This is still a work in progress...
Prerequisites -
- J2SE SDK 1.4.2 (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/)
- Apache Maven 2.0.4 (http://maven.apache.org)
- Subversion 1.2.0 (http://subversion.tigris.org/) - any version greater than 1.0 should work well.
Checkout Geronimo
$> svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/svkmerge/m2migration m2migration
To avoid failures during downloads from the ibiblio repository, it's advisable to define a mirror for the central
m2 repository before running. Add the following lines to your ~/.m2/settings.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<settings>
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>repo.mergere.com</id>
<url>http://repo.mergere.com/maven2</url>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
</settings>
Building for the first time
If you are building for the first time, a little patience is required.
$> cd m2migration
$> ./bootstrap
Warning
The bootstrap script will remove your local Maven2 repository cache and will take maybe 30 minutes or so to run... more or less depending on how fast your network connection is.
NOTE: Windows users need to run bootstrap
from a Cygwin environment and should probably run these steps from the root of a drive (c:, d:, etc) to better ensure that the long filename problem is not an issue when testing.
After this you can build all the components any time using -
$> mvn clean install
Other Useful commands
To prepare Geronimo for Eclipse, i.e to create .classpath and .project files
mvn -o eclipse:eclipse
