I know I read this (on someones blog I think) but did not realise I would
need to care until recently and now I cant find how to do this.

The requirement is to not deploy sources.jar to the artifactory when
we do mvn release:perform

Thanks in advance for any/all help

To: Maven Users List <***@maven.apache.org>

Hello

Working in release mgmt, one of my many jobs is to ensure that we can reliably
reproduce what will be delivered to a customer.

We are using flexbuilder3 in a windows/maven development environment.
I check out the code from svn and run mvn clean install. This generates
a war file that contains swf files among other things.
I move that war file aside and run mvn clean install a second time.

When I compare the 2 wars, I see that the swf files are different in
the 2 versions.
As swf files are binary it is extremely difficult to determine if the
only difference
between the 2 is timestamps.

Please, what can I do to eliminate these differences?

Thanks in advance for any help,
-Gord

You can override the "release-profile" profile of the super pom. Define this profile yourself and ensure that the maven-source-plugin does not define an execution to build a sources jar.

Hello Todd

My apologies as I am just getting to know mvn.

From my searching, we do not reference the maven-source-plugin

directly anywhere.
I have located the reference to the maven-release-plugin. It is in our
topmost pom.xml
and contains only:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<arguments>-Dmaven.test.skip=true</arguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

If I understand what you are saying I need to explicitly invoke the
maven-source-plugin
but configure it so that it does not have specify any goals. Is that correct?

Appreciating your patience, Gord

You get these settings indirectly through POM inheritence. So everything in the super POM [1] you get automatically unless you have explicitly overridden it.

Take a look at the <profiles> section of the super pom. You will see a profile with an ID of release-profile. This is where the source and javadoc plugins are configured. So you can get this behaviour simply by issuing the following mvn command:

mvn -DperformRelease=true deploy

or

mvn -Prelease-profile deploy

The release plugin executes this profile during the release:perform goal by setting the performRelease property to true. If you wish to change the behaviour of release:peform, copy this profile to your POM and remove the maven-source-plugin.

Don't activate the 'release' profile during your release -- that's
what has the source and javadoc jars configured.

mvn release:perform ... -DuseReleaseProfile=false

Thanks Wendy.

We have to do a release in a couple of days so I wont be able to
verify this till
then and of course once I knew what to look for I found it in the parameter doc
for the release plugin.

Have a great day, Gord
