How can I fix this error?
Is there any (temporary) published artifact to test with?

Why not jar for arm64 windows and linux? https://github.blog/changelog/2025-08-07-arm64-hosted-runners-for-public-repositories-are-now-generally-available/
Also, can we drop jar from jarhdf5-2.0.0.jar? I think hdf5-2.0.0.jar is sufficient.

Why not jar for arm64 windows and linux? https://github.blog/changelog/2025-08-07-arm64-hosted-runners-for-public-repositories-are-now-generally-available/

Because we don't have binaries for those - create an issue.

byrnHDF · 2025-09-27T13:50:36Z

No, I would not change the naming at this time because of the intention to switch to FFM instead of JNI and history and compatibility. I think it would be too drastic of a change at this time. Also, it should be announced ahead of time. After this release, we should make announcement once we decide on plans.

byrnHDF · 2025-09-27T13:57:23Z

Changes suggested should be new issues.

I love the CLAUDE.md file. However, our goal should be a single set of customization methods that work with all (or most) tools. See, for example, Customize chat to your workflow.

📝 Inconsistent Quoting
Location: Multiple workflows Examples:

Inconsistent quoting styles

JAR_FILES=$(find ./artifacts -name "*.jar" -not -name "test" | tr '\n' ',' | sed 's/,$//')
file_size=$(stat -c%s "${jar_file}" 2>/dev/null || stat -f%z "${jar_file}" 2>/dev/null || echo "0")
Recommendation: Use "${var}" consistently for all variable expansions.

brtnfld · 2025-10-07T17:01:55Z

CLAUDE.md

Remove. We will add Claude.md files separately.

.github/workflows/maven-deploy.yml

🔴 SECURITY VULNERABILITY - Secret Exposure
Location: .github/workflows/maven-deploy.yml:62-64

name: Identify GPG Status
id: set-gpg-state
env:
gpg_secret: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
run: |
if [[ '${{ env.gpg_secret }}' == '' ]] # ⚠️ POTENTIAL SECRET LEAK
Problem: Using ${{ env.gpg_secret }} in conditional could expose secret in logs if GitHub Actions debug logging is enabled. Fix:
run: |
if [[ -z "$gpg_secret" ]]; then # Use env var directly, not expansion
GPG_VAL="notexists"
else
GPG_VAL="exists"
fi

Location: .github/workflows/maven-deploy.yml:69
if [[ '${{ env.gpg_secret }}' == '' ]]
then
GPG_VAL=$(echo 'notexists')
else
CPG_VAL=$(echo 'exists') # ⚠️ TYPO: CPG_VAL should be GPG_VAL
fi
echo "HAVEGPG=$GPG_VAL" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT # Uses GPG_VAL, but else branch sets CPG_VAL
Impact: When GPG key exists, $GPG_VAL is undefined, so output will be empty string → GPG signing will never work.

🔴 RACE CONDITION: Artifact Dependency
Location: .github/workflows/maven-deploy.yml:66-69
validate-artifacts:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: [] # ⚠️ NO DEPENDENCY ON BUILD JOB
steps:
- name: Download Linux artifacts
uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
with:
name: Linux-${{ inputs.preset_name }}-artifacts
Problem: No guarantee artifacts exist when download runs. Workflow should depend on the job that creates these artifacts. Fix: Add needs: [build-artifacts] or similar dependency.

Again these comments are incorrect - the security comment I think is wrong as we are not using the value as a secret and only checking that it exists - I believe this is the recommended usage, unless proved otherwise.

.github/workflows/maven-staging.yml

🟡 INCOMPLETE ERROR HANDLING
Location: .github/workflows/maven-staging.yml:177-180
if [ -d "hdf5${{ github.workspace }}" ]; then
mv hdf5${{ github.workspace }}/* hdf5/ || true # ⚠️ Silently ignores failures
rmdir hdf5${{ github.workspace }} || true
fi
Problem: || true masks legitimate errors. If mv fails due to permissions/disk space, build continues silently.

This will change in the next PR

brtnfld · 2025-10-07T17:28:14Z

.github/scripts/validate-maven-artifacts.sh

🔴 RACE CONDITION: Artifact Dependency
Location: .github/workflows/maven-deploy.yml:66-69
validate-artifacts:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: [] # ⚠️ NO DEPENDENCY ON BUILD JOB
steps:
- name: Download Linux artifacts
uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
with:
name: Linux-${{ inputs.preset_name }}-artifacts
Problem: No guarantee artifacts exist when download runs. Workflow should depend on the job that creates these artifacts. Fix: Add needs: [build-artifacts] or similar dependency.

CODE QUALITY ISSUES (Medium Priority)
📝 Excessive Code Comments
Location: .github/scripts/validate-maven-artifacts.sh Issue: 516-line script has good structure but overly verbose comments. Example:

Java/Maven environment validation

validate_environment() {
log_info "Validating build environment..."

