howto release/deploy an m2 plugin?

[Milos Kleint <mk...@gmail.com>]

hello,

I have the maven-nbm-plugin (to create netbeans module artifacts) converted
from m1 to m2. I would like to release it now but I'm actually clueless
howto do it. My plugin is located at
mevenide.codehaus.org<http://mevenide.codehaus.org>(like the m1
version was). Is there a m2 repository synchronization in place
like there is for m1? or shall I copy the repository related pom elements
from poms at mojo.codehaus.org <http://mojo.codehaus.org>? will I have
enough privileges to perform the deploy?

and the release is done by running "m2 deploy" i suppose. Or is there more
to do?

Regards,

Milos Kleint

oh, now we probably misunderstood each other. I was talking about the m2
plugin.
there seem to be multiple levels of citizenship in the m2's plugin
enviroment.
first clas citizens like site, eclipse or war plugins get recognized easily,
so you just type m2 "site:site" and it works.
with a second class citizen you need to type the
groupId:artifactId:version:goal combo to make it run. I do understand the
reasoning here and it makes perfect sense, but from useability point of view
it's a complication.
now if I don't have my plugin in the central repository I become even 3rd
class citizen, because someone wanting to use the plugin needs to specify
the additional repository in the pom of the project (Am I correct here?)

I guess I can overcome that by creating the archetype template and make the
setup work correctly. Then everything should work alost out of the box for
everyone.

Cheers

Can you elaborate? Adding a new update center to netbeans is not that
big of a problem...

Ok. They sound best as separate plugins.

I'm hoping there is some docs on this in the new site, but if not you
can use the existing ones as an example. There's nothing special about
publishing them, they just need to be a jar in the repository with the
appopriate template files within them.

eg.

m2 archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mevenide
-DarchetypeArtifactId=mevenide-nbm-archetype [-DarchetypeVersion=...]

hmmm.. ok i will try, that came to my mind as well, just wanted to make it
easier to use the plugin. any non-central repository plugin's
usability is seriously hurt IMHO.

well, netbeans project generator creates netbeans project related files in
the project's directory (the funny part about it is that it creates an
ant-based build out of the maven based setup :)
my nbm plugin allows to build netbeans modules (like eclipse plugins) using
maven.

one more question. how do I create another template for the
maven-archetype-plugin? I'd like to create a template for creating the
netbeans modules. Will you accept it as contribution? or does it have some
kind of registration mechanism to find templates elsewhere?

m2 deploy is for copying to the repo. We should talk about setting up
a sync process. For now, create a repository in the m2 layout for
yourself - you can add that to your POM to use the plugin, and later
we will get them synced to ibiblio.

Does this relate to the Netbeans project generator plugins by Wilfred
and Raphael?
