Hello,
I have been debianising some of our maven packages to make deployment to
our servers easier (and because there is a small group of other people
who might find them useful). I used mh_make to generate the debian files
and then edited them.
We have a parent pom which specifies sensible defaults for various
things such as the java source version to use (1.6 rather than the
ancient defaults).
https://github.com/ucam-cl-dtg/dtg-pom/blob/debian/parent/pom.xml
When I debianised it despite the maven-compiler-plugin not being listed
in debian/maven.ignoreRules the filtered pom file (available here:
https://launchpad.net/~ucam-cl-dtg/+archive/ucam/+packages when
launchpad finishes building) does not contain the maven-compiler-plugin
configuration.
This causes dependent packages like libucamwebauth-java
( https://github.com/ucam-cl-dtg/ucam-webauth/tree/debian ) to be build
with -source 1.3 which fails rather badly:
/auto/homes/drt24/git/web/raven/webauth/src/main/java/uk/ac/cam/ucs/webauth/WebauthResponse.java:[345,5] annotations are not supported in -source 1.3
(use -source 5 or higher to enable annotations)
@Override
The seemingly obvious solution to this would be to use
debian/maven.properties and specify:
maven.compile.source = 1.5
maven.compile.target = 1.5
with the properties cribbed from:
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/java/properties.html
However this has no effect and I still get complaints due to -source 1.3
being used.
What am I doing wrong? Does the maven-compiler-plugin have to be
stripped out of poms? If so is there a way of preserving the source and
target information in such a way that it correctly inherits to child
poms? Is there something I am missing about the way properties are
specified in maven.properties or am I using the wrong ones?
Minor point noticed along the way and probably a bug:
In the generated maven.rules I needed to do
-s/org.apache.tomcat/javax.servlet/ servlet-api jar s/.*/2.5/ * *
+javax.servlet servlet-api jar s/.*/2.5/ * *
As otherwise things failed with javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:debian not
being found.
mh_make is great.
Thank you,
Daniel
