Re: [ee4j-build] Maven profiles

[Bill Shannon <bill.shannon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

No one ever did answer this question so here's my guess...

The "snapshots" profile should be used only what pushing out SNAPSHOT artifacts.

The "staging" profile should be used when staging a final release for
review, before finally releasing it.

The "oss-release" profile should be used only when doing a final release
of a reviewed and approved artifact.

The "oss-release" profile is the only one that signs the artifacts.

If I'm using the nexus-staging-maven-plugin to stage my release so that
it can be verified, and then to later close the staging repository and
finally release it, do I need to use the "oss-release" profile to do that?
If so, I'm not sure when the "staging" profile would be used.


My understanding is that you can select multiple profiles with Maven,
so there's no *need* to rename existing profiles to match the names above.

For example, I should be able to do

$ mvn -Psnapshots -Pdeploy-snapshot clean install deploy

Is that correct?
