SVN Revision Number in the name of a snapshot artifact
Hi all,
I am using Continuum 1.0.3, Maven 2.0.4 & SVN . I have configured Continuum
to publish the artifacts it build into a shared repository, as described in
the 'Better Builds With Maven' book. I would like the revision number of the
SVN repository to be part of the version number of artifacts generated by
Continuum. Is there a simple way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Binil
PS: I am unsure if this question had been asked here before; I tried
searching the list archives and could not find the answer.

Re: SVN Revision Number in the name of a snapshot artifact

Thanks for replying!
I think I understand this better now. In my build logs, I have
[INFO] [deploy:deploy]
[INFO] Retrieving previous build number from artifacts
Uploading: /path/to/shared/repo/project/mymodule/1.0-SNAPSHOT/mymodule-1.0-20060802.093051-13.jar
71K uploaded
So, it looks like Maven looks at the shared repository, and figures out a
version qualifier & build number. The qualifier is the timestamp and build
number is figured out by incrementing the last build number. In my case, I
guess, since I started from a clean repository and no build has failed yet,
the build number corresponds to Continuum build number (which mislead me
into thinking that Continuum decides the build number).
I will try the Maven user list.
Thanks,
Binil

Re: SVN Revision Number in the name of a snapshot artifact

ah I see where your going, have you tried the maven users list? that
is very much something that would be configured directly in maven, if
it can be done like you are shooting for, which I am not to confident
would be supported without adding some custom artifact resolvers.
cheers!

Re: SVN Revision Number in the name of a snapshot artifact
Posted by Binil Thomas <bi...@gmail.com>.
Hi Jesse,
Thanks for the reply.
I am using SNAPSHOT dependencies between modules. Continuum does generate
the SNAPSHOT binaries with a timestamp, and Maven 2 lets developers depend
on the latest SNAPSHOT automatically. All that functionality you mention
works fine for me.
Since the SCM I am using - SVN - does version the repository by revision
numbers, I am interested in making the artifact's name also to contain it.
Right now, Continuum generates artifacts named like, say,
artifact-1.0-20060801.123409-10.jar. Here, the number 10, I think, is the
build number. Instead of this, I was hoping that I can get the revision
number from SVN. This way, looking at the artifact name I can know precisely
where it came from. SVN does a great job of ensuring atomic commits and
maintaining revision numbers for the whole repository; it would be a shame
not to make use of that.
To summarize, I am fine with the way SNAPSHOT builds work in general. All I
am looking for is a way to make use of the SVN revision number within the
SNAPSHOT version number. Note that for non-SNAPSHOT binaries, I *want*
version numbers exactly as mentioned in the POM. :-)
Thanks,
Binil

Re: SVN Revision Number in the name of a snapshot artifact
Posted by Jesse McConnell <je...@gmail.com>.
I don't really know of a simple way to do that, there are a couple of
factors at play here..
the <version> tag in the pom.xml is what governs the version that is
appended to the artifact for storage in the repository, and that
version doesn't change with scm version numbers anyway that I know of
(of course I could be wrong, there might be a way).
If you need functionality that can map a version in a repository to a
particular snapshot in time of the scm then I would recommend using
the SNAPSHOTs setup. In these the version of your pom would be
something like 1.0-SNAPSHOT and then whenever continuum deployed the
snapshot it would replace that version with a timestamp. That
timestamp could be turn be converted into a date that could you pass
into subversion and get the checkout of source corresponding to that
point in time.
that is nice also in that developers using your continuum published
repository don't have to do anything to get the latest releases of
code into thier development environment, maven will download the
latest snapshot for them.
anyway, good luck!
