Making a Release of a Gerrit Subproject / Core Plugin

Preparing a New Snapshot for Publishing

You will need to have the following in the pom.xml to make it deployable to the gerrit-maven storage bucket:

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>gerrit-maven</id>
      <name>gerrit Maven Repository</name>
      <url>s3://gerrit-maven@commondatastorage.googleapis.com</url>
      <uniqueVersion>true</uniqueVersion>
    </repository>
  </distributionManagement>

Add this to the pom.xml to enable the wagon provider:

  <build>
    <extensions>
      <extension>
        <groupId>net.anzix.aws</groupId>
        <artifactId>s3-maven-wagon</artifactId>
        <version>3.2</version>
      </extension>
    </extensions>
  </build>

Add your username and password to your ~/.m2/settings.xml file. These need to come from the API Console.

  <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
    <servers>
      <server>
        <id>gerrit-maven</id>
        <username>GOOG..EXAMPLE.....EXAMPLE</username>
        <password>EXAMPLE..EXAMPLE..EXAMPLE</password>
      </server>
    </servers>
  </settings>

Making a Snapshot

Only for plugins: in the pom.xml update the Gerrit version under properties > Gerrit-ApiVersion to the version of the new Gerrit release
First build and deploy the latest snapshot and ensure that Gerrit builds/runs with this snapshot
Deploy the snapshot:

mvn deploy

Making a Release

First deploy (and test) the latest snapshot for the subproject/plugin
Update the top level pom.xml in the subproject/plugin to reflect the new project version (the exact value of the tag you will create below)
Commit the pom change and push to the project’s repo refs/for/<master/stable>
Tag the version you just pushed (and push the tag)

git tag -a -m "prolog-cafe 1.3" v1.3
git push gerrit-review refs/tags/v1.3:refs/tags/v1.3

Deploy the new release:

mvn deploy
