Releasing java-test-applications

Snapshot releases (automated)

A GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/snapshot-release.yml) builds all applications on every push to main and publishes a rolling pre-release tagged v1.0.0-SNAPSHOT. Artifacts are replaced on each push.

You can also trigger it manually from any branch via Actions → Run workflow.

Artifacts published

Artifact Description Java Spring Boot
java-main-application-*.jar Standalone main-class app 21 4.1
java-task-application-*.jar CF run-task app 21 4.1
web-application-*.war Embedded Tomcat WAR 21 4.1
ejb-application-*.war Jakarta EE 10 EJB WAR 21 4.1
dist-zip-application-*.zip Distribution zip (scripts + libs) 21 4.1
java-main-application-boot3-*.jar Standalone main-class app 17 3.5

Fixed releases (via GitHub Actions)

Two ways to trigger a fixed release:

Option A — push a git tag (fully automated):

git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0

The workflow triggers automatically, derives version from the tag, builds, and publishes the release.

Option B — manual dispatch (no tag needed):

  1. Go to Actions → Publish Fixed Release → Run workflow
  2. Enter the version in X.Y.Z format (e.g. 1.0.0)
  3. Click Run workflow

Both paths:

  • Build all modules with -PreleaseVersion=<version> (no file changes needed)
  • Run tests as a quality gate
  • Create a GitHub release tagged v<version> with all artifacts attached

Note: Run from main (or the branch/commit you want to release). The version is applied at build time only — source files are not modified.

Manual alternative (without GitHub Actions)

If you need to release without the workflow:

  1. Commit, tag, and push (pushing the tag triggers the workflow automatically):

    git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0

  2. Or build locally and upload artifacts by hand:

    # Multi-module (Java 21)
./gradlew build -PreleaseVersion=1.0.0

# Standalone boot3 module (Java 17)
cd java-main-application-boot3
./gradlew bootJar -PreleaseVersion=1.0.0

Local build

Requires Java 21 (multi-module) and Java 17 (java-main-application-boot3).

# Multi-module (Java 21)
./gradlew assemble

# Standalone boot3 module (Java 17)
cd java-main-application-boot3
./gradlew bootJar
