Hi, So I did an ORM release for the first time today. All in all, the process is very clear and precise, thanks for taking the time to document it and scripting it. Here are the issues I had. Thought you should be aware of the changes I made (I haven't fixed issue 2/ as I'm not sure it's legit). == 1/ Bintray Gradle plugin issue I had a few issues with Bintray though. The first run failed with: https://api.bintray.com/content/hibernate/artifacts/hibernate-orm/5.3.2.F...: org/hibernate/value: hibernate-agroal/value: 5.3.2.Final/value: hibernate-agroal-value: 5.3.2.Final.pom': HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request [message:Unable to upload files: Maven group, artifact or version defined in the pom file do not match the file path 'value: org/hibernate/value: hibernate-agroal/value: 5.3.2.Final/value: hibernate-agroal-value: 5.3.2.Final.pom'] I found https://github.com/bintray/gradle-bintray-plugin/issues/88 advising to update the Bintray Gradle plugin so that's what I did. It fixed the issue but apparently, the first attemps uploaded a weird artifact named "value: org/hibernate/value: hibernate-agroal/value: 5.3.2.Final/value: hibernate-agroal-value: 5.3.2.Final.pom". Sanne removed it. == 2/ Tests running As the first attempt was messy, I ran the second attempt with: ./gradlew clean release It did the following: - build the artifacts - push them to Bintray - run the tests This is weird IMHO. Running the tests before pushing to Bintray could be understandable but I find it weird they are run after the push. Not very familiar with the build so just reporting it in case it would be considered an issue. == 3/ Super huge SourceForge archives The archives on SourceForge were 350MB+ (thanks to Andrea for noticing it): apparently, when working with Eclipse, some files end up in **/bin/ folders. While it's present in the .gitignore, it wasn't present in the exclusions of the distribution. I added them. I also had a ./build folder containing old WildFly releases. As it's added to the .gitignore, I also excluded it from the build. -- Guillaume
