We released the Apptools Maven Plugin in version 0.11.1!
This plugin for Maven is used to interface with the Universal Plugin Manager's (UPM) REST API to deploy apps (formerly known as add-ons or plugins) to a remote Confluence server. It is a tool for developers to deploy a number of JARs/OBRs to an environment, like development, test, pre-production. The plugin may operate on a single project, handling the artifact of this project, or may be based on a POM project that defines a set of apps to be deployed to different environments.
This new version provides two bugfixes.

Today we published a bugfix release for the smartics JIRA Maven Plugin in version 0.2.3.
The smartics JIRA Maven Plugin supports updating information on a JIRA server to integrate into our Maven build process.
This plugin is one additional building block for the automation of process around the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence. Together with the Doctype Maven Plugin and the Apptools Maven Plugin this is the third plugin to make daily tasks simple and fast to execute.
Today we released the Buildmetadata Maven Plugin to Maven Repo 1!
The Buildmetadata Maven Plugin provides properties to the build process. These properties can be used as metadata to be stored with the generated artifacts or can control the build process.
This release contains some small features to access the version number parts as build properties. It also allows to format the timestamp information by a custom pattern.
We use this new information to construct unique version IDs for our Confluence add-ons when we deploy snapshot versions to our different environments.
Release Notes - Buildmetadata Maven Plugin - Version 1.7.0
Bug
- [BMMP-107] - Fix Missing System Property Name
New Feature
We are very happy to announce that the free add-ons Doctypes for Service Management (ITSM) and Doctypes for Business Strategy are now available on the Atlassian Marketplace!
Both add-ons provide page blueprints and space blueprints that use tools (especially macros) from the commercial projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence. The projectdoc Toolbox is also available on the Atlassian Marketplace – together with a number of projectdoc Extensions and other Doctype Add-ons that provide additional tools for collaborative, technical documentation with Confluence.
IT Service Management
The Doctypes for Service Management support teams to document their services, systems, configuration items and many more. This is a top-down approach where the service strategy is developed in advance of establishing the systems. The free extensions for the projectdoc Toolbox including the Web API Extension and the Information Systems Extension support teams to integrate information from outside the Confluence platform into projectdoc Documents. A projectdoc document is a traditional Confluence page with document properties and document sections.
Business Strategy
The Doctypes for Business Strategy includes doctypes to define the mission, vision, and strategy for a team. There is also a blueprint to make SWOT analyses. It is designed to provided some basic structure to define the reason and goals of an organization or product. It helps teams to develop a common understanding and is therefore a tool to use right at the start.

Anton talked about our new Apptools Maven Plugin at the Atlassian User Group Munich today! Lightning fast he introduces the basic concepts to deploy apps to different environments from the context of a Maven project.
The Lightning Talk for Apptools Maven Plugin – what he showed at the meeting on 14th March 2019 – is on our website!
Thank you to everyone on the meetup, especially for your warm feedback!

Today we published a bugfix release for the smartics JIRA Maven Plugin in version 0.2.1.
The smartics JIRA Maven Plugin supports updating information on a JIRA server to integrate into our Maven build process.
This plugin is one additional building block for the automation of process around the projectdoc Toolbox for Confluence. Together with the Doctype Maven Plugin and the Apptools Maven Plugin this is the third plugin to make daily tasks simple and fast to execute.
None of the plugin goals requires a POM file to be present. In case such a POM file or the Maven Settings file is present, information (like the URL to the issue management system or the credentials for the JIRA server) will used.
Currently the following use cases are supported:
- Adding new versions from the commandline
- Adding issues that depend in a root issue from the commandline (such as there is a new feature in the Doctypes MP and we need to add issues in the Doctype Add-ons)
Checking differences between the Maven POM and the JIRA Project (because the REST Client API does not support more currently)
Today we released the first public version of the SJMP! Its current version is 0.2.0, so expect that there are some rough edges and plenty of use cases still unsupported.

- Checking differences between the Maven POM and the JIRA Project (because the REST Client API does not support more currently)
We also have the help and usage goal to support users directly on the commandline.
The main use case for us us is to created related issues. If we have a new feature with our Doctype Maven Plugin that generates a new artifact into existing doctype add-ons or fixes a bug on generated artifacts, then users of these add-ons need to be informed. This is typically done by adding a new issue to the individual doctype add-on projects, explaining briefly that this new feature exists or an issue has been solved. With this plugin the related issues can be created automatically, link to the root issue, and be set to a fixed state. No manual steps involved.
