Maven Git Versioning Extension

ℹ Also available as Gradle Plugin

This extension can virtually set project version and properties, based on current Git status

ℹ No POM files will be modified, version and properties are modified in memory only

• Get rid of…
  • Maven Release Plugin; see Maven Release Plugin: The Final Nail in the Coffin
  • editing pom.xml
  • managing project versions within files and Git tags
  • git merge conflicts

Usage

⚠️ If you're using IntelliJ have a look at IntelliJ Setup Instructions

Requirements

• ⚠️ minimal required java version is 11
• ⚠️ minimal required maven version is 3.6.3

Add Extension to Maven Project

create or update ${rootProjectDir}/.mvn/extensions.xml file

<extensions xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/core-extensions-1.0.0.xsd">

    <extension>
        <groupId>me.qoomon</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-git-versioning-extension</artifactId>
        <version>9.3.0</version>
    </extension>

</extensions>

Configure Extension

ℹ Consider CI/CD section when running this extension in a CI/CD environment

Create ${rootProjectDir}/.mvn/maven-git-versioning-extension.xml.

You can configure the version and properties adjustments for specific branches and tags.

Example: maven-git-versioning-extension.xml

<configuration xmlns="https://github.com/qoomon/maven-git-versioning-extension"
               xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xsi:schemaLocation="https://github.com/qoomon/maven-git-versioning-extension https://qoomon.github.io/maven-git-versioning-extension/configuration-7.0.0.xsd">

    <refs>
        <ref type="branch">
            <pattern>.+</pattern>
            <version>${ref}-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <properties>
                <foo>${ref}</foo>
            </properties>
        </ref>

        <ref type="tag">
            <pattern><![CDATA[v(?<version>.*)]]></pattern>
            <version>${ref.version}</version>
        </ref>
    </refs>

    <!-- optional fallback configuration in case of no matching ref configuration-->
    <rev>
        <version>${commit}</version>
    </rev>

</configuration>

Configuration Elements

• <disable> global disable(true)/enable(false) extension, default is false.

  • Can be overridden by command option, see Parameters & Environment Variables.

• <projectVersionPattern> An arbitrary regex to match project version, matching groups can be used as Format Placeholders (has to be a full match pattern)

• <describeTagPattern> An arbitrary regex to match tag names for git describe command (has to be a full match pattern e.g. v(.+), default is .*

• <updatePom> Enable(true)/disable(false) version and properties update in original pom file, default is false

  • Can be overridden by command option, see Parameters & Environment Variables.

• <refs considerTagsOnBranches="BOOLEAN"> List of ref configurations, ordered by priority. First matching configuration will be used.

  • considerTagsOnBranches By default, tags pointing at current commit will be ignored if HEAD is attached to a branch.

  • If this option is true tags will always be taken into account.
    
    

  • <ref type="TYPE"> specific ref patch definition.

    • required type Ref type indicates which kind of ref will be matched against pattern, can be branch or tag

    • <pattern> An arbitrary regex to match ref names

      • has to be a full match pattern e.g. main or feature/.+
        
        

    • <describeTagPattern> An arbitrary regex to match tag names for git describe command

      • has to be a full match pattern e.g. v.+)
      • will override global <describeTagPattern> value
        
        

    • <version> The new version format, see Format Placeholders

    • <properties>

      • <name>value</name> A property definition to update the value of a property.
        • <name> The property name
        • value The new value format of the property, see Format Placeholders
          
          

    • <updatePom> Enable(true) or disable(false) version and properties update in original pom file

      • will override global <updatePom> value

• <rev> Rev configuration will be used if no ref configuration is matching current git situation.

  • same as <ref> configuration, except type attribute and <pattern> element.

• <relatedProjects> Add external projects as related project to update their versions as well.

  <relatedProjects>
      <project>
          <groupId>me.qoomon</groupId>
          <artifactId>base</artifactId>
      </project>
  </relatedProjects>

Format Placeholders

ℹ ….slug placeholders means all / characters will be replaced by -.

ℹ Final version will be slugified automatically, so no need to use ${….slug} placeholders in <version> format.

ℹ define placeholder default value (placeholder is not defined) like this ${name:-DEFAULT_VALUE}
e.g ${env.BUILD_NUMBER:-0} or ${env.BUILD_NUMBER:-local}

ℹ define placeholder overwrite value (placeholder is defined) like this ${name:+OVERWRITE_VALUE}
e.g ${dirty:-SNAPSHOT} resolves to -SNAPSHOT instead of -DIRTY

IDE Setup

IntelliJ - Multi Modules Projects

For a flawless experience you need to disable this extension during project import, otherwise you'll get errors for modules depending on another module.
To disable this extension during import add following Maven Importer VM options (Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Maven > Importing > VM options for importer) -Dversioning.disable=true

CI/CD Setup

Most CI/CD systems do checkouts in a detached HEAD state so no branch information is available, however they provide environment variables with this information. You can provide those, by using Parameters & Environment Variables.

Native Support

• GitHub Actions: if $GITHUB_ACTIONS == true, GITHUB_REF is considered
• GitLab CI: if $GITLAB_CI == true, CI_COMMIT_BRANCH and CI_COMMIT_TAG are considered
• Circle CI: if $CIRCLECI == true, CIRCLE_BRANCH and CIRCLE_TAG are considered
• Jenkins: if JENKINS_HOME is set, BRANCH_NAME and TAG_NAME are considered

Manual Setup

Set following environment variables before running your mvn command

export VERSIONING_GIT_REF=$PROVIDED_REF;

$PROVIDED_REF value examples: refs/heads/main, refs/tags/v1.0.0 or refs/pull/1000/head

or

export VERSIONING_GIT_BRANCH=$PROVIDED_BRANCH;
export VERSIONING_GIT_TAG=$PROVIDED_TAG;

$PROVIDED_BRANCH value examples: main, refs/heads/main or refs/pull/1000/head

$PROVIDED_TAG value examples: v1.0.0 or refs/tags/v1.0.0

Miscellaneous Hints

Commandline To Print Project Version

mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.version -q -DforceStdout

Reproducible builds

The maven reproducible builds feature can be easily supported with this extension e.g.

<ref type="branch">
  <pattern>.+</pattern>
  <properties>
    <project.build.outputTimestamp>${commit.timestamp}</project.build.outputTimestamp>
  </properties>
</ref>

Build & Release

gpg --import private.key
gpg --list-keys

  # Publishes this plugin to local Maven
  mvn install
  # Run integration tests after install,
