| Re: [emf-dev] Publishing to Maven Central |
Hi Martin,
Looking at existing emf artifacts in Maven Central, I see that
those have versions in the format like 2.11.1-v20150805-0538
First it's great to see that the qualifier is separated by '-',
not '.', so these are indeed parsable maven versions.
For the Eclipse Project we decided to publish our artifacts
with 3-part versions, i.e., no qualifier at all, in order
to avoid interpretation as snapshots (we are not publishing
any snapshots to maven).
I quickly made the test that
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.emf</groupId>
<artifactId>org.eclipse.emf.ecore</artifactId>
<version>2.11.1</version>
</dependency>
cannot be resolved from Maven Central, although EMF 2.11.1
clearly has been published.
Do you see particular reasons why the qualifier would be
important for users? Or is this just an artifact of the
build tools being used?
In my current reading maven would parse "2.11.1-v20150805-0538"
as [2, 11, 1, v, 20160805, 0538] and I have only vague guesses
what this could mean semantically.
If by chance you are using the cbi aggregator (formerly
b3 aggregator), you could actually set a newly introduced
property "Version Format=Maven Release" [1].
From my p.o.v. this would be preferable, make artifacts
more maven-like. OTOH, I checked that no artifacts from
the Eclipse Project strictly require "2.12.0" (Neon.2).
Ergo: I believe it would be more consistent if we all use
3-part release versions for maven artifacts, but my current
effort doesn't seem to depend on any change in EMF.
thanks,
Stephan
