使用jgitver在Maven版本中提交时间戳

Question

I'm evaluating the jgitver Maven extension for calculating artefact versions from git metadata.

jgitver provides the commit datetime in a property called jgitver.head_commit_datetime , but I can't figure out how to include the timestamp in the version string.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Thanks to maven lazy evaluation, you can provide them into the build using the versions plugin, something like:

mvn jgitver versions:set -DnewVersion=1.0.\${jgitver.head_commit_datetime} versions.commit

Try that and let me know.

It basically pass the property onto the versions:set plugin, and this will rewrite all pom files to the given new version.

Answer 2

@otto.poellath, you can use the configuration property useGitCommitTimestamp and set it to true ; it is only available in the non maven mode of jgitver as it is a bit clashing with strict maven SNAPSHOTs.

So if you have your .mvn/jgitver.config.xml config file that contains something like the following it will work:

<mavenLike>false</mavenLike>
<useGitCommitTimestamp>true</useGitCommitTimestamp>

Here is an output of a local mvn validate on jgitver-maven-plugin itself using such a configuration
