POM updater tool? what does it do?

I use Shade a lot as well, other times the appassembler plugin which generates shell/bath files and keeps the jars in a

repo

folder.

Updates parent and child poms to the same version. I use this everyday for release management on multi module Maven projects. Here's the homepage https://www.bekwam.com/mpu/

Nice, Carl!

oh, usefull

@carlw Did you consider using the maven plugin support for reading the meta data btw?

@edvin ...Nah, this is really simple. Parses the XML after recursively looking for stuff. It fits with the way I set up my multi module projects

i also looked at a release plugin from time to time

@carlw I like this approach, much simpler. I contemplated using the existing support, but found it to be overkill as well. And overly complex 🙂

Watching the video now 🙂

@edvin I use this with SmartGit...sometimes also Git Flow...It's just a simple search-and-replace but lets you review the work before you update everything

apparently maven supports this too: https://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/examples/update-versions.html

that's the release plugin i mentioned...didn't quite work for what I was trying to do

ah, ok

which was to integrate with Git Flow

Git Flow handles a lot with the tagging, etc

Right. Moving more of my projects to git now as well. Subversion is getting long in the tooth.

Gotta get to bed early today, we're launching a new product tomorrow and rolling out a lot of code I wish I had time to test better 🙂

Good luck 🙂

Looks interesting

Thanks 🙂

My next goal now is two screencasts. One about the new table editing stuff and one about the handy padding properties we've added and how to animate them (and why you'd want to).

@edvin that is great, but what I really miss for tfx is an API reference. brb, putting kids to bed

@permalmberg I'd like to work on that. Actually, I think we need to provide KDocs for everything (Javadocs for Kotlin). That would tie it nicely together. Maybe I should start working on that soon, and publish the Javadocs.

@edvin that'd be awesome to have

It would also be a great help from within the IDE when you're coding. I think it has to be done. There was no need in the beginning, but this thing is growing by the minute 🙂

I'd love to accept pull requests for javadocs!

Gah. Why doesn't a Maven build abort on compile errors?

it should. you're calling your parent pom? It should bail out and skip modules if the failure was earlier in the build
