Using Maven in development process

1 BundleTypes

• cd “workspaceDirectory”
• Download bundleTypes from this URL: http://svn.assembla.com/svn/cosi/bundleTypes/trunk/
• cd “bundleTypesDirectory”
  * Edit “systemPath” attributes in dependencies to artifactId typesCmp and javaTypes in pom.xml file. SystemPath is absolute path to libraries which are in directory ./libs.
• Install libs to maven local repository:
  • mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=cz.zcu.kiv -DartifactId=typesCmp -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/lib/cz.zcu.kiv.typesCmp-1.0.0.jar
  • mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javaTypes -DartifactId=javaTypes -Dversion=0.9 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/lib/javaTypes-0.9.jar
• mvn compile package install

2 Core

* cd “workspace_directory”
* Download core form this URL: http://svn.assembla.com/svn/cosi/core/trunk/CoSiContainer/
* cd “core_directory”
* mvn compile
* mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true package
* mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install
This is not necessary yet.

3 Loader

• cd “workspace_directory”
• Download loader from this URL: http://svn.assembla.com/svn/cosi/loader/trunk/
• cd “loader_directory”
• Now you could develop new functionality. Dependencies was installed in previous steps.
• mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=“cz.zcu.kiv.cosi.loader.TestingLoader” -Dexec.args=“path/to/bundle/bundle.jar”
