I use maven release plugin for generating release of my project. I do not want to generate Javadoc all time I build. On the other hand when I call release:perform I would like if maven would generate sources.jar and javadoc.jar and would deploy it to maven release repository. Just because I am curious how deploying source.jar can be disabled, since It looks like it is deployed by default.

From the documentation of Maven Release Plugin, there is a useReleaseProfile parameter, which determines Whether to use the release profile that adds sources and javadocs to the released artifact, if appropriate. This is true by default. You can try changing this as appropriate to enable/disable source/javadocs.

Use the releaseProfiles parameter (example: src,javadoc) to turn on one or more profiles, and in these profiles, define the source and javadoc generation:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>src</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.1.2</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <id>attach-sources</id>
                            <phase>verify</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>jar-no-fork</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>javadoc</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.7</version>
                    <executions>

                            <goals>
                                <goal>jar</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>
</profiles>

  • Interesting, that it works only with the plugin version 2.1. So you have to say like: mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.1:prepare, since with default version 2.0.beta8 is not working with this -releaseprofiles argument. – Gábor Lipták Jan 18 '11 at 08:22
