NAME

       Maven - Patches the POM files using the Maven dependency rules.

SYNOPSIS

       mh_patchpoms [option]...

DESCRIPTION

       Reads the file debian/$package.poms and transforms each POM file listed in the .poms file into a POM file
       using the Debian versions of the libraries. Also keeps a backup of each POM file which  can  be  restored
       with mh_unpatchpoms

OPTIONS

       -h --help: show this text

       -V --version: show the version

       -p<package> --package=<package>: package to act on

       -k --keep-pom-version: keep the original version of the POMs but,

              convert all other versions in dependencies and plugins If there is a parent POM, keeps its version
              except when the parent is already registered in the Maven repository

       -e<version>, --set-version=<version>: set the version for the POM,

              do not use the version declared in the POM file.

       -r<rules> --rules=<rules>: path to the file containing the

              rules to apply when cleaning the POM.  Optional, the default location is debian/maven.rules

       -R<rule>, --extra-rule=<rule>: extra rule to apply when cleaning the POM

              May occur multiple times, instead of or in addition to -r

       -u<rules> --published-rules=<rules>: path to the file containing the

              extra rules to publish in the property  debian.mavenRules  in  the  cleaned  POM.   Optional,  the
              default location is debian/maven.publishedRules

       -U<rule>, --extra-published-rule=<rule>: extra rule to publish

              May occur multiple times, instead of or in addition to -u

       -i<rules> --ignore-rules=<rules>: path to the file containing the

              rules  used  to remove certain dependencies from the cleaned POM Optional, the default location is
              debian/maven.ignoreRules

       -I<rule>, --extra-ignore-rule=<rule>: extra rule used to remove dependencies

              from the transformed POM May occur multiple times, instead of or in addition to -i

       -c<rules> --clean-ignore-rules=<rules>: path to the file containing the

              rules use to remove certain dependencies from the cleaned POM, in addition  to  the  ignore  rules
              specified  previously.  This  is useful in situations such as when the Maven clean target requires
              more  dependencies  or  plugins  to  ignore  than  the  build  target.   All  rules   defined   in
              clean-ignore-rules  will  be  added  to the existing rules in ignore-rules.  Optional, the default
              location is debian/maven.cleanIgnoreRules

       -s --no-rules: don't apply any rules for converting versions,

              do not even convert versions to the default 'debian' version

       --no-publish-used-rule: don't publish the rule used to transform

              a POM's own attributes in debian.mavenRules

       -d --debian-build: transform during a Debian build, which means that

              some POM elements will be removed

       -b --build-no-docs: if the build doesn't need to build documentation, use this

              option to remove some POM elements (in particular plugins) which are useless here and may  require
              extra dependencies and make the packaging harder.

       -m<repo root>--maven-repo=<repo root>: location of the Maven repository,

              used  to  force  the  versions of the Maven plugins used in the current POM file with the versions
              found in the repository

       -v --verbose: show more information while running

       -n --no-act: don't actually do anything, just print the results
