You can use the Maven Release plug-in to package and release your Developer Studio projects. As a practice, at the development stage of the project, it is the SNAPSHOT version of the artifacts that is used. This is similar to the next major/minor version to be released. For example, if the next planned release version is 1.1.0, it is 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT that is used for versioning in the development stage.

Follow the steps below to deploy WSO2 artifacts to a nexus repository:

Warning
Make sure you are using WSO2 Developer Studio 3.7.1 or upwards.

In the pom.xml file, configure the SCM configuration. For example,

Code Block

language	xml

 <scm>
    <connection>scm:svn:https://svn.wso2.com/wso2/interns/2013/vijithae/release/trunk</connection>
    <developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.wso2.com/wso2/interns/2013/vijithae/release/trunk</developerConnection>
    <url>https://svn.wso2.com/wso2/interns/2013/vijithae/release/trunk</url>
  </scm>

Point to the nexus repository of the project. For example,

Code Block

language	xml

<distributionManagement>
       <repository>
           <id>deployment</id>
           <name>Internal Releases</name>
           <url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/</url>
       </repository>
       <snapshotRepository>
           <id>deployment</id>
           <name>Internal Snapshot Releases</name>
           <url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
       </snapshotRepository>
   </distributionManagement>

Configure with the wso2-release-helper-plugin and tag base. For example,

Code Block

language	xml

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5</version>
    <configuration>
	 <preparationGoals>               
          org.wso2.maven:wso2-release-helper-plugin:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT:prepare-release
       </preparationGoals>
       <completionGoals>
          org.wso2.maven:wso2-release-helper-plugin:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT:prepare-snapshots
       </completionGoals>
<tagBase>https://svn.wso2.com/wso2/interns/2013/vijithae/release/tags</tagBase>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Info
Note that the `wso2-release-pre-prepare-plugin` is now deprecated since the plug-in only supported svn and provided no support for rollbacks, dryRun mode etc.

Execute the mvn release:prepare command inside the Maven Multi Module project. Give appropriate values for release, development, and tag versions when prompted.
Execute the mvn release:perform command inside the Maven Multi Module project.

For complete information on the Maven Release plug-in, see the Maven Release Plugin page on the Apache website. For complete information on the WSO2 Release Helper plug-in, see Using WSO2 Release Helper Plug-In.
