erlang:generate-release-resources

Full name:

eu.lindenbaum:maven-erlang-plugin:2.0.0:generate-release-resources

Description:

Copies all resource files into that target directory structure. Copied resources contain:
  • release file (*.rel)
  • release upgrade file (relup)
  • boot scripts, etc. as returned from systools:make_script
The build of script files can be customized by passing user options through the scriptOptions parameter. In order to manage the project over the project pom there is the possibility to let the Mojo automatically fill in values from the project pom into the .rel file. This can be done by using one of the supported variables into the release file. Below is a list of supported variables and their substitutions:

  • ${ARTIFACT}: the projects artifact id (atom)
  • ${VERSION}: the projects version (string)
  • ${ERTS}: expands to the tuple {erts, "ERTS_VERSION"} with the version of erts available on the backend node (tuple)
  • ${APPLICATIONS}: a comma separated listing with all transitive dependency applications of the project (tuple listing)
  • ${AUTODEPS}: an erlang list with all transitive dependency applications of the project (list)
  • ${APPLICATION_NAME}: will be replaced by the tuple {'APPLICATION_NAME', "APPLICATION_VERSION"} with the version available on the backend node (tuple)

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven 2.0 project to be executed.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: generate-resources.

Optional Parameters
