This project is intended to be consumed by other projects as their parent. It inherits from the spring-boot-starter-parent from the Spring project it self.

It also specifies the versions of all other sfg-sb-common projects, so that any consumer can easily obtain a compatible version for their project.

spring-boot-common-utils

This project defines some common utilities which will be used by most projects. Like:

logging

See the README in that folder for more details.

Adding a project

To add a new project, a few steps need to be taken.

A new maven module needs to be created
It should define the root project as it's parent (NOTE: this is not the spring-boot-parent module)
It should NOT define a group id or a version
It should define an SCM section
It should NOT a distribution section
It should be added to the <modules> section in the root pom
It should be added to the <dependencyManagement> section of the spring-boot-parent pom

// TODO: improve this section

Releasing

// TODO: create a Jenkins pipeline for this

A release should be done using the maven release plugin.

In GIT, it will create a commit with the exact version, tag it and create a commit with the next version.

In Maven it will set the exact version (without snapshot). Both as the project version, as well as the dependency management versions.

To create a release, execute:

mvn release:prepare
mvn release:perform

Optionally add --batch-mode to mvn to make Maven non-interactive. Otherwise, accept the default versions provided by release plugin.
