Releasemanagement

All releases of components and applications from this project are build with the configuration and build framework Maven.

During development we work with snapshot staging concept from maven like in the Imixs Workflow main project. There for we use the mvn release command to release a new version.

mvn release:prepare 

The current development release is located in the master branch. If a version is stable or used in a productive environment we create a release from the latest development version. A new release will be tagged in the code repository. For details about the maven release process see imixs releasmanagement

Note: A new release may not contain any snapshot dependencies from imixs-workflow components! Patches of an already release version are managed in a release branch with the major and minor version number.

#Create a release manually To create a new release follow these steps:

1. Switch into the master branch
2. Verify that your current development sources are up to date
3. Remove existing snapshot dependencies.
4. Run tests on the master branch. Run all the tests. If one or more fail, fix them first.
5. Release the current snaptshot release (see below)

maven command:

mvn clean
mvn release:prepare

Finally remove the maven release prepare and backup pom files and push the udpated pom.xml to GitHub

##Deploy Artifacts on GitHub The GitHub repo 'imixs-mvn-repo' provides a maven repository holding the releases for the marty project. To deploy martry into the GitHub repo switch to the latest tag version and call the maven command:

mvn clean deploy
