Release plugin: release project from within subdirectory
Hello,
I'm trying to set up release plugin for a project that lives in the
subdirectory of the repo;
That is, given the layout like this:
<repo root>
|- pom.xml
|
|- [module1]
| |- pom.xml
|
|- [module2]
| |- pom.xml
|
|- [tools]
|- [mytool]
|- pom.xml
I'd like to release "mytool", which is completely standalone module.
mvn release:clean release:prepare release:perform -f tools/mytool/pom.xml
Initial configuration was like this:
<configuration>
<preparationGoals>clean</preparationGoals>
<goals>deploy</goals>
</configuration>
release:clean and release:prepare went as expected, i.e. against
"tools/mytool". But release:perform checked out whole codebase under
tools/mytool/target/checkout, and invoked "mvn deploy" against root pom of
the checkout folder. Which is basically another project
With no luck I tried number of options:
*
<pomFileName>${project.build.directory}/checkout/tools/mytool/pom.xml</pomFileName>
* <pomFileName>tools/mytool/pom.xml</pomFileName>
* <arguments>-f tools/mytool/pom.xml</arguments>
* <arguments>-f
${project.build.directory}/checkout/tools/mytool/pom.xml</arguments>
Still deploy is invoked against root pom. Generally, is it possible to
release project located in a repo subdirectory?
- maven 2.2.1
- release plugin 2.0
Thanks,
Pavel

Got stuck with the same problem. Is there a solution to this?

Then you stop, you fix the bug, submit the fix upstream, and move on.
I did that a few weeks ago with a problem I was having with the maven-resources-plugin (among others), I discovered my problem had been reported 5 years ago my more than one person, but nobody had spent the hour or so that it took to fix it.

Lack of discipline always wins.
It drives me up the wall when I have to pick apart and undo some ugly hack that was put in place because someone wasn't willing to get the original job done properly, and I'm left forced having to debug the hack they put in place instead.
When you encounter a problem that seems to need a hack, picture yourself in six months time, arms crossed glaring at yourself today, going "you could have fixed it and didn't, and now look at how I am suffering...".
Regards,
Graham

What happens when you are trying to deliver code but cannot because
the tool of the righteous doesn't work for you? Pragmatism always
wins. Anyway, to me it looks like a pretty valid use case that you'd
have a git repo with associated documentation to go with the code. The
canonical example many others before me have mentioned is that you
have folders such as documentation/ and development/ at the root your
of your git repo. The pomFileName option is there but just doesn't
seem to work.

Maven is about doing things the right way, no hacks.
Hacks impede understanding of a project by others (or yourself 6 months
later) and are an antipattern
What happens when 6 months down the line you need a new feature and decide
to upgrade the release plugin? You have relied on the hack, and the hack
works no more... Far better to reorg the project processes so the hack is
no longer required up front. You will have a simpler project and you can
just concentrate on writing code.... Time spent hacking the build is time
not coding

Thanks Werdex. Using the release plugin version 2.3.2 and it's still
exactly the same, only <goals>deploy -f Sources/pom.xml</goals> works
when the pom.xml is not in the root, regardless of pomFileName
setting. Stephen, isn't that exactly why you want to lock down the
plugin versions? I'll take a well-working hack any day over proper but
broken.

fyi that is a hack and may not work in future versions when the bug is fixed

Hi,
The following did trick for me:
<configuration>
<goals>deploy -f Sources/pom.xml</goals>
</configuration>
