This document explains how to cut a new empire-db release. Since we normally do this in Linux I expect you to have a Linux enironment at hand. For windows users Cygwin might be a solution. This document is based on the Maven release documentation.
Before you get started
Setup
Make sure your system is set up correctly and that you have the needed credentials
...
- you have created your GPG keys. For more information, please refer to Making GPG Keys.
- you have a GPG client installed and on your shell's path. See http://www.gnupg.org/.
- you have a Subversion 1.5+ client installed and on your shell's path. See http://subversion.tigris.org/.
- you have a Java 1.4.2 JDK installed and on your shell's path. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html.
- you have set the environment variable MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m
- you are using Maven 2.0.x or 2.2.1+, as Maven 2.1.x is known to produce wrong gpg pom signatures (see MGPG-14).
h3 Make sure maven uses Java 5
Create a mvn5 shell script and add it to your PATH. This script makes sure you use Java 5 to build the release.
