README - Common parent for Spring RTS related Maven projects

Intro

These files are used by different projects related to the Spring RTS game engine which are based on the Maven build system. This makes up mostly Java projects.

These files are useless by themselfs, and their main purpose is to unify and simplify Java based projects related to Spring RTS.

Projects that may use these files:

• SpringLS
• JUnitsync
• Java-AIInterface
• JavaOO-AIWrapper
• Java based Skirmish AIs

Use

Configure the Maven projects contained in this repo as the parent of your own project, if it is related to Spring RTS.

A side effect of this, is that the project is kind of shiftet towards being "owned" by the Spring RTS community.

Release a SNAPSHOT

To release a development version to the Sonatype snapshot repository only:

mvn clean deploy

Release

Prepare "target/" for the release process

mvn release:clean

Prepare the release

• asks for the release and new snapshot versions to use (for all modules)

• packages

Perform the release

• checks-out the release tag

• deploy into sonatype staging repository

    mvn release:perform
