Lists all properties know in the context of the build process.
The following properties can be used to refer to in the POM.
SCM information
The following revision information is extracted from the SCM system.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
build.scmRevision.id | The latest revision number provided by the SCM. |
build.scmRevision.date | The date of the latest revision number provided by the SCM. |
build.scmLocallyModified | The status of the local files. If there a local modifications (that is the local sources differ from that stored in the remote repository), this value is true. If there are no differences, the value is false. If the status cannot be determined (e.g. because of a failure) the value is unknown. Only if this value is false the revision number can be trusted to refer to the right files. |
build.scmLocallyModified.files | The list of files that are modified locally. This property is only set, if build.scmLocallyModified has a value of true. |
build.scmRevision.url | Stores the URL to the SCM server. |
Build Time Information
The following information refers to the build time.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
build.date | The date the artifact has been built. |
build.copyright.year | The year information for the copyright notice. This is, if inception year and build year are the same, the inception year, otherwise it is the period starting with the inception year and ending with the build year. In short: ${project.inceptionYear}-${build.year} |
build.date.pattern | The pattern used to format the build.date. This format is also stored as a property to allow to parse the date. It may be easier to use build.timestamp.millis to format the build date, though. |
build.timestamp.millis | A convenience value that stores the build time in milliseconds. |
build.year | A convenience property that stores the year of the build.date. |
build.duration.[name] | On setting build points, the time (in milliseconds) within the build process is stored for further reference. Together with the time difference to the start of the build, the difference to the previous build point is also stored with a .diff suffix. |
Build Execution Information
Information about the user and the system the artifact has been build by.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
build.user | The name of the user/system that build the artifact. The plugin grabs the value of the property specified by buildUserPropertyName. If no such property value is present, the Java system property user.name is returned. |
build.host.name | The name of the host the build was executed on. |
build.os.name | The name of the operating system the build was executed on. |
build.os.arch | The name of the operating system's architecture the build was executed on. |
build.os.version | The name of the operating system's version the build was executed on. |
build.java.runtime.name | The name of the Java runtime that executes the build. |
build.java.runtime.version | The version of the Java runtime that executes the build. |
build.java.vendor | The name of the vendor of the Java product that executes the build. |
build.java.vm | The name of the Java virtual machine that executes the build. |
build.java.compiler | The name of the Java compiler used by the build. |
build.java.vendor | The name of the vendor of the Java product that executes the build. |
build.maven.version | The version of the Maven tool being executed to run the build. |
build.maven.execution.cmdline | The command line arguments passed to Maven. |
build.maven.execution.goals | The goals executed by Maven on the build. |
build.maven.execution.isRoot | Flag to indicate whether the project creating the artifact is the one the run has been started on (true) or if it is a sub module (false). |
build.maven.execution.project | In the case of a sub module (build.maven.execution.isRoot has a value of false) this provides the identifier of the project the build has been started. |
build.maven.execution.opts | The Maven options provided by the environment variable MAVEN_OPTS. |
build.maven.execution.java.opts | The Java options provided by the environment variable JAVA_OPTS. |
build.maven.execution.profiles.active | The list of profiles that had been active during the build. |
build.maven.execution.profile.active.[profile-id] | The source the profile has been provided in (e.g. settings.xml). |
execution.property.[name] | The properties set to Maven for the build. This includes environment variables as well as Maven specific properties. |
The system information is provided by Java system properties os.name, os.arch and os.version as well as java.version and java.vendor. There is no additional information added by this plugin.
Build Artifact and Version Information
Artifact and version information for the build. This information is for convenience to construct version information to be used in the POM (e.g. to name the final file).
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
build.groupId | This is the group ID that is read from the POM. |
build.artifactId | This is the artifact ID that is read from the POM. |
build.version | This is the artifact version that is read from the POM. |
build.version.full | The version may contain the date in a normalized form and the revision number. This information is controlled by the Mojo properties:
|
Project Information
Project information may be helpful for operations teams that look inside an artifact to find further information.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
project.page.home.url | The URL to the project home page. |
project.page.ops.url | The URL to a resource that compiles resources relevant for the operations team. This property has to be explicitly set as a property. |
project.category | A value to categorize the artifact. This allows tools to render artifacts in multiple sections. This property has to be explicitly set as a property. |
project.subcategory | A value to further categorize the artifact. This allows tools to render artifacts in multiple sections. This property has to be explicitly set as a property. |
project.tags | A value to tag the artifact. This allows tools to organize multiple artifacts. This property has to be explicitly set as a property. |
