copied!<p>I've updated my problem description to mention my preference for declaring non-snapshot dependencies in my poms (at least for the release versions), in order to get consistent results (across my laptop, the hudson server, and other people's checkouts) - I really want other people to be able to check out my code and get going with zero mucking about looking for unknowable snapshot dependencies.</p> <p>It was wanting to use non-snapshot versions in my dependencies that led to this question- Hudson's normal behaviour didn't make using 'release' versions easy, at least without waiting for the release version of the dependency to cycle thru to maven central.</p> <p>However, I've decided that if I want to be true to my underlying requirement - that people can easily checkout and build my code - then that is what I have to do: i.e. wait for maven central to sync up.</p> <p>I only want to hold myself to this for release builds (otherwise I'd never get anything <em>done</em>!), and so will happily develop using snapshot deps - up until the point where I actually <strong>do</strong> want to make a version release, at which point I want all the deps to be properly available in maven central.</p> <p>I wasn't aware of any way to enforce this until recently, but a bit more googling found me the 'enforcer' plugin:</p> <p><a href="http://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/requireReleaseDeps.html" rel="nofollow">http://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/requireReleaseDeps.html</a></p> <p>-with the 'onlyWhenRelease' flag set to true, it looks like it should perfectly enforce what I want to do.</p> <p>In answer to my original headline question then ('How can I make Hudson automatically build & install release artifacts, rather than just snapshots?'), my answer is:</p> <ol> <li>There appears to be no completely trivial way of making Hudson do this (without the side-effect of Hudson also attempting to do a 'release' with every checkin it detects, which can require additional 'profile' configuration to stop the actual normal actions of a release, eg GPG signing)</li> <li>Don't do that.</li> </ol>
