Environment

When not explicitly set, the value of the following properties may be resolved from an environment variable or a system property as shown in the table. The system property takes precedence over the environment variable.

System Property Environment Variable

active

jreleaser.assemble.archive.${name}.active
jreleaser.assemble.archive.active

JRELEASER_ASSEMBLE_ARCHIVE_${name}_ACTIVE
JRELEASER_ASSEMBLE_ARCHIVE_ACTIVE
Substitute ${name} for the value of the named instance.

Space (' '), underscore (_), and dash (-) will be replaced by dot (.) to separate tokens in the System property. Space (' '), dash (-), and dot (.) will be replaced by underscore (_) to separate tokens in the environment variable, such that:

${name} System Property Environment Variable

foobar

foobar

FOOBAR

fooBar

foobar

FOOBAR

foo bar

foo.bar

FOO_BAR

foo-bar

foo.bar

FOO_BAR

foo_bar

foo.bar

FOO_BAR

foo.bar

foo.bar

FOO_BAR

Templates

The default location for templates is:

src/jreleaser/assemblers/<distribution-name>/archive

Any additional files found in the template directories will be copied as is unless their filename ends with .tpl in which case Name Templates substitution will take place.

Skip Templates

You may skip any template files by defining a set of skip rules in the skipTemplates property. For example, you may use any of these expressions to skip a template named README.md.tpl:

  • README.md.tpl: matches the full template name

  • README.md: matches the transformed template name

  • README.*: matches using a regex

Additional Files

There are several ways to define additional files that may be handled by this assembler.

Templates

  • You may use Name Templates inside the files to be copied.

  • They retain directory structure that is, a template found at {templateDirectory}/foo.txt.tpl will be copied as foo.txt while a template such as {templateDirectory}/docs/bar.md.tpl will be copied to docs/bar.md.

FileSets

  • May use globs or regexes to define files to be included from a starting directory.

  • They retain directory structure.

  • May rename the target parent directory.

Files

  • May use globs or regexes to define files to be included from a starting directory.

  • They do not retain directory structure. Only filenames are copied.

Artifacts

  • They do not retain directory structure by default. An artifact with path set to bin/launcher.sh will be copied to launcher.sh.

  • May use the transform property to define the target path. An artifact with path set to bin/launcher.sh and transform set to bin/{{projectName}} will be copied to bin/app [assuming projectName resolves to app].

  • May use the platform property to filter files per matching platform. An artifact with platform set to windows-x86_64 will only be copied when the matching platform is compatible with windows-x86_64.

  • Artifacts without an explicit platform won’t be filtered.

This assembler ignores filtering artifacts by platform when attachPlatform is not enabled.
