Fluent Maven Deploy

Motivation & Benefits

• https://blog.philipphauer.de/version-numbers-continuous-delivery-maven-docker/
• Avoid manual maven releases
• (Avoid use of the Maven Realease Plugin)
• No ambiguous versions (read SNAPSHOT)
• No upstream/downstream/scheduled builds needed when no SNAPSHOT's are in use
• No scm tag needed in your pom.xml (you can checkout from the GIT sha)
• No changes/plugins needed in pom.xml -> Easily adaptable to old projects without code changes (just a properly formatted SEMVER version)

Prerequisite

• Maven project using GIT (And authorized to push code directly to master)
• GIT installed (deploy will fail if not installed)
• Maven installed (And properly configured to be allowed to perform a deploy. Deploy will fail if not installed)
• No SNAPSHOT dependencies in the project (deploy will fail with listing of all pom's containing SNAPSHOT dependencies)
• Version on SEMVER format (deploy will fail if it is a SNAPSHOT version/ some other versioning strategy)

Version format (w.x.y.z)

• w.x.y is on Semver format (https://semver.org/)
• z = GIT short sha (https://git-scm.com/book/id/v2/Git-Tools-Revision-Selection#_short_sha)

Triggering deploy

If the latest commit contains #patch, #minor or #major
