Writing and maintaining Maven projects

[POM](https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html) is

boring. This parent POM is simplifying those tasks in the context of my open source

projects by:

- defining common project and developer

  [properties](https://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/resource-filtering-sect-properties.html)

  that can be easily overridden in a single place;

- defining a convenient set of configuration default (if you use

  [GitHub](https://github.com), [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions),

  [Sonatype OSSRH](https://oss.sonatype.org), [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com)).

- providing dependency and plugin management

## How to use it?

Just inherit from it in your project :

```xml

	4.0.0

	

		fr.marcwrobel

		parent

		3.2.0

		

	

	groupId

	artifactId

	x.y.z-SNAPSHOT

	name

	description

	https://url.com

	2020

	...

	

	

		1.8

		3.8.5

		Marc Wrobel

		marcwrobel

		marc.wrobel@gmail.com

		http://www.marcwrobel.fr/

		...

	

```

All inherited information can be overridden, especially properties (take a look at this

[parent POM](pom.xml) for an exhaustive list). Remember you can display the effective POM

using [`maven-help-plugin`](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-help-plugin/effective-pom-mojo.html)

in your project:

```bash

mvn help:effective-pom

```

You must also declare a [`maven-versions-rules.xml`](/maven-versions-rules.xml) file at the root of

your project.

## What's included?

- default Maven configuration for `organization`, `developers`, `scm`, `issueManagement`,

  `ciManagement`, `distributionManagement` and `defaultGoal`,

- dependency management for dozens of libraries

  ([Apache Commons](https://commons.apache.org), [java extensions](https://www.jcp.org/),

  [Groovy](http://www.groovy-lang.org/), [Spring](https://spring.io/),

  [Hibernate](https://hibernate.org/) to name a few),

- plugin management for

  [cyclonedx-maven-plugin](https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-maven-plugin)

  (the configuration should work in most situations),

- plugin management for

  [flatten-maven-plugin](https://www.mojohaus.org/flatten-maven-plugin/)

  ([CI-friendly configuration](http://maven.apache.org/maven-ci-friendly.html)),

- plugin management for

  [git-commit-id-plugin](https://github.com/git-commit-id/maven-git-commit-id-plugin)

  (provided by `spring-boot-starter-parent` but non-verbose),

- plugin management for [jacoco-maven-plugin](https://www.jacoco.org/jacoco/)

  (activation),

- plugin management for

  [jib-maven-plugin](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib/tree/master/jib-maven-plugin)

  (default `from` and `to`),

- plugin management for

  [kotlin-maven-plugin](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/using-maven.html)

  (provided by `spring-boot-starter-parent`),

- plugin management for

  [maven-compiler-plugin](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/)

  (provided by `spring-boot-starter-parent`),

- plugin management for

  [maven-enforcer-plugin](https://maven.apache.org/enforcer/maven-enforcer-plugin/)

  (activation and configuration rules for Java and Maven versions),

- plugin management for

  [maven-failsafe-plugin](http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/)

  (provided by `spring-boot-starter-parent`),

- plugin management for

  [maven-release-plugin](https://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/)

  (change `tagNameFormat`).

- plugin management for

  [spotless-maven-plugin](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/blob/main/plugin-maven/README.md)

  (binding to the verify phase),

- plugin management and project configuration for

  [sonar-maven-plugin](https://sonarsource.github.io/sonar-scanner-maven/),

- plugin management and project configuration for

  [versions-maven-plugin](https://www.mojohaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/),

- plugin management for

  [spring-boot-maven-plugin](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/maven-plugin/index.html)

  (provided by `spring-boot-starter-parent`).

- a `release` profile, activated automatically during release with `maven-release-plugin`,

  which triggers :

    - sources attachment with

      [maven-source-plugin](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-source-plugin/),

    - javadoc attachment with

      [[maven-javadoc-plugin](http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/),

    - a PGP signature with

      [maven-gpg-plugin](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-gpg-plugin/).

- an `analyze` profile, that must be activated manually, which triggers the `jacoco` agent

  during unit or integration tests in order to calculate code coverage for SonarQube.

The `maven-enforcer-plugin` is the only plugin activated by default.

Take a look at the [POM](/pom.xml) for more information.

## Why `spring-boot-starter-parent`?

This POM is inheriting from

[`spring-boot-starter-parent`](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot) in order to:

- take advantage of the Spring Boot team's work on dependencies (with

  `spring-boot-dependencies`);

- benefit from some good plugin management defaults.

Because this POM is relying so much on `spring-boot-starter-parent` its major and minor

versions are also following those of Spring Boot.
