Please review the maven release process here:
Publishing Maven Releases to Maven Central Repository - Apache Infrastructure
https://infra.apache.org/publishing-maven-artifacts.html
The following versions of JDK and Maven should be used:
JDK: Java Version 1.8.0_202
Maven: Apache Maven 3.3.9 or later
Currently we probably can only release using JDK 7 as there are certificate issues contacting the repository using JDK 6 (and JDK6 is not supported any more). So apply everything with jdk7 instead
Download the latest JDK 6 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html
Create a mvn6 shell script and add it to your PATH. This script makes sure you use Java 6 to build the release.
Use /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/xxx/Contents/Home as JAVA_HOME for mac
/usr/bin/mvn6
Code Block |
---|
#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun"
mvn $@

test the script by running this command:

>cd target/checkout/empire-db-dist (we want to have the same artifacts in the dist as in the repo) >./checksums.sh ... All Done. Files available as in ./target |
OR (if the previous failed/is not possible any more)
this might not work, not tested, probably creates new artifacts instead of using existing ones
