What exactly do the POM files do and are they necessary to keep? If not, can we put them in the GITIgnore?
Seems to be new with Version 8.0 and we aren't sure if we need to keep them or not.
Hello,
As talend Studio run job/build job is based on maven, we do need to use pom file to do management and maintenance.
The pom files were committed to git repository by Talend Studio before 7.3 and on this link https://help.talend.com/r/en-US/8.0/release-notes/data-integration-deprecated-and-removed-items
The deprecated features has an area for "Committing POM files to Git" which indicates that as of version 8, POM files are no longer committed to remote(we have stopped committing the pom files to git repositories in Talend 8). It become ready to generate when you want to use them. There is no necessary to add Ignore file by yourself.
Please have a look at this jira issue:
https://jira.talendforge.org/browse/TUP-29123
Best regards
Sabrina
You should really take care the pom.xml files are NOT committed to Git. They are maintained by the studio and should never be changed from another studio. Adding the whole pom folder to gitignore is a good idea!
