[jira] Commented: (MNG-3869) Adding a phase called 'pre-deploy'

["Yann Albou (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3869?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=158638#action_158638 ] 

Yann Albou commented on MNG-3869:
---------------------------------

The problem using a profile is that all developpers will need to explicitly define the profile when they will do "mvn deploy".
If they forget then no zip, no sources or no javadocs jar file in the remote repository.

Except if it exists a way to automatically activate a profile depending on a goal ?

>             Project: Maven 2
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.8, 2.0.9, 2.0.10, 2.1.0-M1, 3.0-alpha-1
>            Reporter: Yann Albou

> Our company policy mandates, for each release, the deployment of the following artifacts, alongside the usual ones (jar, war, ear):
> * for each module:
>   - sources.jar
>   - javadocs.jar  
> * for each EAR:
>   - a zip assembly
> We use the plugins maven-source-plugin, maven-javadoc-plugin and maven-assembly-plugin, all binded to the package phase.
> However all these artifacts are only really needed when releasing, ie when calling the deploy phase. Generating them in the package phase slows down unnecessarily the developer's builds.
> We tried to bind the plugins to the deploy phase but the default deploy:deploy goal is always executed before any other goals and the artifacts aren't deployed.
> The obvious solution would be to have a "pre-deploy" phase where we could generate these release artifacts, and have them deployed normally in the deploy phase.
