JTS Release Guide

This guide is intended for JTS project maintainers, to assist them in preparing releases of the project.

Release Checklist

Preparation

  1. Locate the Release Milestone for the release.

  2. Apply this milestone Issues and PRs included in the release.

  3. Update the Version History

    1. Record significant changes (should have been done ongoing)

    2. Enter date of release

  4. Start an eclipse release process

    Example review: 1.17.0-release-review page

    • Use the text from Version History to quickly write the describe the release.

    • Email review page to locationtech-pmc like this for PMC approval.

    • Email review page emo@eclipse.org when ready, to save time you can link to the PMC approval thread.

    • EMO opens a bug ticket like this to track progress

    The release process takes around two weeks, and are scheduled for the 1st and 15th of each month.

Update Artifacts

On master:

  1. Before you start check that the Maven build executes with no errors

    mvn clean install

  2. Set the version number in Java class: org.locationtech.jts.JTSVersion

    Change SNAPSHOT version:

    private static final String RELEASE_INFO = "SNAPSHOT";

    To release version:

    private static final String RELEASE_INFO = "";

  3. Update version number in Maven POMs (run the Maven release plugin at project root:

    mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.18.0

  4. Commit this change.

    git commit -m "Release version 1.18.0"
git push

  5. Tag this commit, and push the tag to GitHub.

    git tag -a 1.18.0 -m "Release version 1.18.0"

    This is the commit that will form the GitHub release below.

Create Release Artifacts

  1. Before you start double check that you have gpg installed and configured, with your public key distributed.

    References: Working with PGP Signatures

  2. The gpg-agent will remember a passphrase for a short duration.

    To interact with the agent (so it asks you the passphrase):

    gpg --use-agent --armor --detach-sign --output $output pom.xml
rm pom.xml.asc
```

  3. Execute the final Maven release build which will sign jars:

    mvn clean install -Drelease

Deploy the Release

  1. Deploy to Maven Central, using credentials in your ~/.m2/settings.xml:

    <server>
   <id>ossrh</id>
   <username>jira_user</username>
   <password>jira_password</password>
</server>

    Reference: Deploying to OSSRH with Apache Maven

  2. Deploy to Maven Central with the release property and profile

    mvn deploy -Drelease

  3. Create a JTS GitHub release

    1. Navigate to https://github.com/locationtech/jts/releases and use "Draft new Release" based on your tag.

    2. Copy the release notes from JTS_Version_History.md

      Example: [1.17.0](https://github.com/locationtech/jts/releases/tag/1.17.0]

    3. Add release artifacts (from the target folders):

      • jts-core-1.18.0-javadoc.jar
      • jts-core-1.18.0-sources.jar
      • jts-core-1.18.0.jar
      • jts-io-common-1.18.0-javadoc.jar
      • jts-io-common-1.18.0-sources.jar
      • jts-io-common-1.18.0.jar
      • JTSTestBuilder.jar

    4. Tip: Mark as a draft release (until Eclipse review process completes)

Publish Javadocs

Update Javadoc on JTS Github IO:

  1. Javadoc is generated by the Maven build above.

  2. Update branch gh-pages:

    • clone
    • branch
    • copy new Javadoc
    • commit

Post release

Update master to the next release version:

  1. Set the version number in Java class: org.locationtech.jts.JTSVersion

    Change release version:

    public static final int MAJOR = 1;
public static final int MINOR = 18;
public static final int PATCH = 0;
private static final String RELEASE_INFO = "";

    To next SNAPSHOT version:

    public static final int MAJOR = 1;
public static final int MINOR = 19;
public static final int PATCH = 0;
private static final String RELEASE_INFO = "SNAPSHOT";

  2. Update version number in Maven POMs (run the Maven release plugin at project root:

    mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.19.0-SNAPSHOT

  3. Commit this change.
