Compiling
mvn compile

Running Unit Tests

mvn te"t compiles and runs unit tests

Packaging (jar, war)

mvn clean pac(age compiles, runs unit tests and pac ages the artifact *clean ma es sure there are no unwanted %les in the pac age+

Installing Arti act in !ocal Repositor"

mvn clean in"tall compiles, runs unit tests, pac ages and installs the artifact in the local repository i!e! ,userhome,&!m$&repository&

Installing Arti act in Remote Repositor"

mvn clean deploy compiles, runs unit tests, pac ages and installs the artifact in the remote repository!

Installing #r$Part" jar

mvn in"tall:in"tall- ile \ -D ile= oo.%ar \ -DgroupId=org. oo"o t \ -Darti actId= oo \ -Dver"ion=1.2.) \ -Dpac(aging=%ar

'ersioning
8eep the 9erision of your P:. artifact in the form version-#"3P#6:0 until you release! .avens release plugin then removes the -#"3P#6:0 sux!

Preparing Releases
.a e sure, the #C. settings in the P:. are correct and all changes are committed to the #C.! 0hen execute mvn -Du"ername=86@> -Dpa""$ord=AA66 relea"e:prepare /efore issuing the above command use it with -Ddry>un=true %rst "ote: 0his command will erase any -activation. tags in con%gured build pro%les in the pom.'ml

Per orming Releases

mvn -A proBle -Drelea"e:per orm Chec s out the released version from tag in repository, builds, tests, pac ages and installs pac age, javadoc and sources in repository! 3s preparing the release removes activation tags from build pro%les, it is necessary to supply the pro%le or the release will fail!
