Re: [ee4j-pmc] Nightly Builds for API projects

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Markus,
I'm not sure on the Eclipse setup for
this.  I know that the PMC is not currently looking at providing this
type of snapshot repo support.  FYI...  From a MicroProfile perspective,
the Technology PMC (our top-level project) does not provide this type of
support.  We publish our Release Candidate drivers to a snapshot repo
(we don't currently do this for our nightlies).  Maybe the WebMaster
will have more insights?  Or, you could try posting your question
to incubation@xxxxxxxxxxx.  Let us know if you find something outside
of this email thread.  Thanks.

   [ee4j-pmc] Nightly
Builds for API projects

PMC and Webmaster,
 
the JAX-RS project (actually all API
projects) urgently need nightly builds pushed to OSSRH Snapshot Repository.
 
The reason is that while further developing
the APIs (here: JAX-RS API), in parallel we work on the RIs (here: Jersey).
The problem is that once we push a PR which uses the changed API, CI of
the RI will fail as the CI system cannot find the modified API. The reason
is that the API was "nightly" built (actually, thanks to Travis,
built right after the git push in fact), but then the artifact simply gets
discarded.
 
The solution clearly is to not discard
these artifacts, but to push them to a Snapshot Repository. In particular,
OSSRH Snapshot Repository.
 
The question is: What the is the "official"
way to get this set up a Snapshot Repository? Does every project have to
do that, or is the Webmaster doing that, or is the PMC preparing a "central
exchange" for work-in-progress?
 
Thanks
