Prepare the First Project Release
In this step, you will re-use the project you created in the Prepare the Project step of the Deploy in Bloomreach Cloud tutorial.
Release the Project
You will create a "release" by setting the project's version to 1.0.0 using the Versions Maven Plugin.
In your project's root directory enter the following command:
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.0.0
This updates the project version in the pom.xml in the project root as well as in all submodules.
To clean up the temporary backups of the pom.xml files made by the Versions plugin enter the following command:
mvn versions:commit
Create a Distribution
To be able to deploy the project in a Bloomreach Cloud environment it must be packaged as a distribution.
In your project's root directory enter the following commands:
mvn clean verify mvn -P dist
mvn clean verify mvn -P dist-with-content
This creates a distribution file in the target directory:
myproject/target/myproject-1.0.0-distribution.tar.gz
In the next step, you will upload this file to Bloomreach Cloud and deploy it in the blue environment.
