Zoinks! What’s this? A blog post? The newly released #ApacheMaven 3.9.0 merged/enabled support for “splitting local repositories” - teasing apart that giant horrible ~/.m2/repository into cached downloads, locally installed releases, and most importantly - snapshots.

#Java #Builds #ContinuousIntegration #FeatureBranches

Of course #TBD (trunk based development) is great (but only if you have a great team). How horseshit is sold to us everyday. The fine print under your unicycle seat is that you must have experience riding a unicycle.

Use #featurebranches from a starting point when you last released to production, integrate continuously and merge to release branch when ready. Easy. No unfinished code in production is shipped.
