Build and Deployment Steps

Prerequisites

For building locally

Maven and Java

For deploying and releasing

• Write-access credentials to the org.ozoneplatform group on the Central Repository (managed by sonatype). To obtain this, sign up for an account on their JIRA, and then have someone else with write-access put in a ticket to get you added.
• Git installed locally
• GPG installed locally
• A GPG key posted to a public keyserver

Building

Run mvn clean install, just like any other maven project

Deploying (Snapshots)

Run mvn clean deploy. This will deploy the current version to the Central Repository. If the current version is a snapshot, this is a straightforward one-step process.

Releasing

1. Ensure that you have no local changes or un-pushed commits
2. run mvn release:prepare. You may want to read up on the maven-release-plugin to see what this does. WARNING: This pushes changes to git to do not run it unless you are sure you are ready.
3. run mvn release:perform This will build and deploy the release version of the code to the Central Repository. It will not be immediately available to others but will instead go into a "staging" repo
4. Close and release the staging repo as explained here
5. If not done automatically, push the new commits made by the release plugin
