Creating a release
Maven terms a release build an "assembly". An assembly aggregates the builds of all the modules installed locally on your machine into one or more release files.
To create a release, you must first build and install locally every artifact. From the root struts2 directory, run:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
mvn -Pextras,apps install
|
Next, you need to run the assembly build to create the release files. From the struts2/assembly directory, run:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
mvn assembly:assembly
|
If the assembly built correctly, you should see the release files in the target/assembly/out directory.
