Goals available for this plugin:
| Goal | Description |
|---|---|
| externals:commit | Examine the local working copy of a project for any svn:externals definitions. Commit any local changes including any changes under the svn:externals directories. |
| externals:formatpoms | Recursively examine the file system for Maven poms starting at
basedir. Any pom.xml files located have formatting
applied to them. |
| externals:tag | Connect svn:externals definitions with a multi-module Maven build in an intelligent manner. This mojo creates a tag from a Subversion checkout containing svn:externals definitions that correspond to Maven modules. The version numbers in the respective poms are modified to reflect the current build. This allows the tag to be used to create reproducible builds. The binaries Maven produces off the tag, correspond exactly to the version numbers in the Maven pom's. |
