Introduction

This plugin aims to automate the generation of semantic version numbers for your maven project.

Usage

• Add the pluginto your pom.xml

<plugin>
        <groupId>com.nimworks</groupId>
        <artifactId>buildversion-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>buildversions</id>
            <phase>validate</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>generate</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

• Do something with the generate version number For example

<groupId>com.nimworks.it</groupId>
  <artifactId>simple-it</artifactId>
  <version>${buildVersion}-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <description>A simple IT</description>

Builds are currently separated into 3 types

• Major
• Minor
• Patch

The generated version takes the form {Major}.{Minor}.{Pathc}

Example

• Build PATCH mvn clean package if this is the first run, it will generate app-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. Subsequent executions will only increment the patch version number (1.0.1, 1.0.2, etc). The example above is the same as running mvn clean package -Dbuild.type=PATCH

• Build Minor Version mvn clean package -Dbuild.type=MINOR if this is the first run, it will generate app-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. Subsequent executions will only increment the patch version number (1.2.0, 1.3.0, etc). Notice that this mode will reset the patch versions to 0
