Installation
The Cargo Maven Plugin is found at (groupId:artifactId
) org.codehaus.cargo:cargo-maven2-plugin
.
This plugin works and is tested with Maven 3.x. Please note that though we have no explicit blockage of any Maven 2.x versions, the Codehaus Cargo Maven 2 / Maven 3 Plugin is not regularly tested on that old version.
Releases
The Codehaus Cargo Maven 2 / Maven 3 Plugin (and all other Cargo artifacts) are hosted at Maven central. As Maven is configured for Maven central by default, no additional installation or repository configuration is necessary to use the plugin.
Snapshots
There are also snapshot releases of the Codehaus Cargo Maven 2 / Maven 3 plugin (and all other Cargo artifacts) available through the Sonatype snapshot repository. Snapshot releases are deployed automatically by the Continous Integration system.
If you want use snapshot versions of the Cargo Maven Plugin, you'll need to add this repository to your POM, settings file, or repository manager:
[...] <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>sonatype-snapshots</id> <name>Sonatype Snapshots</name> <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url> <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> </snapshots> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> <repositories> <repository> <id>sonatype-snapshots</id> <name>Sonatype Snapshots</name> <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url> <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> </repositories> [...]
<pluginRepository> and <repository> declarations
Note that you need to declare both the pluginRepository
and repository
, due to the way how the CARGO plugin's container artifact loading mechanism works.
Then, you should decide which SNAPSHOT
version to use:
- To find out what the latest
SNAPSHOT
version is, you can simply look at the root POM file for Codehaus Cargo. - Configure the Cargo Maven Plugin by specifying the
SNAPSHOT
version you want.
For example, to use version 1.6.4-SNAPSHOT
you would declare something similar to the following in your POM:
[...] <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId> <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.6.4-SNAPSHOT</version> [...] </plugin> [...] </plugins> </build> [...]
