Question

Has anyone successfully installed the latest M2 Release Plugin (http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/M2+Release+Plugin or https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/M2+Release+Plugin) on Hudson (NOT Jenkins) 2.2.1?

I just upgraded Hudson from 2.1.2 to 2.2.1 (deployed in Glassfish 3.1) and when I try to upgrade the plugin from 0.8.1, I get a 500 server error with this stack trace:

UPDATE

I uninstalled the 0.8.1 version of the plugin and installed the 0.9.1 version and also the Jenkins javadoc 1.0 plugin and both seem to have installed successfully (not sure if there will be any weirdness caused by the javadoc plugin).

However, when I view my job’s configure page, it looks very different from the M2 Release plugin page screenshots. I don’t know how much that is a Hudson/Jenkins difference or a plugin issue.

Answer 1

After some more playing around, I’ve discovered that the Build Environment section and the Perform Maven Release link that are shown in the plugin page’s screenshots, are available when one chooses to Build a maven2/3 project. It is not available in the free-style job configuration.

Our installation of Hudson has had theHudson :: Maven (legacy) :: Plugin disabled and so that type of job is not available. This was done a recommendation to use the free-style job type for Maven builds since Maven3 is now bundled with Hudson.

You don’t need the plugin to do a Maven release in Hudson, you can simply invoke the goals release:prepare and release:perform in the Invoke Maven 3 build step. You can’t customize the version and SCM comment prefixes, but it works!
