Scripts for performing development tasks

The tools directory contains several scripts which are useful for building and performing routine updates to the code base.

bump_maven_version.py

This updates the Maven POM version numbers for all pom.xml files that set groupId to ome. The script takes a single argument, which is the new version. For example, to update the POM versions prior to release:

./tools/bump_maven_version.py 5.1.0

and to switch back to snapshot versions immediately after release:

./tools/bump_maven_version.py 5.1.1-SNAPSHOT

test-build

This is the script used by Travis to test each commit. It compiles and runs tests on each of the components in the Bio-Formats repository according to the arguments specified. Valid arguments are:

  • clean: cleans the Maven build directories
  • maven: builds all Java components using Maven and runs unit tests
  • ant: builds all Java components using Ant and runs unit tests
  • all: equivalent of clean maven ant
