A maven release plugin built for multi-maven-module git repositories allowing continuous deployment

Documentation, download, and usage instructions

Full usage details, FAQs, background and more are available on the project documention website.

Development

Contributing

To build and run the tests, you need Java 6 or later and Maven 3 or later. Simply clone and run mvn install

Note that the tests run the plugin against a number of sample test projects, located in the test-projects folder. If adding new functionality, or fixing a bug, it is recommended that a sample project be set up so that the scenario can be tested end-to-end.

See also CONTRIBUTING.md for information on deploying to Nexus and releasing the plugin.

TODO

Features

• Allow easy way to bump minor or major versions of a module (during release?)
• Allow an optional label that is appended to the version
• Allow optional appending of branch name to release version if not "master" (or supplied regex)

Stability stuff

• Figure out if things like MVN_OPTIONS and other JVM options need to be passed during release
• Run E2E tests against multiple Maven versions
• Have a retry on all remote-git operations to cover flaky servers (?)
• Test the plugin on very large repositories
• Tests on partial-releases:
  • Make sure the diffdetector works correctly with branches, specifically when one brance has a change another doesn't, and when two branches have changes
