How to deploy SNAPSHOT with sources and JavaDoc?

Question

I want to deploy sources and javadocs with my snapshots. This means that I want to automize the following command:

mvn clean source:jar javadoc:jar deploy


        

Answer 1

Just to add an alternative that doesn't require you to muck with plugin configuration:

mvn -DperformRelease=true [goals]

Answer 2

The article referred to by Dan also mentions another approach that works without modifying poms AND won't go away anytime soon:

mvn clean javadoc:jar source:jar install

Which works fine with Maven 3+, along with...

mvn clean javadoc:jar source:jar deploy

Which I have tested from Jenkins deploying to Nexus.

This approach was nice because I only had to modify some Jenkins jobs and didn't need to mess with my poms.
