作为maven版本的一部分运行自定义插件，但在版本更新到下一个快照之前

Question

I have written a Maven plugin which will call a web service with details about my project including the version number. I only want to run this when my project is released, not on the deployment of snapshots.

I have a Jenkins job that manages the build/deploy/release process. If I modify the Release Goals and Options from

-Dresume=false release:prepare release:perform --debug to

-Dresume=false release:prepare release:perform my-plugin:dostuff --debug

Will that achieve what I want? Or will the release:perform to the build and deployment of my release version and then update the POM to the next snapshot version before my plugin runs?

If so is there a way to achieve what I want which is, on running the Jenkins job to perform the release of 1.0, have the release plugin update the POM to 1.0, build it and deploy it then run my plugin to call the web service before having the release plugin update the version to 1.1-SNAPSHOT.

Thanks, Paul

You can add your plugin to the POM, configuring it to run in an appropriate phase of the standard lifecycle. Additionally, you can program your plugin to only perform the action when a release is happening, ie by checking whether the version of the project ends with -SNAPSHOT .
