P2 Bridge

Releasing

As this plugin is "special", it requires totally different release procedure than the one we use for "normal" projects.

Prerequisites

• Maven 3.0.4+
• Java6+

Prepare release (on release machine)

• SSH to release machine
• Clone and ensure on master branch

git clone [email protected]:sonatype/p2-bridge.git
git checkout master

• Set version on all projects to the release version (ie. was 1.0.4-SNAPSHOT, set it to 1.0.4)

mvn -Dtycho.mode=maven org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:0.18.0:set-version -DnewVersion=1.0.4

• Check that there is no trace left of previous version (e.g. 1.0.3 and 1.0.3-SNAPSHOT and 1.0.4-SNAPSHOT)
• Verify that MANIFEST.MF imported/exported packages are correct (export should have proper versions set)
• Verify that no SNAPSHOT dependencies are used (search for SNAPSHOT)
• Verify that bundle version has no ".qualifier" (search for qualifier), if any found, remove them.
• Build it

mvn clean install

• Commit changes

git commit -a -m "Bumped version number to 1.0.4"

• Tag release

git tag -a 1.0.4 -m "Release 1.0.4"

Perform release (on release machine)

• Release it

mvn clean deploy -Prelease

• Bump version to next snapshot

mvn -Dtycho.mode=maven org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:0.18.0:set-version -DnewVersion=1.0.5-SNAPSHOT

• Check that there is no trace left of released version (e.g. 1.0.4)
• Verify that imported/exported packages are correct (those will be still 1.0.4, release version)
• Build it

mvn clean install

• Commit changes

git commit -a -m "Bumped version number to 1.0.5-SNAPSHOT"

• Push back all (don't forget tags) to origin

git push
git push --tags

• Have a beer
