mavendeployplugin

Maven plugin for deployment of Tomcat web application

How to create new version of plugin

1. Let's say git repository is cloned into local folder C:\cc-deploy-maven-plugin.
2. Clone repository to separate folder, e.g. C:\mvn-repo.
3. Switch to mvn-repo branch in that folder.
4. Go back to folder C:\cc-deploy-maven-plugin
5. First, change the version mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.29 versions:commit
6. Then, if no new modules were added run mvn clean install -DmvnRepo=C:\\mvn-repo (here and lower: \ is escaped for Cygwin).
7. If a new module was added, then do this:
   1. Run mvn clean install -DmvnRepoNewModule=C:\\mvn-repo.
   2. Revert changed files in mvn-repo folder. Don't revert (i.e. delete) new ones.
   3. Rename maven-metadata-local* to mavent-metadata*.
   4. Run the same line as for the case when no new modules were added.
8. Go to folder C:\mvn-repo.
9. Add new files to commit, then commit and push mvn-repo branch to server.
