JReleaser turns 4

Posted on by aalmiray

April 10th marks the anniversary of JReleaser’s first release. The little tool that could has turned 4 years old, continuing strong into its next year. I’m quite satisfied by JReleaser’s ability to simplify releases up to a point they become boring and predictable. Moreover, Java projects may be the first ones to reap the benefits, but JReleaser is capable of handling all kind of projects regardless of their source code, as demonstrated in a recent blog entry. Now, during its last year JReleaser gained the following capabilities among others: Publication to Maven Central using the latest API from Sonatype, the Read More

Multi-language support in JReleaser

Posted on by aalmiray

Unbeknownst to many, since its first release back in 2021 JReleaser has had the option to release binaries regardless of their source language. This is because JReleaser is a release tool only, it does not build binaries for you. However it’s capable of assembling a variety of archives and distributions. And if the project happens to be Java based then you may integrate it with popular Java build tools such as Apache Maven, Apache Ant, and Gradle. The recent addition of the matrix element to the configuration DSL allows further integration of build and release steps. Projects continue to use Read More

JReleaser: Enter the Matrix

Posted on by aalmiray

JReleaser v1.16.0 was recently released, bringing a new set of capabilities, one of them being the Matrix element. A matrix is a collection of key/value pairs that may be used to parameterize hooks & and the archive assembler. In the future a matrix may also be used to parameterize jlink and nativeImage assemblers, as well as distributions. What are the advantages of having this new element as part of the DSL? Well let’s say you’d like to release a project whose source language supports cross-platform compilation in a single node, say for example Go, Zig, or Rust. You’d typically define Read More

Releases Posted in 2024

Posted on by aalmiray

As we welcome 2025 is time to review 2024 in terms of releases. You can find reviews for previous years: 2021, 2022, 2023. 2024 saw a significant reduction in the number of releases posted, for a total of 28, compared to 42 and 59 in previous years. One of the reasons as mentioned in 2023 is that I no longer maintain as many Gradle plugins as I did in the past, but also I took an opportunity to concentrate on my well being, spend time away from the computer and enjoy the sights. Of the many lessons learned from the Read More
