[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-2406) Remove manual updating of the VERSION.txt

["Christophe Le Saec (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2406?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17605764#comment-17605764 ] 

Christophe Le Saec commented on AVRO-2406:
------------------------------------------

If VERSION.txt was in properties format ({{version_avro=1.12.0}}), it would be possible to use [properties-maven-plugin|https://www.mojohaus.org/properties-maven-plugin/] 
With 
{code:xml}
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>properties-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.1.0</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>initialize</phase>
                        <goals><goal>read-project-properties</goal></goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <files>
                        <file>${basedir}/VERSION.txt</file>
                    </files>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
{code}
And use the property directly in pom files :
{code:xml}
  <groupId>org.apache.avro</groupId>
  <artifactId>avro-toplevel</artifactId>
  <version>${version_avro}</version>
{code}
So, no need to execute "mvn versions:set ..." command.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: build
>    Affects Versions: 1.9.0
>            Reporter: Fokko Driesprong
>            Priority: Major

> Right now we're still manually updating the VERSION.txt:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AVRO/How+To+Release
> The process is cumbersome and error-prone. It would be better to automate the detection of this version. For example, generate this by extracting the version from the pom.xml.
