doing it [almost] the Maven way

After a bit of experimenting and a lot of help from Fabrizio, I came up with a [pre]release scheme that looks decent.

Three maven repositories for OpenWFE :

http://maven.openwfe.org/snapshots
http://maven.openwfe.org/prereleases
http://maven.openwfe.org/releases


The old
http://maven.openwfe.org/repo
is still available, but I plan to discontinue it in two or three months.

By using profiles (stored in profiles.xml not to overload the already fat top level pom.xml), I was able to get rid of the -1 trick. That’s a great relief, as the trick was ineffective when moving to a newer version : the old -1 pom was kept in the Maven2 cache and was still pointing to the previous version… argh…

I’m happy to have that orthodox http://maven.openwfe.org/ tree.

I’ll now get back to work and release an OpenWFE-1.7.2pre10 to populate the prereleases/ tree and to make our bean2jcr code available to Magnolia developers.

Maven2 is a great tool.
