Building
Camel uses Maven as its build tool. If you don't fancy using Maven you can use your IDE directly or Download a distribution or JAR.
Prequisites
Required:
- Download and install Maven. (Currently Maven 2.2.1 is used to build the official releases)
- Get the latest Source
- Java 1.5
Optional:
- Prince should be in the executable PATH to generate the PDF documentation
Maven options
To build karaf, maven has to be configured to use more memory
Code Block |
---|
set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m |
A normal build
Code Block |
---|
mvn install |
Doing a Quick Build
The following avoids running all the unit test cases, we just skip the test running phase and not the building part
Code Block |
---|
mvn -DskipTests clean install |
Using an IDE
If you prefer to use an IDE then you can auto-generate the IDE's project files using maven plugins. e.g.
Code Block |
---|
mvn eclipse:eclipse |
or
Code Block |
---|
mvn idea:idea |
Importing into Eclipse
If you have not already done so, you will need to make Eclipse aware of the Maven repository so that it can build everything. In the preferences, go to Java->Build Path->Classpath and define a new Classpath Variable named M2_REPO that points to your local Maven repository (i.e., ~/.m2/repository
on Unix and c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.m2\repository
on Windows).
You can also get Maven to do this for you:
Code Block |
---|
mvn eclipse:add-maven-repo -Declipse.workspace=/path/to/the/workspace/ |
Building source jars
If you want to build jar files with the source code, that for instance Eclipse can important so you can debug the Camel code as well. Then you can run this command from the camel root folder:
Code Block |
---|
mvn clean source:jar install -Dtest=false |
