Apache Maven 3.0-alpha-4 Released

2009-11-17T03:11:12Z

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Maven
3.0-alpha-4.

Maven is a project comprehension and build tool, designed to simplify
the process of maintaining a healthy development lifecycle for your
project. You can read more here:

http://maven.apache.org/

Downloads of source and binary distributions are already available on
the central Maven repository and various Apache download mirrors and
will be listed soon in our download section once the updated site gets
synced to the live server:

http://maven.apache.org/download.html

A major goal of Maven 3.0 is to be compatible with existing plugins and
projects designed for Maven 2.x. Users interested in testing this alpha
release should have a glance at the compatibility notes for known
differences between Maven 3.0 and Maven 2.x:

http://cwiki.apache.org/MAVEN/maven-3x-compatibility-notes.html

If you encounter unexpected problems while using Maven 3.0-alpha-4,
please feel free to contact us via the Maven developer list:

Apache Source-Release Assembly Descriptor 1.0.2 Released

2009-11-12T14:48:00Z

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Source-Release Assembly Descriptor, version 1.0.2.

This is a standardized assembly descriptor for use in the
maven-assembly-plugin. Source-release artifacts are archives which
contain the full project structure (sources only, no build output) that
are the subject of an ASF release vote.

The new version of the descriptor fixes the erroneous exclusion of some
file types like IDE files from the source archive even if those files
are located in the src/ directory tree of a project, i.e. denote actual
project sources (e.g. required for unit testing).

http://maven.apache.org/apache-resource-bundles/apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor/

This new descriptor will eventually be incorporated into the Apache
Parent POM. If you want to try out the source-release descriptor in the
meantime, you can include a configuration like the following:

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-beta-4</version>

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.apache.resources</groupId>

aims to support filtering of system properties and command-line
properties used to execute Maven.

To use this API, you should add the following dependency to your project:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.shared</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-filtering</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-3</version>
</dependency>

Apache Source-Release Assembly Descriptor 1.0 Released

2009-08-21T16:00:54Z

It appears that the site/repository synchronization is moving slowly, so
please be patient and these artifacts and site updates should be showing
up before long. I want to make sure I get this announcement out before I
forget it, though.

---

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Source-Release Assembly Descriptor, version 1.0.

This is a standardized assembly descriptor for use in the
maven-assembly-plugin. Source-release artifacts are archives which
contain the full project structure (sources only, no build output) that
are the subject of an ASF release vote.

http://maven.apache.org/apache-resource-bundles/apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor/

This assembly descriptor should be coming to a parent POM near you, and
should eventually be an automatic part of every ASF release. For now, it
has been configured into the release process for Maven projects that
inherit from maven-parent version 13 (also recently released). If you
want to try out the source-release descriptor in the meantime, you can
include a configuration like the following:

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-beta-4</version>

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.apache.resources</groupId>

<artifactId>apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

<executions>
<execution>
<id>source-release</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>source-release</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
<tarLongFileMode>gnu</tarLongFileMode>
<runOnlyAtExecutionRoot>true</runOnlyAtExecutionRoot>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Enjoy,

The Maven Team

the following plugin configuration to your POM:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jarsigner-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
...
</executions>
</plugin>
