Description¶
Making your changelogs fetchable¶
In case you are publishing artifacts and you want to ensure that your changelogs are fetchable by Renovate, you need to configure the scm section on their pom.xml file.
For example:
<scm>
<url>scm:git:https://github.com/path_to_repository</url>
</scm>
This is what allows Renovate to determine the sourceUrl, that it then uses to fetch the changelogs.
Note
This also works for private repositories.
It can leverage the same token that you had to configure in order to be able to reach the private Artifactory.
Specifying your project homepage¶
When opening a Pull Request Renovate uses the top level url property to determine the homepage of your project and shows it inside the Pull Request.
To customize you can set it inside your pom.xml.
For example:
<url>https://project.example.com</url>
latest and release tags¶
When latest or release values are present in a package's maven-metadata.xml, Renovate will map these to its tags concept.
This enables the use of Renovate's followTag feature.
