A parent pom allows various defaults to be specified so that each individual project does not repeat itself. This pom is the base of the AddThis open source pom hierarchy.
While it is hoped that this is useful for projects hosted at http://github.com/addthis and an illustrative general example, it is not intended to be a totally generic open source project pom.
To inherit from this in your project just specify it at the top of the
pom.xml
:
<parent>
<groupId>com.addthis.common.build.maven.pom</groupId>
<artifactId>papa-pom</artifactId>
<version> ... current pom release version ...</version>
</parent>
If you want to deploy to remote repositories such as
Sonatype OSS
or one internal to your organization you will need to customize
settings.xml
. That includes the at.repo.*
properties and any
necessary credentials.
It's x.y.z where:
- x: something major happened
- y: next release
- z: bug fix only
