The current state of 7.12 maintenance jobs:

• 7.12-RELEASE-create-camunda-bpm-version-tags
  • build-mvn-poms.xml -propertyfile build-maintenance.properties (in JobDSL, maintained by Infra)
  • build-mvn-poms.properties (in XML)
• 7.12-RELEASE-build-camunda-bpm-maintenance-tags
  • build-release-ee-tag.xml -propertyfile build-maintenance.properties (in JobDSL, maintained by Infra)
  • build-mvn-poms.properties (in XML)

For 7.13 both properties (build-mvn-poms.properties and build-maintenance.properties) are almost identical.

In addition, there is a naming convention for the XML and properties files.

build-maintenance.xml is used for:

• create maintenance branches

build-maintenance.properties is used for:

• create maintenance branches
• maintenance release jobs as well
  the latter might create confusion.

Precedence of properties:

1. command line `-propertyfile build_1.properties`
2. `<property file="build_2.properties" />`

Suggestion:

• remove usage of build-maintenance.properties in 7.13 maintenance jobs (this is not possible for versions <= 7.12 due to differs in the files).
