How to perform a release build? [message #1855418]

Hi,

I am trying to create an internal service-release of RAP with some patches of 3.23 merged into 3.22. The resulting artifacts should be RELEASE and not SNAPSHOT artifacts.

I tried the tycho / maven relese docs found at: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Release_Workflow

The steps I tried:
1. checked out 3.22-R
2. modified org.eclpise.rap.build/pom.xml to include the maven release part mentioned in the Releae_Workflow documentation.
3. commit changed pom
4. mvn release:prepare -DreleaseVersion=3.22.0 -DdevelopmentVersion=3.22.0-SNAPSHOT

pretty soon it gets stuck at resolving snapshot dependencies (please see end of the post).

I wonder what staps am I missing that are typically performed when creating a RAP release?

Thank you in advance and best regards, Clemens

For historical reasons I am still using our old process of publishing the bundles at Maven Central. At the time when we started publishing there it wasn't possible to use Tycho for it, and we never had the time/budget/energy to change that.

As input I am using the jar files from the p2 repository which is generated as part of the regular build process, plus a set of simple pom.xml files that describe each of the to be published jar files.
Then I am using gpg:sign-and-deploy-file in order to generate the required signatures and checksums, and to upload it to Maven Central, but I have my doubts that this is really helpful in your case.

Thanks and regards
Markus

Hi Markus,

Good to know the tycho-based approach is not supposed to work, I thought I am simply to unexperienced with tycho to get it working.
I performed the release build rather "old school" - simply removed all -SNAPSHOT / .qualifier suffixes from all pom.xml / MANIFEST.MF files and everything worked as expected.

Thanks and best regards, Clemens
