Hello, I am going to propose a new release procedure in Apache ZooKeeper project in the direction of using the Maven Release Plugin. Usually with the Maven Release Plugin you are performing to tasks:
mvn release:prepare -> change version + create tag mvn release:perform -> create final artifacts and deploy in the specific case of Apache ZooKeeper we have a C-client that contains C sources under a mavenized project, so in src/c or something like that, not so important. The important fact is that I have the 'version' in pom.xml and in the C client (make/configure based build). I would like to introduce an hook that during "release:prepare" while changing the version in all of the pom.xml files it changes the version inside the C project. I just need a way to invoke a bash script with a 'sed' command that has the new VERSION variable in a shell environment. I can also write some java code or whatever else.... But I need some "hook" during release:prepare. I can't find any documentation about this feature other then "prepationGoals" but it is not documented and there is no good example on the Internet https://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/examples/run-goals-before-commit.html Any idea or working example ? Thanks Enrico
