Checksum Plugin

Overview

Performs an MD5 and an SHA1 checksum on project's main artifact and all attached artifact. Note that this behavior is also provided by the maven install plugin. The difference being that this plugin writes the checksums to the target directory rather than attaching them to the project.

Examples

The plugin is enabled via a build execution tag associated with the build's 'verify' phase. Note, for repeatable builds, you should 'peg' the plugin to a specific version as shown in the example below.

...
<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.bluestemsoftware.open.maven.plugin</groupId>
      <artifactId>checksum-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.0.0</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>sum-artifacts</id>
          <phase>verify</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>checksum</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
