It’s a long time I was looking for an efficient and automated way of using the Maven Release plug-in in parallel of a Continuous Integration (CI) process.

First of all, that is only recently that some blocking issues in this plug-in were solved. See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-427 for more information. Don’t forget to use 2.0-beta-9 and not the SNAPSHOT version!

Then, for a multi-module project as Doolin, one can use:

mvn clean install release:prepare release:perform -DautoVersionSubmodules=true

However, I see a major drawback in such a mechanism because I’ve seen no way to perform a release from a specific SVN revision. Indeed, the CI process goal is finally to stamp some SVN revisions as being eligible for a release.

What I’m looking for is this kind of process:

1. Developers commit on the trunk
2. CI process runs on a regular basis
3. We select a SVN revision which has been validated by a CI build
4. We create a release from this SVN revision

This raises another issue:

1. The trunk will have to be updated in order to reflect the version change (in the pom.xml files)
2. Changes could have been made on the trunk during this whole process.

Therefore, what I’m really looking for is a kind of atomic release process.

I’ve found an excellent article about Regex in Java.

Here is the list of configuration elements I use for developing:

• JDK6.0
• Eclipse 3.4 for J2E (Ganymede)
• M2Eclipse - Maven plug-in for Eclipse at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/
• Subversion plug-in at http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x

The 0.7.0 release of the Doolin framework has been released.

It is a major refactoring of the Doolin architecture:

• Tight integration with Spring and XML custom schemas
• Use of a bus instead of property listeners for model/gui binding

It can be downloaded from here.

Next version, 0.8.0, will focus on:

• Documentation
• Missing features: trees, date fields…

Few useful posts on the subject, using HttpClient 4.0 (alpha):

I’m going on testing everything and I will put some updates right here.
