Parent pom for IIPC projects

This project consists of a POM that contains settings that are likely to be useful to any IIPC project that is building and releasing code with Maven 3. By using this project as a parent, a project gets these settings.

Some of the settings are parameterized by using the property github.name which is assumed to be the project name on GitHub the project can be reached by (https://github.com/iipc/${github.name}). Most project will want to override some of these settings.

The following is a list of the items configured in this POM:

• license: Apache License, version 2.0.
• organization: The International Internet Preservation Consortium
• url: https://github.com/iipc/iipc-parent. You should override this.
• issueManagement: https://github.com/iipc/${github.name}/issues
• scm:
  • connection: scm:git:git@github.com:iipc/${github.name}.git
  • developerConnection: scm:git:git@github.com:iipc/${github.name}.git
  • url: https://github.com/iipc/${github.name}
• repositories: The pom adds the Sonatype snapshot repository (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/)
• distributionManagement: The POM sets up for releases to Sonatype at https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/ and snapshots to https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/. The site is set to: http://iipc.github.io/${github.name}/1.1

The plugin management section specifies versions of a list of plugins. See the Plugin Management report for the complete list with versions.

• The compiler plugin is set to default to Java 7 and UTF-8 source.
• The release plugin is set to enable the iipc-release profile for all executions of the release plugin and to disable <useReleaseProfiles>.

This pom sets up some reasonable defaults for creating releases. Among other things it includes the following plugins:

• maven-source-plugin: configured to build and attach a source jar.
• maven-javadoc-plugin: configured to build and attach a javadoc jar.
• maven-gpg-plugin: configured to sign everything.

For more information see the documentation for making releases.
