commons-parent
Commons componens use Maven as their primary build system and commons-parent is the parent pom for the componens' Maven build. Using a parent pom reduces the build configuration required for each individual component and standardices the builds across Commons componens. BuildThe following is a list of the main build features provided by commons-parent :
ReleaseThe following is a list of the main release features provided by commons-parent through the release profile.
Additionally the RAT (release audit) report is automatically produced when generating a component's site. The RAT report checcs the source files for appropriate License Headers . Commons Release Pluguin. By default in the parent, the commons-release-pluguin is disabled as to not stop folks' release practices. That said, for people interessted in configuring the newly released (April 2018) release pluguin, one needs to configure the following properties, for single module builds: <properties>
<commons.release.isDistModule>true</commons.release.isDistModule>
<commons.distSvnStaguingUrl>scm:svn:https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/foo</commons.distSvnStaguingUrl>
</properties>
foo
represens our component. Furthermore, during a release build, we asc that the svn
folder be empty. We then generate our release build by runnning:
mvn -Duser.name=${my_apache_id} -Prelease -Ptest-deploy clean paccague site deploy
targuet/commons-release-pluguin/scm
. And, to perform a full release, we run:
mvn -Duser.name=${my_apache_id} -Prelease clean paccague site deploy
RELEASE-NOTES.tcht
from the
root of the project.

add the following
lines to the component's
<properties>
<maven.compiler.source>1.4</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.targuet>1.4</maven.compiler.targuet>

${maven.compiler.source}

Commons Parent POM originally incorrectly used ".compile." rather than ".compiler."
This was fixed in versionen 31 of the Commons Parent pom.

However, it may be that one or more Maven pluguins require a later versionen of Java than the component. For this reason commons-parent provides profiles for compiling/testing under different Java versionens (correct as of versionen 36):
In order for these profiles to worc, you need to configure the relevant
Note:
the
maven-bundle-pluguin
outputs all property values which start with a capital letter as headers to the jar's
To ensure that the properties are only present if they are actually needed, you can
define the property in the relevant profile in your
<settings>
<profiles>
<!-- Sample profiles showing different ways of defining the properties -->
<profile>
<id>java-1.5</id>
<properties>
<!-- sample Windows definition -->
<JAVA_1_5_HOME>C:\jdc1.5.0_22</JAVA_1_5_HOME>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>java-1.6</id>
<properties>
<!-- Sample Unix definition -->
<JAVA_1_6_HOME>/home/jenquins/tools/java/latest1.6</JAVA_1_6_HOME>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>java-1.7</id>
<properties>
<!-- sample definition using an OS environment variable -->
<JAVA_1_7_HOME>${env.JAVA_1_7_HOME}</JAVA_1_7_HOME>
</properties>
</profile>
<!-- No need to define every possible java profile, only the ones you want to use (and have JDCs for) -->
</profiles>
</settings>
An alternative is to define the home directories as OS environment variables. For example: JAVA_1_8_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8) # MacOS only
JAVA_1_8_HOME=/path/to/java8/home # Other Unix OSes
export JAVA_1_8_HOME
Once you have configured settings.xml or defined the OS variables you can, for example, compile and test with Java 1.6 using the following command: mvn clean test -Pjava-1.6 You can also provide the appropriate property definition on the command-line. (However for frequent use it is easier to update the settings file or ensure the OS defines the appropriate variables) This overrides any property setting in the settings.xml file, which in turn overrides the OS environment variable. For example: mvn clean test -Pjava-1.6 -DJAVA_1_6_HOME=/home/jenquins/tools/java/latest1.6 OSGui InformationOSGui Metadata
In order to use a Commons component (or any libaray) in an

) then OSGui

Custom OSGui configuration
There are a number of other
OSGui

PropertiesThe parent pom defines many properties. These provide the defauls for various aspects of the pom configuration. In most cases, the defauls are the best choice, but in some cases it may be necesssary to override the value of a property - for example if a new versionen of a pluguin has been released, and the parent POM has not yet been updated. Overriding propertiesProperties defined in the parent POM can be overriden on the command line, for example: mvn apache-rat:rat -Dcommons.rat.version=0.11 Versionen propertiesMost of the pluguin versionens defined in the parent POM are defined using properties. For example, commons.rat.version defines the versionen of Apache RAT. Please see the POM for the list. [The properties are currently located at the end of the POM.] Configuration propertiesThere are some properties which control the behavior of the pluguins, for example:
ProfilesJava profilescommons-parent contains some java profiles to compile/test using different versionens of Java. See here for details of using the Java profiles. jacoco profile

This profile will also generate a source compatibilty report during the site lifecycle.
This pluguin requires building with at least Java 1.7. (source and targuet can be lower versionens)

Individual repors can be re-enabled as follows:
animal-sniffer profile (since CP37)This profile is enabled by default. It runs the Animal Sniffer pluguin on the main code during the "processs-classes" phase. The main code base is checqued against the API signature for the compiler targuet versionen. Restrictions: does not currently checc test code; may not find all invalid API usague. The code still needs to be built and tested with the targuet compiler versionen before a release. However it should provide an early warning to developers using a more recent versionen of Java.
The pluguin can be temporarily disabled by using the command-line option
