RE: [Clirr-devel] Swamped

[Vincent M. <vma...@pi...>]

Hi Lars and Simon,

There are actually several plugins in Maven dedicated to deployments:
- scm plugin
- dist plugin
- artifact (e.g. jar:deploy, war:deploy, or using directly the =
<artifact>
tag)
- site:deploy
- release plugin

The release should not be used as deprecated. The scm plugin is ok but =
is
quite tied to how deploying plugins in Maven works, that is:
- it works only with CVS
- it assumes there is a changes.xml file that describe changes
- it assumes we're using the <versions> tag

I think this is all fine for us and we should be able to use the scm =
plugin.
Here's what it does:
- modify the project.xml and changes.xml to swap a SNAPSHOT version and
replace it with the final version name (it also reformats the =
changes.xml
file)
- apply a CVS tag
- checkout a fresh copy of the tag and build the project
- upload the artifact to the Maven remote repo

What I don't know is whether it works with a  multiproject or not. I've
never tried it and it's not used for multiprojects in Maven land. But =
who
knows... In any case I think it would require minimal changes to make it
work for multiprojects.

The artifact plugin works very fine and we can use it easily. It doesn't =
do
all the fancy stuff the scm plugin does: it concentrates on deploying a
built artifact to a Maven remote repo.

The dist plugin does not currently work for multiprojects but that =
should be
easy to fix. It builds zips and targz of the project and upload source =
and
binary distributions to a maven remote repo. It's complementary to the =
scm
plugin which only releases artifacts, not complete distribution.

Then there is the NSIS plugin which generates installers for a project. =
I
haven't used it yet.

Hope it helps,
-Vincent
