Maveniverse Nisse

Requirements:

• Java: 8+
• Maven: 3.8.x+

Nisse is a suite of extensions and plugins for Maven 3 and Maven 4 that provides following:

• in Maven 3 "fixes" the CI Friendly version support, as out of the box implementation is flaky (allows you to deploy broken POMs).
• provides "property sources", aggregates properties got from them, it may rename/translate property keys, and publishes properties to Maven.
• provides drop-in-replacement for discontinued OS Detector plugin.
• is extensible, one can add new property sources as needed.

Usage with Maven

There are 3 extensions: extension3 meant to be used with Maven 3 exclusively (does not work in Maven 4), then extension4 meant to be used with Maven 4 exclusively (does not work in Maven 3), and finally extension, that works in both, Maven 3 and Maven 4. Last is the recommended extension to be used. Use it like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extensions>
    <extension>
        <groupId>eu.maveniverse.maven.nisse</groupId>
        <artifactId>extension</artifactId>
        <version>${version.nisse}</version>
    </extension>
</extensions>

Note: Nisse can be used as "plugin only" as well, but functionality in this case is limited ONLY to providing properties for interpolation (within a project).

If you intend to use Nisse as OS Detector "drop in replacement", just add Nisse as extension to your project and specify -Dnisse.compat.osDetector on CLI or better, in .mvn/maven.config file.

Implemented Sources

There are 4 sources provided out of the box:

• file-source: it reads up a Java Properties File from disk and publishes that
• jgit-source: it uses Eclipse JGit to get some git related data
• mvn-source: it provides major/minor/patch versions of currently used Maven (note: Maven 4 already provides this from core)
• os-source: heavily inspired by OS Detector and made reusable

Look into ITs for usage examples.
