Hi,
I´m trying to establish our ReleaseBuild with the maven-release-plugin and
ClearCase (using Snapshot views)
I´m using maven-release-plugin:2.0-beta-7
The first Snapshotview (Developer SnapshotView) actually resides at
C:\LocalViews\username_pcname_viewname\VOB_name\projectname
In the pom.xml I have:
...
<scm>
<!-- scm:checkout
-DcheckoutDirectory=C:\LocalViewsMaven\gide-common-view -->
<connection>scm:clearcase:load
/pdv_cms/GDCAMS/src/gide-common</connection>
<developerConnection>scm:clearcase:load
/pdv_cms/GDCAMS/src/gide-common</developerConnection>
<tag/>
<url/>
</scm>
...
now i can "mvn scm:checkout
-DcheckoutDirectory=C:\LocalViewsMaven\viewname"
The second Snapshowview (for Maven Release purposes) now resides at
C:\LocalViewsMaven\viewname
now i can "mvn release:prepare" and the magic with the pom.xml
manipulation starts successfully.
Finally, I want to "mvn release:perform" where I run into problems,
because ClearCase cannot checkout in the same directory of an existing
view.
Therefore I configured in the pom.xml
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-7</version>
<configuration>
<allowTimestampedSnapshots>true</allowTimestampedSnapshots>
<workingDirectory>c:\Release\${artifactId}\${version}</workingDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<build>
At this point, I couldn´t pass the workingDirectory via CommandLine
arguments....
The third Snapshotview is now created, but at .....\nextRelease-SNAPSHOT,
containing the Release version.....
Is that the right way? Or am I doing something wrong / too much?
Has anyone experience (and success) in using maven-release-plugin with
ClearCase?
Any complete sample configuration ?
Thanx, Torsten
