release:stage does not properly compute new distroManagement.site.URL or
project.URLs for projects
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-395
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-395
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8
Reporter: John Allen
Priority: Blocker
In the case where you have a multi-module project and each module has its own
distributionManagement.site.url which is common with projects that like their
sites to be version numbered (see example beolw) the release:stage plugin fails
to get the project's site properly deployed. From a brief look it seems
release:sxtage is only computing a new URL for the owning project and not all
the child projects. What's more it looks like its changing the site deployment
URL and not the project's corresponding project URL. This results in the site
deployment for children going to their original pom.xml specific locations
regardless of them being 'staged' (i.e. they're not staged, they've just gone
live!). Nearly as bad is that all the relative links for connecting modules and
parents and banners together are broken too, as they are based upoin the
project.URL which hasnt been touched by the release:stage mojo. site:stage
makes a better fist of this, basically you need to remap the entire URL domain
(site distro and project url) to be under some other parent space for you to
successfully stage sites (see site:stage)
This kind of mistake has come up in the past, simply put a project can define
all its own settings for everything so anything that makes assumptions based on
inheritence or 'defaults' is just gonna break the system.
Example of how sub-project's defining their own site deployemtn and project URL
information:
{noformat}
<site>
<url>dav:https://example.com/maven/sites/${mvn.repoName}/${project.groupId}/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}</url>
</site>
<url>http://example.com/maven/sites/${mvn.repoName}/${project.groupId}/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}/</url>
{noformat}
