Releasing A Maven Shared Component

Releasing a Maven component is much the same as any other Maven project. The following guide walks through most of the steps:

Note that components have particular conventions for deploying the project site. When encountered in the release process above, perform the following steps:

Staging the latest documentation

Once the release is prepared, but before the release vote, the site needs to be staged.

The shared component parent POM is configured to stage the documentation in a "versioned" directory such as /shared-archives/maven-XXX-Y.Z.

  1. Stage the documentation for the current release version (not the new snapshot). 
    cd target/checkout
mvn site site-deploy -Preporting

deployed to http://maven.apache.org/shared-archives/maven-XXX-Y.Z/

Deploying the release website

After the release has passed, the site needs to be uploaded.

Note: Be sure to generate and deploy the site using the same version of the release. Typically, you need to check out the tag (or go to target/checkout)

cd target/checkout
mvn site-deploy -Preporting -Psite-release

Or 

svn rm https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/content/shared/maven-XXX
svn cp https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/content/shared-archives/maven-XXX-Y.Z \ 
           https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/maven/content/shared/maven-XXX

To review the site, wait for the files to arrive at

http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-XXX/
