Custom Processors / Service packaging

[Etienne Jouvin]

Hello all.

Upgrade to 1.12.1 for my custom processors and services.
What a surprise, the packaging failed with error message :
[WARNING] Rule 0: org.apache.maven.plugins.enforcer.RequireReleaseDeps
failed with message:
Other than org apache nifi components themselves no snapshot dependencies
are allowed
Found Banned Dependency: XXX:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Use 'mvn dependency:tree' to locate the source of the banned dependencies.


I checked the default pom.xml file and what a surprise :
<execution>
    <id>enforce-no-snapshots</id>
    <goals>
        <goal>enforce</goal>
    </goals>
    <configuration>
        <rules>
            <requireReleaseDeps>
                <message>Other than org apache nifi components themselves
no snapshot dependencies are allowed</message>
                <!-- If we want to only enforce this for nifi release
itself we should add 'onlyWhenRelease' and remove
'failWhenParentIsSnapshot' element -->
                <failWhenParentIsSnapshot>false</failWhenParentIsSnapshot>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>org.apache.nifi:*</exclude>
                    <exclude>org.apache.nifi.registry:*</exclude>
                </excludes>
            </requireReleaseDeps>
        </rules>
        <fail>true</fail>
    </configuration>
</execution>

I understand a restriction is necessary on dependencies. But it also means
that we can not develop custom processors / services with a different group.

Or may be there is a specific profile for packaging during development
phase, with SNAPSHOTS ?

ANy idea ?
