Howto create javadoc and sources jars wirh the release

[ggruber4711]

We switched to the releaser plugin already 4 years ago and are quite happy with it. We use the releaser plugin in a jenkins job to run from master branch to start the release and push to a onprem nexus repository.

Previous to starting with releaser plugin, we used the original maven release plugin which used to also generate source and javadoc artifacts. While we were not really needing this feature when switching, we did not investigate further how to get the same result with releaser plugin.

However now the need is back and we would like to release not only the Normal jar artifacts, but also the 2 variants for source and javadocs.

How can this be done with this plugin?

Hi there, just add the javadoc and source plugins. It’s very independent from this plugin (in fact is the deploy plugin that decides which files get uploaded). Check the Pom of this project as an example.
