When we build one of our common packages, we can pull that specific version in via maven dependency resolution and retrieve the artifact right out of the artifact repository. In addition, since we have a multi-module structure, we store our own build artifacts in Artifactory as well. We use Artifactory Pro as our artifact repository. LAN retrieval is almost always going to be faster than downloading even from the quickest of CDNs. One solution to make this a bit less painful is to use an artifact repository on your local network for acting as a local cache for those external dependencies.
Those artifacts are stored locally so that subsequent builds can be performed more quickly. See, our big concern in all of these workflows was how we were going to ensure that our project versions and inter-project dependencies were properly managed.Įach time Maven dependencies are retrieved for a build, it will, by default, pull those down from Ye Olde Internet(e)TM. This is always going to represent the latest pre-release cut of a project. Anyway, the -SNAPSHOT part is really important to understand.
You're not tied to three digits - you can define this when you start a project, but we use three.
Your build process needs to be able to support incrementing your minor version up after the fact so that subsequent work on your next effort will produce builds like 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT. When you release, -SNAPSHOT is removed and your version is 1.0.0. Maven Build Numbering Maven produces 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT builds until you release. Maven dependencies were about to prove themselves to be our biggest problem in all of this. Then, in a project structure mirroring our own (but with no code in it - just a pom.xml), tried every workflow.
They threw together a hit list of developer workflows in Confluence, all based on what we had been doing as a team and all of the weird things they thought we might have to do in the future. Now what? Let's test it all out! My team is great. So we're moving to Git and we like git-flow.
