mvn release:perform without source ending up in artifactory

Question

Hello

What is the proper way to do mvn release:perform so that source code does not end up in my artifactory?

All help appreciated. I know I have seen this documented somewhere

Thanks

Answer 1

You could (should) do a dry run to verify that everything is OK before doing the real release. This is done by setting the dryRun parameter to true.

mvn release:prepare -DdryRun=true

After doing this you should do a release clean:

mvn release:clean

Try setting the attach property of the maven-source-plugin to false, e.g:

     <pluginManagement>
         <plugins>
             <plugin>
                  <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
                  <configuration>
                      <attach>false</attach>
                  </configuration>
             </plugin>
         </plugins>
     </pluginManagement>

Disable the built in release profile and then define your own. Look at the maven parent pom for an example: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/pom/trunk/maven/pom.xml?annotate=759540

Look at line 630 for the release plugin config and then line 910 for the release profile we use.

Set the property useReleaseProfile to false in your Maven Release Plugin config:

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <useReleaseProfile>false</useReleaseProfile>
          ..
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

Answer 5

Agree with configuring plug-in setting useReleaseProfile.

From release:perform page

useReleaseProfile - Whether to use the release profile that adds sources and javadocs to the released artifact, if appropriate. Default value is: true.
