Note from Brian L. McMichael: As of 10/13/2015 this app is in maintenance mode. I'm pulling in useful commits from the community but make no guarantees about long-term support of this project. The unlimited storage plan with Amazon's Cloud Drive has solved my need for cheap large-scale file storage.

Development

One needs JDK 11+ for building (requirement of some dependencies). Target release is still set to Java 8 (so resulting jar should be runnable under JRE 8).

Build runnable JAR including all dependencies

mvn clean package assembly:single

Resulting archive: target/GlacierUploader-*-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Perform release of new version

Double check you are in the master branch with the latest changes pulled. Also check that CHANGELOG.md contains info about the release to be done.

This will do some checks, change the version in the POM to a new version (you will be prompted for the versions to use), commit POM, tag the code in the SCM, bump the version in the POM and commit+push this POM. One can first simulate the release (with no changes in SCM) using parameter -DdryRun=true.

mvn release:prepare

Then, switch to just created release tag

git checkout GlacierUploader-X.Y.Z

and build the runnable JAR (see above) from there. Create the GitHub Release and attach given JAR. Then, edit the "next" Milestone to have the released version in the Title and close it. Next create the new "next" Milestone.

Also do not forget to update the Website.

Bulk bump of dependency versions

mvn versions:use-latest-versions
