Concepts

release

The command queries or modifies release information metadata for the current work area and performs the sequence of steps required to release. For more details about what a release is, and what those steps are, see the "Release" section.

To query the current release information, execute:

release info

To write a new release metadata into the current work area, use:

release major|minor|patch|snapshot|<custom-release-string>

The release increment does the following:

• Increments release metadata in the local workarea.
• Runs all tests.

If at least one test fails, the command restores the previous release metadata states, reports and fails.

If all tests succeed what now?

build

The command creates releasable artifacts (binary distributions or libraries, depending on the nature of the project) for the current version. If the build process is successful, the artifacts are stored in the build area ("target" directory, for Maven) of the current work area.
