Releases: git-commit-id/git-commit-id-maven-plugin

Version 5.0.1

24 May 17:27

Choose a tag to compare

Version 5.0.1 is finally there and includes various bug-fixes and improvements :-)

New Features / Bug-Fixes:

The main key-aspects that have been improved or being worked on are the following:

  • #630: Backport the fix for #615 that yields Maven 3.9.2 warnings to 5.x and declare org.apache.maven:maven-plugin-api and org.apache.maven:maven-core as <scope>provided</scope>

Getting the latest release

The plugin is available from Maven Central (see here), so you don't have to configure any additional repositories to use this plugin. All you need to do is to configure it inside your project as dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.git-commit-id</groupId>
    <artifactId>git-commit-id-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>5.0.1</version>
</dependency>

Getting the latest snapshot (build automatically)

If you can't wait for the next release, you can also get the latest snapshot version from sonatype, that is being deployed automatically by github actions:

<pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>sonatype-snapshots</id>
        <name>Sonatype Snapshots</name>
         <url>https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Even though the github actions will only deploy a new snapshot once all tests have finished, it is recommended to rely on the released and more stable version.

Known Issues / Limitations:

  • This plugin is unfortunately not working with Heroku which is due to the fact how Heroku works. In summary Heroku does not copy over the .git-repository but in order to determine the git properties this plugin relies on the fact that it has access to the git-repository. A somewhat workaround to get some information is outlined in #279 (comment)
  • Using maven's plugin prefix resolution (e.g. mvn com.test.plugins:myPlugin:myMojo) might result in unresolved properties even with <injectAllReactorProjects>true</injectAllReactorProjects>. Please refer to #287 or #413 (comment) for details and potential workarounds

Version 4.9.10 (The continued relocation saga)

01 Aug 22:36

Choose a tag to compare

Where should I start....this release should not exists.
Ideally the entire 4.9.9 "relocation" release was just intended to inform that the plugin moved to a new artifactId/groupId combination.

As outlined in #571 or https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7204 there seems to be a problem where Maven will not forward the correct settings when you use the old coordinates with the 4.9.9 version.
Since the 4.9.9 release contains relocation information it essentially became unusable triggering this "fix".
Please note that the plugin is still moving to it's new coordinates.
This 4.9.10 release is just a follow up to avoid any silent configuration issues being present somewhere....

TLDR:
If you can use:

<groupId>io.github.git-commit-id</groupId>
<artifactId>git-commit-id-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>5.0.0</version>

Version 4.9.9 (Relocation Release)

15 Jul 18:29

Choose a tag to compare

This is a special release and should function in the same way as v4.0.5.

⚠️ WARNING
Based on the issue outlined in #571 it is discouraged to use the old coordinates, since the plugin configuration might not be correctly applied to the plugin. Feel free to follow https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7204 for further informations.

Initially this release was just intended to inform that the plugin moved to a new artifactId/groupId combination, but to avoid having published a release that might be considered broken I decided to just "fix" it.
Currently the 4.9.9 release works only when using the new coordinates

<groupId>io.github.git-commit-id</groupId>
<artifactId>git-commit-id-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>4.9.9</version>

The main key-aspects that have been improved or being worked on are the following:

  • #525 / #524: Update JGit dependency to 5.9.0.202009080501 (which fixes java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException when using JGit concurrently in the same application -- see here for further details)
  • #519 / #520: made the plugin slightly smarter in terms of stripping the password from remote git urls that contain special characters. Note that this problem still can resurface when the url does not follow rfc2396. If processing fails the plugin will continue to print an error, but will avoid exposing the url in any generated properties (similar behaviour as before)
  • #501 / #517: replace jackson-databind with lightweight javax.json to fix broken JSON format

  • #454: add support for git.branch and git.build.number for GitHub Actions
  • #457 / #460: Add a forceValueEvaluation-switch to the replacementProperty to tell the plugin that the value needs to be regenerated for every project. Note that this will make the plugin run for every project (e.g. which might be needed for sonar that requires unique keys for the sonar)
  • #459 / #460: the git execution no longer fails on remote repository url's that don't follow a correct url-syntax (e.g. https://:@git.server.com/pathToRepo.git)
  • #472 / #502: prevent header timestamp in git.properties to allow for reproducible builds
