This will create a MacOS X standard directory layout and startup configuration for use with launchd.

Note that this does not give all possible methods of downloading and building. Those are described in the Installation Procedures for UNIX.

Therefore it is assumed that you have a binary .tar.gz at ~/Download/apache-servicemix-3.x.tar.gz.

Directory Setup

  1. sudo mkdir /Library/ServiceMix
  2. cd /Library/ServiceMix
  3. sudo mkdir Versions
  4. cd Versions
  5. sudo tar -xzf /Download/apache-servicemix-3.2.tar.gz
  6. sudo ln -s apache-servicemix-3.2 Current
  7. cd ..
  8. sudo ln -s Versions/Current/bin/ bin
  9. sudo ln -s Versions/Current/conf/ conf
  10. sudo ln -s Versions/Current/data/ data
  11. sudo ln -s Versions/Current/examples/ examples
  12. sudo ln -s Versions/Current/hotdeploy/ hotdeploy
  13. sudo ln -s Versions/Current/lib/ lib

Note that this assumes the 3.2 directory layout which contains a hotdeploy. For earlier versions replace the hotdeploy with a soft link for deploy and install.
