Hi Joe
You shouldn't need to release the parent or eba-maven-plugin if they
haven't changed. However, we will need to update the project poms so
that they are dependent upon the 0.1-incubating version rather than
the 0.2-incubating version of parent/plugin.
Actually, if we do need want to release only a subset of the projects
and the parent and/or plugin have changed we may need to release the
parent/plugin before we can release the individual projects. I'm not
sure if the maven release process can handle dependencies being
concurrently released if they are not all part of the same
release-prepare.
Can you share the list of projects that have changed?
The list is:
application
blueprint
eba-maven-plugin
jmx
jndi
jpa
samples
transaction
util
...so, in fact everything :-) While I was looking at the source tree I
also noticed that 'quiesce' appears to be a new top level project, if so
I guess that needs to be released too.
Also, can you share a list of the differences between the release
repository and our downloads page?
In the repository but not listed as a download are:
default-parent, java5-parent, parent, testsupport and web.
I guess that it is because there is nothing to download for (at least
some) of these. It may be that we have to release new levels of parent,
default-parent, java5-parent each time. In any case I can't see that it
would do any particular harm to do so. I can't see why web and
testsupport are there. If no-one knows I would leave them out :-)

Hi
I have all the fixes we need in the 0.2-incubating-RCx branch. Now I
have a question about the next step of the process.
The next step is to run 'mvn release-prepare' I think. As we don't want
to release everything I believe I have to run it several times in each
of the projects to be released, so, from the top level of the checkout:
cd parent
mvn release-prepare
cd ../eba-maven-plugin
mvn release-prepare
cd ../blueprint
mvn release-prepare
Is this correct? Do I need the parent & eba-maven-plugin steps if
nothing has changed in them? I've tried comparing what is already in the
release repository here:
https://repository.apache.org/index.html#view-repositories;releases with
the bundles we make available for download and they don't quite match
:-)
