Hello, I plan to release commons-parent, therefore I checked the plugin versions.
Here are the plugins which allow updates, the release notes, my analysis and decisions (r1698139): maven-compiler-plugin .................................... 3.2 -> 3.3 https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/201503.mbox/%3c20150327182100.6fa0c17...@minotaur.apache.org%3E Besides a sane 2.2.1 minimum version for Maven, it does not document any severe changes. It can also be overwritten by commons.compiler.version property. Tested, Bump to 3.3 maven-enforcer-plugin .................................. 1.3.1 -> 1.4 http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/201501.mbox/%3c20150129201332.d2a1517...@minotaur.apache.org%3E Bumps Maven minimum to 2.2.1, introduces a few new dependency versions but it seems to be sane. Is defined in apache parent (old and new), should we overwrite it? Update not tested, not changed. maven-jar-plugin ......................................... 2.5 -> 2.6 http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/201503.mbox/%3c20150310103739.55bad17...@minotaur.apache.org%3E Bumps some dependencies (especially plexus-archiver 2.9). Has no property to overwrite. Tested, Bump to 2.6 maven-javadoc-plugin ...................... 2.10.2 -> 2.10.3 http://blog.soebes.de/blog/2015/04/15/apache-maven-javadoc-plugin-version-2-dot-10-dot-3-released/ Minor update. Configured with property commons.javadoc.version. Tested, Bump to 2.10.3 maven-release-plugin ................................. 2.5.1 -> 2.5.2 http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/201504.mbox/%3Cop.xxihwzptkdkhrr@robertscholte%3E Updates some dependency. Not specifically tested, Bump to 2.5.2 org.codehaus.mojo:build-helper-maven-plugin ............ 1.8 -> 1.9.1 http://blog.soebes.de/blog/2014/09/06/mojo-build-helper-maven-plugin-version-1-dot-9-1-released/ http://blog.soebes.de/blog/2014/06/10/mojo-build-helper-maven-plugin-version-1-dot-9-released/ Mostly Bugfixes. Could affect the version parsing. Tested, Bump to 1.9.1 When running display-plugin-updates this leaves me with two pending updates, one is a false positive (animal-sniffer is updated by profile when java7 is used, not sure why versions plugin does not see that) and the enforcer, which I would only update when ASF parent does it. If not mentioned otherwise I made the change, deployed the parent, used it to build commons-vfs trunk with the following commands: JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_1_8_HOME% mvn clean verify -Pjava-1.8 -Dmaven.compiler.target=1.7 NB: Animal Sniffer does not yet offer 1.8 signatures JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_1_7_HOME% mvn clean verify -Pjava-1.7 -Dmaven.compiler.target=1.7 JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_1_6_HOME% mvn clean site -Pinclude-sandbox * jira ssl problems JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_1_8_HOME% mvn clean site -Pinclude-sandbox I haven't considered updating the apache parent, we can do that later, it would introduce: org.apache:apache .... 16 -> 17 - bumps default compile target 1.4 -> 1.5 - compiler version 3.1 -> 3.2 (old) - adds project-info-report plugin, - bumps failsave 2.17 -> 2.18.1 - maven resource plugin 2.6 -> 2.7 - maven-scm-publish 1.0-beta-2 -> 1.1 - maven-source-plugin 2.3 -> 2.4 - adds maven-surefore-report - add maven war plugin 2.5 - add maven-site-plugin attach descriptor - jar -> jar-no-fork - apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5 - removes maven-3 profile Greetings Bernd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
