I’m currently enabling incrementals in my plugins. I was quite easy to produce them, e.g. the following PRs successfully deployed a incremental release:

Now I wanted to use the created versions in a downstream plugin:


I did run 

mvn -U incrementals:update -Dbranch=jenkinsci/release
or
mvn -U incrementals:update -Dbranch=release
or 
mvn -U incrementals:update

But nothing happens. I get a lot of info messages in the style of 
[INFO] artifact com.puppycrawl.tools:checkstyle: checking for updates from central
But no message that a new incremental has been found or not. 
Also the pom does not change.

Do I need to mark the dependencies in my pom somehow so that the incrementals plugin knows what to release? I think I am missing something simple and obvious here but I do not find anything in the documentation that points me into the right direction...

I believe you have to use an incrementals once before it can be updated

The incrementals docs say:
> Once you have some dependencies on incremental versions in your POM, you can
<do the maven stuff>

I think you need to add io.jenkins.plugins:jquery3-api:3.4.1-1-beta2-rc52.da76aa84ddb7

Thanks, that was exactly the problem! Now it is working as expected.

Well, it works perfectly on the console.

In order to get everything resolved in IntelliJ I needed to add to my pom:
<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>repo.jenkins-ci.org</id>
    <url>https://repo.jenkins-ci.org/public/</url>
  </repository>
  <repository>
    <id>incrementals.jenkins-ci.org</id>
    <url>https://repo.jenkins-ci.org/incrementals/</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>
Otherwise IntelliJ will not find the dependencies…

You should just need to enable the "consume-incrementals" profile, rather than adding extras to the pom


If you are not using a mirror in your settings.xml then yes, I have always had to bootstrap the repositories section for repo.jenkins-ci.org, to work from the command line (so supporsied that you needed to add this just now if it was already working)

I see. It would be helpful if the 

mvn incrementals:incrementalify 

would do this automatically as well.

It does:

Ok, then IntelliJ simply does not read ‚maven.config‘.

(I found a way to activate the profiles manually in the IntelliJ UI though…)

That's a shame.  I was planning on using that to activate the jenkins-bom profile but I have also found issues in large agregator projects where some modules want it enabled and some do not.

I'm wondering if we should generically switch to using file based activation rather than property :-/

Uh, is it not open source (at least the core part)? I fixed this bug
for NetBeans. Granted, I had a head start in that case.

If you change your IntelliJ config to delegate to Maven rather than
using its own build code, most of these Maven-specific extensions work
fine (I've had to do that with Maven projects that rely heavily on
Maven toolchain support for example).

Probably not sufficient. The issue is that the IDE needs to understand
the Maven classpath for use from its editor. In the case of NetBeans,
which always runs Maven builds using a forked `mvn`, builds were never
an issue, but the IDE’s internal model had to be patched to grok
`-Pconsume-incrementals` in `.mvn/maven.config`. Otherwise it did not
know about the alternate repository location, and failed to locate
some transitive dependencies.

Possibly we could switch to activating this profile (and
`might-produce-incrementals`, though that is likely irrelevant to an
IDE) using a property set in `pom.xml` rather than relying on
`maven.config`. I cannot recall whether I tried that option during
JEP-305 research. It would be compatible, I think, and might be
supported better by IDEs.

(We also have some file-activated profiles using e.g.
`.mvn_exec_node`. I do not think that has any benefit over using a
property in this case; there is different inheritance behavior when
you have an intermediate parent POM derived from `plugin-pom`.)

Unfortunately this does not work: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1505674/12916
