Release

How to make a release.

• Make sure your local repo is up to date

git checkout master

git pull --rebase

Close the milestone

On github check the issues and milestones, move any un-fixed issues to the next milestone, close the milestone.

Prepare the release

below is an example for non-interactive use, see the release:prepare example and the full documentation for all the details

mvn release:prepare -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -DdevelopmentVersion=4.5.7-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=4.5.6 -Dtag=v4.5.6

• -DautoVersionSubmodules=true: to automatically version all modules in the project
• -DdevelopmentVersion=4.5.7-SNAPSHOT: This will be the next development version
• -DreleaseVersion=4.5.6: This is the version number which will be released
• -Dtag=v4.5.6: The tagname

You can add -l rel-prepare.log to the command to create a logfile, you can add -DdryRun=true to see what will happen.

Note you will need an active or cached GIT+SSH connection to the repository to push the tag

Build release

Directly after preparing the release you should perform the release; this will build and upload the artifacts into the B3Partners Maven repository.

mvn release:perform

You can add -l rel-perform.log to the command to create a logfile.
