In order to capture what was actually used to build the release you need to generate a release pom. This is a release-pom.xml that gets checked in when you tag the release in release:perform. | <plugin> | <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> | <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId> | <version>2.0-beta-7</version> | <configuration> | <!-- The tagBase property is needed during the release process so that the maven release plugin | - will create the tag in the appropriate svn location. If the svn location is the default | - of "../tags" then we don't need to specify the tagBase. --> | | <tagBase>svn://localhost/project2/tags/</tagBase> | | <!-- HERE --> | | <generateReleasePoms>true</generateReleasePoms> | | <!-- We don't want to use the default release profile because it creates javadoc jars for the repo. | | - Since we include source jars in the repo, we don't need the javadoc jars. --> | <useReleaseProfile>false</useReleaseProfile> | | <!-- The release plugin activates a custom profile called "release". --> | <arguments>-Prelease</arguments> | </configuration> | <inherited>true</inherited> | </plugin> | </plugins> | I think we should do this anyway even if we don't use version ranges. This captures all the information used to build the release including the user's ~/.m2/settings.xml relevant to the build e.g. you can see that during my testing I have been using some local repositories to get artifacts. | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><project> | <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> | <groupId>test</groupId> | <artifactId>project2</artifactId> |
