Motivation:
When Maven does not run in batch mode, it will continuously print its progress as it downloads dependencies.
This can produce a very large amount of log output, that makes it harder to debug build failures.
Modification:
Make all Maven builds run in batch mode by adding the `-B` command line flag, and have transfer progress suppressed with the `-ntp` flag.
Some builds were already running batch mode but had the flag in a different location – these have had their `-B` flag moved so all builds are consistent.
Result:
Much less output in our build logs where Maven is just downloading stuff.
Motivation:
Just use MAVEN_OPTS to setup all the timeouts etc for dependency downloads. This way we at least can be sure these are applied.
Modifications:
- Use MAVEN_OPTS
- Remove ci profile
- Remove unused settings.xml file
- Always use ./mvnw
Result:
Build stability improvements
Motivation:
0f25213918 introduced some properties that were used to make builds more stable on the ci. All of these properties were duplicated everywhere, this made it hard to maintain
Modifications:
- Add profile which sets the properties.
- Just use the profile when build on the ci
Result:
Easier to maintain custom properties for the ci build
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
