I meant you could use the following when offline if you have run the check before:
mvn clean install … -Dxwiki.revapi.cache=true

Yes this is why on https://github.com/revapi/revapi/issues/31#issuecomment-200286810 I

By default it’s set to “true”. The idea is to use true when in offline mode.
ATM this can be done with this: mvn clean install … -Dxwiki.revapi.offline=true
-Dxwiki.revapi.cache=true Hi devs,
I’ve been thinking about how to improve our release process regarding the
backward compat checks (we were using clirr for this and now revapi).
In short the idea is:
* Store the revapi config (containing the list of breakages to ignore) in
a wiki page on xwiki.org, associated with a given release note. For
example in
ReleaseNotes.BackwardCompatibilityForXWiki${xwiki.version.major}${xwiki.version.minor}
(using
http://www.mojohaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/parse-version-mojo.html)
* Configure our build to download that json file and store it in target/
for revapi, see
https://github.com/revapi/revapi/issues/31#issuecomment-200286810
* Work on making it not fail the build when
offline (see
https://github.com/revapi/revapi/issues/31#issuecomment-200286810)
download-maven-plugin is caching the downloaded files by default (I'm using
it to download the CKEditor sources only once). I guess we won't be able to
use this feature because the revapi config can be modified multiple times
during a release dev. Unless we modify the URL in the pom whenever we
modify the wiki page (instead of modifying the URL only after each release). I’m trying to find ways to do that automatically when
maven is in offline mode so that running the following would be enough: mvn clean install
-o

* Write some groovy script in the release notes
template page to
Yep, me too. Being offline is not going to be an issue since I don’t believe we need to
run revapi when offline most of the time and with the cached file it would work most of
the time too.
However I’m more worried about the times when
- xwiki.org is down.
- when the user is behind a proxy
However with the “failOnError” property from
https://github.com/maven-download-plugin/maven-download-plugin/issues/48 that we could set
to false, we should be able to make it work. Of course, we’ll need to also skip the revapi
plugin when the config file isn’t present.
All in all it would be much easier if revapi were to implement
https://github.com/revapi/revapi/issues/31 and I don’t think it’s too difficult to do.
So in conclusion I still need to figure out a few little details but it looks like this
could improve a lot our RM work since there wouldn’t be anything to do from the RM POV :)
Thanks

WDYT?
Sound good. I'm only worried about the offline build issue.
