Hi,
I´m actually using the maven-release-plugin with Base ClearCase, but with
some (known) limitations:
- i could only release modules within a tree, not a flat directory
hierarchy
- i could only release modules at the main branch; releasing at a branch
is not possible due to the configspec generaration - you need to release
per hand
- i could only release modules one can load with a simple load rule;
defining multiple load rules in the <scm> section is not expected.
For bootstrapping (mvn scm:bootstrap ) my configuration looks like:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<goals>install</goals>
<checkoutDirectory>c:\LocalViewsMaven\${artifactId}-${version}</checkoutDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
For releasing afterwards (mvn release:prepare, mvn release:perform), my
configuration looks like
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<!-- sonst kann selbst bei SNAPSHOT-plugins nichts
released werden -->
<allowTimestampedSnapshots>true</allowTimestampedSnapshots>
<workingDirectory>c:\LocalViewsRelease\${artifactId}-${version}</workingDirectory>
<!-- sonst funktioniert der MultiModule build im Release
nicht -->
<preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Doing so, there were two Snapshot Views being created:
C:\LocalViewsMaven\myproject-1.0-SNAPSHOT (mvn scm:bootstrap)
C:\LocalViewsRelease\myproject-1.1-SNAPSHOT (mvn release:perform)
As you can see, the name of the "Release Snapshot view" is bad - it better
would be C:\LocalViewsRelease\myproject-1.0 but I dont know how to do
that.
After releasing your project you than have to delete those created
Snapshot Views, because otherwise you would run into problems, when trying
to release it the next time:
C:\LocalViewsMaven\myproject-1.1-SNAPSHOT (mvn scm:bootstrap)
C:\LocalViewsRelease\myproject-1.2-SNAPSHOT (mvn release:perform)
=> a snapshot view with "myproject-1.1-SNAPSHOT" already exists (name of
the release snapshot view from the last release phase)
have fun,
Torsten
Hi Torsten,
I've been trying to get the maven-release-plugin working with ClearCase
and came across this message:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg79519.html
Wanted to find out if you'd had any luck solving this problem - I get a
similar error trying to do release:perform.
Cheers,
Todd
