Maven deploy Release Note as artifact

0 votes

Requirement: Upload (deploy) an additional file (a text format release note file) along with jar/war to nexus.

Possible Solution: Use maven deploy plugin as below:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>deploy</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>deploy-file</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <packaging>RELEASENOTE.MD</packaging>
                        <generatePom>false</generatePom>
                        <url>${project.distributionManagement.repository.url}</url>
                        <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
                        <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
                        <version>${project.version}</version>
                        <file>RELEASENOTE.MD</file>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

Problems:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.4:deploy-file (default) on project ...\RELEASENOTE.MD not found.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.4:deploy-file (default) on project ...*RELEASENOTE.MD not found.

How do I solve these two problems?

Using both @SpaceTrucker and @khmarbaise, came up with the following solution:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>add-release-note</id>
        <activation>
            <file><exists>RELEASENOTE.MD</exists></file>
        </activation>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                    <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>3.0.0</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <id>attach-artifacts</id>
                            <phase>package</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>attach-artifact</goal>
                            </goals>
                            <configuration>
                                <artifacts>
                                    <artifact>
                                        <file>RELEASENOTE.MD</file>
                                        <type>MD</type>
                                        <classifier>RELEASENOTE</classifier>
                                    </artifact>
                                </artifacts>
                            </configuration>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>
</profiles>

Edit

  • maven-deploy-plugin within profile activation works too. However, it poses a difficulty for release/snapshot build parameterization due to its <url> tag. build-helper-maven-plugin is a simpler solution

  • Filename regex can be handled through a wrapper shell build script

I hope that above information would be helpful to you.
