Version 4.0.3 is finally there and includes various bug-fixes and improvements :-)

New Features / Bug-Fixes:

The main key-aspects that have been improved or being worked on are the following:

  • #525 / #524: Update JGit dependency to 5.9.0.202009080501 (which fixes java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException when using JGit concurrently in the same application -- see here for further details)
  • #519 / #520: made the plugin slightly smarter in terms of stripping the password from remote git urls that contain special characters. Note that this problem still can resurface when the url does not follow rfc2396. If processing fails the plugin will continue to print an error, but will avoid exposing the url in any generated properties (similar behaviour as before)
  • #501 / #517: replace jackson-databind with lightweight javax.json to fix broken JSON format
  • #527: fix javadoc generation for java 12/13

Getting the latest release

The plugin is available from Maven Central (see here), so you don't have to configure any additional repositories to use this plugin. All you need to do is to configure it inside your project as dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>pl.project13.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>git-commit-id-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.3</version>
</dependency>

Getting the latest snapshot (build automatically)

If you can't wait for the next release, you can also get the latest snapshot version from sonatype, that is being deployed automatically by travis:

<pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>sonatype-snapshots</id>
        <name>Sonatype Snapshots</name>
        <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Even though travis will only deploy a new snapshot once all tests have finished, it is recommended to rely on the released and more stable version.

Known Issues / Limitations:

  • This plugin is unfortunately not working with Heroku which is due to the fact how Heroku works. In summary Heroku does not copy over the .git-repository but in order to determine the git properties this plugin relies on the fact that it has access to the git-repository. A somewhat workaround to get some information is outlined in #279 (comment)
  • Using maven's plugin prefix resolution (e.g. mvn com.test.plugins:myPlugin:myMojo) might result in unresolved properties even with <injectAllReactorProjects>true</injectAllReactorProjects>. Please refer to #287 or #413 (comment) for details and potential workarounds
