Maven parent POM for eXist Apps

This repository just contains the Maven parent artifact for eXist Apps.

It just contains a number of constant properties alongside fixed dependency and plugin versions.

Use

If you wish to use this as a base for your eXist EXPath App, then you can add the following to your pom.xml:

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.exist-db</groupId>
        <artifactId>exist-apps-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.12.0</version>
        <relativePath/>
    </parent>

If you are just starting out with creating an eXist EXPath App, then you may be interested to use exist-apps-archetype which will create a skeleton app for your.

Install

If you wish to install this locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/exist-db/exist-apps-parent.git
$ cd exist-apps-parent
$ mvn clean install

Release

Requirements: An install of GnuPG and a valid key for signing the release artifacts.

If you modify this POM and need to release a new version, make sure you have committed your changes and then run:

$ mvn release:prepare
$ mvn release:perform
$ git push

You can then visit http://oss.sonatype.org/ and login, to then publish the artifacts to Maven Central.
