[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - maven-metadata.xml and 'mvn release:perform'

While doing a jboss-common-core release, the following maven-metadata.xml was updated:https://svn.jboss.org/repos/repository.jboss.org/maven2/org/jboss... a) I can see version 2.2.3.GA missing. Given this one was used by other components, I conclude the maven-metadata.xml is not always necessary? b) Anyone knows if ordering is important? c) What's the meaning of v2.0.5.GA as it is recorded below? After a quick search, I didn't much about the maven-metadata schema. | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> | <metadata> | <groupId>org.jboss</groupId> | <artifactId>jboss-common-core</artifactId> | <version>2.0.5.GA</version> | <versioning> | <release>2.2.4.GA</release> | <versions> | <version>2.0.5.GA</version> | <version>2.2.2.GA</version> | <version>2.2.1.GA</version> | <version>2.2.4.GA</version> | </versions> | <lastUpdated>20080328111223</lastUpdated> | </versioning> | </metadata> | Another problem I noticed is the moment you are doing the 'mvn release:perform' you need to have checked all the versions of a component, in-order to get access to the maven-metadata.xml, so the new version is correctly added. That means a lot of garbage in your local filesystem, just to do a simple release. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4140104#...
