Testing

Here's how you can help us test the distribution prior to a vote.

Download a the distribution assemblies:

• http://people.apache.org/builds/myfaces/core-1.1.4/

Configure a <repository> for Maven 2:

        <repository>
           <id>myfaces-114-staging</id>
           <name>Apache MyFaces Core 1.1.4 Staging Repository</name>
           <url>http://people.apache.org/builds/myfaces/core-1.1.4/m2-staging-repository</url>
        </repository>

And declare dependencies on the 1.1.4 artifacts:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>myfaces-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.4</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.myfaces.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>myfaces-impl</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.4</version>
        </dependency>

Note: Maven 2.0.4 will not download a new version if one is already present in your local repository. You will need to delete $M2_REPO/org/apache/myfaces/core to force Maven to download the new version. (Usually, $M2_REPO is <your home directory>/.m2/repository .)

Then, let us know the results (good or bad!) on dev -at- myfaces.apache.org. (You must be subscribed to post. See: http://myfaces.apache.org/mail-lists.html.)

JIRA

• Add a new version to the core project 1.1.4
• Do a bulk change for all resolved issues with version fixed as 1.1.4-SNAPSHOT and change to 1.1.4
• Do a bulk change for all resolved (but not closed) in 1.1.4 and close them
• Archive the 1.1.4-SNAPSHOT version

Deployment

To deploy the api and impl jars, including -sources and -javadocs, to http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository:

   cd /path/to/SHARED_2_0_3
   mvn install
   cd /path/to/CORE_1_1_4
   mvn deploy -Pgenerate-assembly

To build and publish the -src and -bin assemblies to people.apache.org:
