Upgraded Maven required for 7.6.1?

[Sean Kalynuk]

It looks like there is now a higher version requirement for Maven?

 

Docs say 3.3.x+ (as of today):

 

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-ApacheMaven3.3.xorabove(Javabuildtool)

 

There is mention of using 3.8.x and 3.6.x though.

 

A “mvn package” (using Maven 3.3.9) on 7.6.1 server recently produced this error:

 

“Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:buildnumber-maven-plugin:3.2.0:create (default) on project dspace-api: The plugin org.codehaus.mojo:buildnumber-maven-plugin:3.2.0 requires Maven version 3.5.4”

Hi Sean

Thanks for pointing this out. This is due to my PR https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/9016 that bumped up the buildnumber-maven-plugin version from 1.4 => 3.2.0. see https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/9016

I did not realise this would up the required Maven version as listed in the docs. It's not easy to gather release history from the documentation on the plugin's website: https://www.mojohaus.org/buildnumber-maven-plugin/. However in the plugin's Github it does say that Maven 3.5.4 is required starting with version 3.1.0 (https://github.com/mojohaus/buildnumber-maven-plugin/releases).

We have the option to either revert to plugin version 3.0.0 or up the doc requirements to indicate Maven 3.5.4 is required. I lean towards the latter option. 

Best regards, Hrafn

Hi Hrafn,

 

I agree that it is best to just upgrade the documented requirements.