# Check Java availability # ⚠️ Function name already says this if ! command -v java &> /dev/null; then

Recommendation: Remove redundant comments, keep only non-obvious logic explanations.

📝 Magic Numbers
Location: .github/scripts/validate-maven-artifacts.sh:107
if [[ ${file_size} -lt 1024 ]]; then # ⚠️ What's special about 1KB?
Fix: Define constants:
readonly MIN_JAR_SIZE_BYTES=1024 # Minimum valid JAR file size

maven-deploy is a callable workflow that is called after the artifacts are uploaded - test-maven-deployment.yml file. So these comments are out of context.

java/src/hdf/hdf5lib/pom.xml.in

📝 Hard-Coded Paths
Location: java/src/hdf/hdf5lib/pom.xml.in
https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/blob/develop/LICENSE
Problem: Hard-codes develop branch. Should use @HDF5_VERSION_TAG@ or similar variable.

Will investigate

https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/blob/develop is used in documentation. This is only instance in the pom.xml files and only to the LICENSE file. Where is HDF5_VERSION_TAG set?

brtnfld · 2025-10-07T17:33:52Z

ENHANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES (Low Priority)
💡 Missing Platform Classifiers
Location: java/src/hdf/hdf5lib/pom.xml.in:48-50
<hdf5.platform>@HDF5_MAVEN_PLATFORM@</hdf5.platform>
<hdf5.architecture>@HDF5_MAVEN_ARCHITECTURE@</hdf5.architecture>
Enhancement: Properties defined but not used in . For multi-platform JNI libraries, should generate:
hdf5-java-2.0.0-linux-x86_64.jar
hdf5-java-2.0.0-windows-x86_64.jar
hdf5-java-2.0.0-macos-aarch64.jar
Implementation:


<build>
  <finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-${hdf5.platform}-${hdf5.architecture}</finalName>
</build>

💡 Missing Source/Javadoc JARs
Requirement: Maven Central requires -sources.jar and -javadoc.jar artifacts. Current state: Only main JAR is generated. Add to CMake:
add_custom_target(maven-javadoc
COMMAND ${Java_JAVADOC_EXECUTABLE} -d javadoc -sourcepath ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
COMMAND ${Java_JAR_EXECUTABLE} cf ${PROJECT_NAME}-${VERSION}-javadoc.jar -C javadoc .
)
💡 No Checksum Validation
Location: .github/workflows/maven-deploy.yml Enhancement: Add SHA-256/MD5 checksum validation for downloaded artifacts:

name: Validate artifact integrity
run: |
sha256sum -c artifacts.sha256
💡 Limited Dry-Run Testing
Current: dry_run parameter exists but minimal validation. Enhancement: Add actual deployment simulation:
if [[ "${DRY_RUN}" == "true" ]]; then
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DaltDeploymentRepository=local::file://./local-repo [...]
echo "Dry run: would deploy to ${REPOSITORY_URL}"
fi
💡 No Version Validation
Missing: Validation that Maven version matches HDF5 version. Add to validation script:
validate_version_consistency() {
local pom_version jar_manifest_version
pom_version=$(xmllint --xpath '/project/version/text()' pom.xml)
jar_manifest_version=$(unzip -p "$jar_file" META-INF/MANIFEST.MF | grep Implementation-Version | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' ')

if [[ "$pom_version" != "$jar_manifest_version" ]]; then
add_error "Version mismatch: POM=$pom_version, JAR=$jar_manifest_version"
fi
}
💡 Workflow Timeout Missing
Location: All Maven workflow jobs Current: No timeout-minutes specified → jobs can hang indefinitely. Add:
jobs:
deploy-maven:
timeout-minutes: 30 # Prevent runaway jobs

BEST PRACTICES VIOLATIONS
⚠️ Development Artifacts in Production
BUILD_SYSTEM_SUMMARY.md (223 lines)
CLAUDE.md (142 lines)
MAVEN_INTEGRATION_PLANNING.md (257 lines)
SESSION_SUMMARY_2025-09-16.md (107 lines)

Action: Remove or move to /docs/development/ or wiki.
⚠️ Snapshot Version Strategy Unclear
Location: CMakeBuildOptions.cmake
option (HDF5_MAVEN_SNAPSHOT "Build Maven snapshot versions with -SNAPSHOT suffix" OFF)
Issue: No documentation on:
When to enable snapshots (CI? Nightly builds?)
How snapshot cleanup is handled
Retention policy for snapshot artifacts
⚠️ No Rollback Strategy
Missing: If deployment fails midway through multi-platform upload, how to clean up partial artifacts? Recommendation: Document rollback procedure or implement atomic deployment using staging repository.
