Uploading a bundle to Nexus

[Henri Yandell <fl...@gmail.com>]

Her'es my email from the Lang release.

Nowadays I use jar to build it from scratch rather than having Maven
build a jar.

    jar cf ../../${ARTIFACTID}-${VERSION}-bundle.jar *.jar *.pom *.asc

I think it's good in Nexus now:

https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/releases/org/apache/commons/commons-lang3/

Hopefully that means it'll be heading off to maven.central at some point.

The upload is different from the documentation I was pointed to - but
fairly easy once you've done it. It should be very scriptable. What I
did was:

svn export the code
Run 'mvn source:jar javadoc:jar repository:bundle-create'
Discover that that wasn't good enough as I didn't have the PGP ascs.
Fair enough. Start again.

Take the maven repo our current release instructions say to use. Copy
*.jar, *.pom and *.asc into a directory. Go in there and zip the files
up into the bundle jar. I used zip and the existing bundle jar from
step 1, but there's no reason why you couldn't just make it. I doubt
the manifest is important (and using jar to create the jar rather than
my habit of zip would help there).

Next login to Nexus and go to the Staging Upload. Choose resource
bundle (ignore the pom + artifacts as that seems to get confused with
poms and asc files). Add the bundle. That should work and will point
you to the location in the staging repo.

Go to staging and hit release.

So ideally this can be pretty easy. Do the current build process. Run
a script (ant, shell, whatever) to take the jar, pom and asc files and
stick them in a jar. Then upload that to Nexus and hit release.

Fingers crossed that I got this in the right place for this to head to
the right place :)
