivity problem, but I don't see how it can be, when it can download some jars, but not the remaining ones. 2. I would like to know how I can resolve the warning below. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks much!! AR -- C:\development\workspace1\project1>dir Volume in drive C has no label.
