How to do a release build for mylyn.docs with maven?

[parasharjoshi]

How to do a release build (on main or for a releases like 4.6.0) as the default build generates artifacts with qualifier (snapshot)?

I tried
mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:set-version -DnewVersion="4.6.0"
from repo root, followed by
mvn clean install -B -Dmaven.test.skip -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true -Dmaven.test.error.ignore=true -Ddash.fail=false -Dbuild.type=release

But that messes up the poms/manifests and build fails with some references still pointing to 4.6.0-snapshot.
Took some parameters from the jenkins file but does not seem to affect the release build and still generates snapshots.

So wanted to know what is the right way to go with a release build with maven.

Thank you in advance.

I think the problem is that we use a manifest first approach for mylyn and a pom first approach for mylyn docs.

For mylyn we do never remove the -snapshot so that a release always has a -datetime suffix and the pom dependency has to use that -datetime suffix to.

Thank you @BeckerFrank.
You are right about the suffix of -datetime.
So how can I get a build without -snapshot but with -datetime suffix.

And should the build be done from root of repo or from mylyn.docs directory?

Hi @BeckerFrank, Any suggestions on the above questions please? Thanks.

Hi,

Based on the suggestions above, I tried the build with -Dtycho.buildqualifier.format=yyyyMMddHHmm from mylyn root but that fails too on Mylyn Docs.

mvn clean install -B -Dtycho.buildqualifier.format=yyyyMMddHHmm -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dskip.surefire.tests=true -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true -Dmaven.test.error.ignore=true -Ddash.fail=false -Dbuild.type=release

Please advise on what is the right process to build mylyn.docs for generating release artifacts with maven.

Thanks.

If you change /mylyn.docs-aggregator/docs/pom.xml and remove the section the build did no longer fail but from the note
<!-- FIXME: seems to be needed for maven publishing -->
I think we need some changes to get publishing work again because I can not find any version 4.x.y artifacts under https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/eclipse/mylyn/
