Phases and Goals
================

If you are trying to figure out what phases and goals exist, run the following:
$ mvn fr.jcgay.maven.plugins:buildplan-maven-plugin:list

If you only want to run one particular goal for one particular plugin:
$ mvn exec:exec -rf :org.yocto.doc.user
But, this seems to fail because we need to resolve the parent target first.


Mass Version Update (for bump or release)
=========================================

Let us assume all the plugins and pom.xml are currently at "1.4.1-SNAPSHOT".


Scenario: bump to "1.4.2-SNAPSHOT"
----------------------------------

If we want to change the version of the plugin(s) to "1.4.2-SNAPSHOT", this requires
multiple locations to be updated from "1.4.1-SNAPSHOT" to "1.4.2-SNAPSHOT".

To very easily update all the project's versions, run the following command:
$ mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:set-version -DnewVersion="1.4.2-SNAPSHOT"

This is smart enough to update:
  (1) all the pom.xml files (parent and children),
  (2) all the individual prjects META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Scenario: release  "1.5.0"
----------------------------------
If we want to create a "1.5.0" release, we want to update multiple locations to "1.5.0".

To very easily update all the project's versions, run the following command:
$ mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:set-version -DnewVersion="1.5.0"

TODO: tagging procedure
At that point, a tag could (should) be created. We need to work with release engineering on
how that happens. Currently, a tag is created very late in the release cycle by the release
engineer. Perhaps we could create a tag for the Eclipse plugin version to indicate the branch
is ready to release. After the release of YP is done, we could bump "master" to the next -SNAPSHOT.
