Improve staging support
-----------------------
Key: MRELEASE-391
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-391
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8
Reporter: Arnaud Heritier
By default the plugin with release:prepare and release:perform deploys
project's artifacts and website in the final location.
release:prepare and release:stage mojos deploys them in a staging environment
to validate the before the submission in the final environment.
The problem is that we have nothing in the release plugin to move artifacts
(and website) from the staging environment to the final one.
For that part we have the stage plugin, which has several limitations. We
cannot select which groupId/artifactId/version to copy (the entire repository
is copied) and even if we could define them this plugin cannot know which
artifacts were deploy in the release:stage mojo.
I propose to add a mojo (release:record-artifacts) called by release:stage to
record all artifacts deployed. We could append it in goals called by the mojo
in the forked maven launch. The mojo will create a file (properties or xml)
where it stores all artifacts attached in the project and deployed in the
staging environment. At the end of the release:stage mojo, this file will be
deployed to the staging repository within the reactor
groupId/artifactId/version used to release the project (or we can store it only
locally like the release:properties file, but it could be useful to allow
someone else than the one who staged deliveries to publish in the final
repository).
We add another mojo (release:publish) which downloads the list of artifacts.
After parsing it it download all artifacts and deploy them in the final
repository (merging metadata if necessary).
