Motivation:
It seems like it is a known issue that maven frequently sees connection reset / connection timeout during CI builds. We should workaround these issues like others did:
- https://github.com/kiegroup/kie-wb-common/pull/3416
Modifications:
Add extra maven options during build to reduce the likelyness of timeouts / resets
Result:
More stable builds
Motivation:
LSE (https://mysqlonarm.github.io/ARM-LSE-and-MySQL/) can have a huge performance difference. Let's ensure we use a compiler that can support it.
Modifications:
Update to gc10 when cross-compiling as it supports LSE and enables it by default
Result:
More optimized builds for aarch64
Motivation:
Doing releases manually is error-prone, it would be better if we could do it via a workflow
Modification:
- Add workflow to cut releases
- Add related scripts
Result:
Be able to easily cut a release via a workflow
Motivation:
We need to ensure we also build the modules we depend on as otherwise we may not be able to resolve the dependencies correctly
Modifications:
- Add -am when calling maven
Result:
Deployment works all the time
Motivation:
We need to take special care when deploying snapshots as we need to generate the jars in multiple steps
Modifications:
- Use the nexus staging pluging to stage jars locally in multiple steps
- Add extra job that will merge these staged jars and deploy these
Result:
Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/10887
Motivation:
We should also deploy snapshots for our cross compiled native jars.
Modifications:
- Add job and docker files for deploying cross compiled native jars
- Ensure we map the maven cache into our docker containers
Result:
Deploy aarch64 jars and re-use cache
