I'm converting from Maven 1.0 (with a custom plugin for deploying tarballs) to Maven 2.0.
I previously discovered that this set of comands does what my M1 plugin did: mvn clean package appassembler:assemble assembly:assembly wagon:deploy That is, it collects all the dependencies, creates a run script and tars everything up. That's great. That's one plug-in I don't have to rewrite. Just today I got releasing to work correctly. So, here is what I did: mvn release:prepare mvn release:perform mvn clean package appassembler:assemble assembly:assembly wagon:deploy Everything work fine except I need a tarball named something like project-1.2.3.tar.gz. What I got (of course, now that I think of it) was project-1.2.4-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz. So, what I need is a way to either tie "appassembler:assemble assembly:assembly wagon:deploy" to release:perform or I need a way to pull version 1.2.3 out of CVS and package it up. What I'll like is something that would pull the pom out of the local repository and then pull the source for the lable in the pom from cvs. Is such a thing possible? If I can't do this, how can I tie my tarball creation commands to release:perform? Thanks. -- Esse Quam Videre To Be, rather than to Seem
