<p>Here you will find the steps to create releases for Velocity Engine or Velocity Tools.</p>
<p>Instructions make explicit references to the <em>engine</em> subproject, but you can easily adapt them for the <em>tools</em> subproject.</p>
<h3 id="prerequisites">Prerequisites<a class="headerlink" href="#prerequisites" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>To create a release you have to install:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">Java Development Kit 8</a></li>
<li><a href="http://maven.apache.org/">Maven 3</a></li>

</ul>
<h3 id="one-time-operations">One-time operations<a class="headerlink" href="#one-time-operations" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>These operations need to be performed only one time.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Create and publish your GPG key</p>
<p>To create a GPG key, follow the <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html}guidelines">guidelines</a>. Insert in the file you find on people.apache.org at the directory:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre>/www/www.apache.org/dist/velocity/
</pre></div>
<p>Publish your GPG key in a PGP key server, such as <a href="http://pgp.mit.edu/">MIT Keyserver</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Modify <code>settings.xml</code></p>
<p>Your <code>settings.xml</code> must be modified to allow deployment.</p>
<p>This is the minimal configuration, obviously if you already have a <code>settings.xml</code> file, you must edit it:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre> :::xml
<span class="nt">&lt;settings</span> <span class="na">xmlns=</span><span class="s">&quot;http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0&quot;</span>

</pre></div>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="repeatable-operations">Repeatable operations<a class="headerlink" href="#repeatable-operations" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>These steps must be performed <strong>for each</strong> release.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Check updates of dependencies and maven plugins:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre>mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
mvn versions:display-plugin-updates
</pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Check content of root README.md file (for new features documentation, important notices, and stated dependencies versions).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Also check updates for the parent velocity-master artifact version.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Archive the previous release candidate</p>
<p>If it's not the first release candidate you're trying to release, you should archive the previous release candidate. For instance:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre>svn mv -m <span class="s2">&quot;[engine] archive engine 2.0 RC4&quot;</span> https://_your_apache_id_@svn.apache.org/repos/asf/velocity/engine/tags/2.0 https://_your_apache_id_@svn.apache.org/repos/asf/velocity/engine/tags/2.0-RC4
</pre></div>
<p>And don't forget to also drop the staged artifact.</p>
<p>Of course, you will also have to revert the automated commits from the previous <code>mvn release:*</code> commands. You can use the following shell one-liner to get their revision numbers:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre>$ svn log pom.xml <span class="p">|</span> grep -B2 maven-release-plugin <span class="p">|</span> egrep <span class="s2">&quot;^r&quot;</span> <span class="p">|</span> head -2 <span class="p">|</span> cut -d<span class="s1">&#39; &#39;</span> -f <span class="m">1</span>
r1866626
r1866624
</pre></div>
<p>Then, revert:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre>svn merge -r1866626:1866623 .
svn commit -m &quot;[engine/tools] Revert poms for next 2.2 RC attempt&quot;
</pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Complete and update the changelog source file <code>src/changes/changes.xml</code> (note: we may get rid of this changelog in the future since it is quite painful to maintain and seems highly redundant with the JIRA release notes).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Prepare the release tag</p>
<p>To prepare the release Subversion tag, check out the branch/trunk from where
you are preparing the release and type:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre>mvn release:prepare -Dusername<span class="o">=</span>YOUR_SVN_USER -Dpassword<span class="o">=</span>YOUR_SVN_PASSWORD
</pre></div>
<p>The plugin will interactively ask you the version to release, the subversion tag to use and the next snapshot version. Rather than the proposed default <code>velocity-engine-parent-X.X</code>, we tend to use X.X for the subversion tag.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Perform the release</p>
<p>To perform the release, i.e. creating and deploying Maven artifacts, use:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre>mvn release:perform
</pre></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>Stage the release</p>
<p>Commit all poms (renamed from <code>&lt;module&gt;/pom.xml</code> to <code>module-&lt;version&gt;.pom</code>), binary, sources, javadoc jars in the proper subdirectory of the <a href="https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/velocity">release staging area</a> svn repository, along with their signature files (*.asc), which have been generated under the <code>target/checkout</code> folder.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Provide sha-256 checksums</p>
<p>Create sha-256 checksums for each pom/jar/asc file on the </p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span class="k">for</span> file in *.jar *.asc *.pom<span class="p">;</span> <span class="k">do</span> sha256sum &lt; <span class="nv">$file</span> &gt; <span class="nv">$file</span>.sha256<span class="p">;</span> <span class="k">done</span>
</pre></div>
<p>and add those files to the release staging area svn repository.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Release the JIRA version</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>In JIRA go to the version that you want to release and release it.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Create a new version, if it has not been done before.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Create the JIRA release notes and <strong>copy the content</strong> inside your pretty release notes HTML file, which is to be hosted under svn on the same release staging area.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Close the staging repository</p>
<p>Login to <a href="https://repository.apache.org">Nexus repository</a> using your Apache LDAP credentials.</p>
<p>Click on "Staging". Then click on "velocity" in the list of repositories.</p>
<p>In the panel below you should see an open repository that is linked to your username and ip.</p>
<p>Right click on this repository and select "Close".</p>
<p>This will close the repository from future deployments and make it available for others to view.</p>
<p>If you are staging multiple releases together, skip this step until you have staged everything.</p>
<p>Enter the name and version of the artifact being released in the "Description" field and then click "Close".</p>
<p>This will make it easier to identify it later.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Verify the staged artifacts</p>
<p>If you click on your repository, a tree view will appear below.</p>
<p>You can then browse the contents to ensure the artifacts are as you expect them.</p>
<p>Pay particular attention to the existence of *.asc (signature) files.</p>
<p>If you don't like the content of the repository, right click your repository and choose "Drop".</p>
<p>You can then rollback your release and repeat the process.</p>
<p>Note the repository URL, you will need this in your vote email. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Prepare the site</p>
<p>Copy the <code>/devel/</code> section to its <code>&lt;version&gt;</code> section (but do not yet refence it from the menu), and fix any SNAPSHOT link within.</p>
<p>Generate the corresponding javadoc with</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre>mvn javadoc:aggregate
</pre></div>
<p>and commit the result in [VERSION]/apidocs</p>
<p>Push those changes to production (see the <a href="http://velocity.apache.org/site-building.html">Site Building</a> page).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Send announcement for the test build</p>
<p>In <strong>developers mailing list</strong> send an announcement for the test build:</p>
