CVS doesn't like dots (release plugin)

Hi all,

I'm currently digging the Maven release plugin, but I'd like to be able
to run it in batch mode, accepting the default values it suggests for
version, scm tag, etc.

Unfortunately, CVS doesn't seem to like dots '.' in a tag name.  Is
there any mechanism I can invoke to override the default prompts,
replacing dots with underscores, for example?  I know I can override the
tag, but then I'd have to put the version number in two places:  the pom
and the CI box.  That is, I'd rather the tag come from the version in
the pom, just with underscores instead of dots, e.g. 2.0.3 resolves to
2_0_3.

Thanks,
Jim

IIRC, there used to be a way that you could specify all of the information
for a release up-front, to allow it all to be batched out via some sort of
automated process...if those parameters are still there, you should be able
to use them to specify your own tags. I doubt that it has the ability to
accept a tag-prompt template, though. Try this, for more information:

mvn help:describe -Dplugin=release -Dmojo=prepare =Dfull=true | less

Good luck, and I'd still file this one in JIRA (if you can't find it there
already):

RE: Plugin execution for a specific packaging

Posted by Peter Nilsson <pe...@orcsoftware.com>.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. Project properties (or user properties
defined in pom) cannot be used to activate a profile.

I found a thread where someone had tried the same thing without success:
http://www.nabble.com/Can-I-activate-a-profile-based-on-module-type--tf14098
16s177.html

Back to reorganize the build tree I suppose.

Anyhow, thanks for the help Jeroen.

It might actually be "project.packaging".

Re: Plugin execution for a specific packaging

You might be on to something there....

The page:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
mentiones this piece of code. Activiation based on a property.

This will activate the profile when the system property "debug" is specified
with any value:

<profiles>
  <profile>
    <activation>
      <property>
        <name>debug</name>
      </property>
    </activation>
    ...
  </profile>
</profiles>


Wouldn't a property named "packaging" with the relevant value work?
Packaging is the tag defining a projects, ehr, packaging. Which is exactly
the granularity you want to configure at.

Well worth to try.

RE: Plugin execution for a specific packaging

Posted by Peter Nilsson <pe...@orcsoftware.com>.
Yes, for the plugins we have developed in house it is no problem but that is
not what I am struggling with right now (as you noticed).

Reorganizing the tree is an option and is exactly what I am considering
right now. However, I would rather keep a functional organization of my
build tree and use features of the build system for controlling the build of
different type of artifacts. A functional organization makes it easier for
developers to check out and build only the part of the tree they are working
on. A build tree organized after artifact type does not map to responsible
developer/team very well.

Perhaps it would be possible to use profiles for controlling the use of
plugins and let the packaging activate the profile?

Thanks.

So yes it is possible, but not declarativly..

(I just read your post again, and see that you are using standard Maven
mojo's and are not developing your own.)

You probably noticed that running a mojo for all projects is easy. But that
running for a subtype is more work.

You could consider using an inheritance tree for your poms.

+ toplevel pom
--jar pom
----FooBar pom
--ejb pom
----FooBarEjb pom

You would then define the checkstyle stuff in the jar of ejb poms.

But it will probably not fit somewhere.

This will wett your appetite:

      * @readonly

     private String packaging;

    /**

    public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException,
MojoFailureException {
        getLog().info(packaging);
        if (packaging == null || !packaging.equals("ejb")) {

Plugin execution for a specific packaging

Posted by Peter Nilsson <pe...@orcsoftware.com>.
Hi,

I have a build tree with 30+ projects of different packaging (jar, pom, dll,
so, plugin, etc) built with Maven and I would like to specify in the top
pom.xml that certain plugins are used for all projects of a given packaging.
For example, I would like to have the CheckStyle plugin run on all projects
with packaging "jar".

Of course I can set the configuration of the plugins in the top pom (with a
pluginmanagement tag) and then just invoke the plugin explicitly in the
projects but I would like to enforce that the plugin is used for all
projects of the given packaging. It is very easy for example to forget to
add CheckStyle to a new jar project.

Adding the possibility of using a packaging filter to an execution element
would solve it, but there are perhaps other ways? Any ideas?

	Peter

I think this is fixed in trunk, and has been for a while. Problem is,
the release plugin hasn't been released in a long time.
