This article depends on the maven-waf branch
Maven uses the notion of a build life-cycle to which plugins can attach. Plugins are similar to Ant tasks. When a Maven build is invoked, we specify a point in the life-cycle up to which the build should proceed. The compile phase comes before test, and test comes before package, and package comes before install. Once we have Maven setup, we can invoke the Struts build, and specify which phase the build should use.
Get Maven binary: http://maven.apache.org/download.html
For Mac and Linux:
Extract the latest stable binary release to /usr/local/maven
Add following to your .zshrc/.bashrc/.aliasrc:
export M2_HOME=/usr/local/maven export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
For Windows: FIXME
POMs are top level build configuration files.
To debug POMs, read through the effective POM:
$ mvn help:effective-pom
Running mvn in source root will download and setup dependency jars in ~/.m2/repository.
$ mvn
Some modules require dependencies that are not freely available or have an incompatible license. These dependencies you need to donwload yourself. See to following instructions to add them to your maven repository.
1. Download the following jars and put them in the deps directory:
2. Go into the deps directory and run install-non-oss.sh
$ cd deps $ ./install-non-oss.sh
$ mvn -P deps -pl deps
Running the maven command in the top directory of the CloudStack sources will compile all sources for CloudStack and run the unittests. The resulting jar files will be in the directory target in the subdirectory for a particular module. The default build will have all components that depends on non OpenSource libraries disabled. If you want to enable this, just add -D nonoss to the mvn command line.
$ mvn [-D nonoss]
Use waf to build packages for linux systems that use rpms, like RedHat, CentOS and fedora.
prerelease flag
This flag is required as this makes the RPM use the SNAPSHOT versions.
$ waf --package-version=4.0.0 --prerelease=rc1 --build-number=1 --oss rpm
This replaces the old ant debug, but you still have to deploy the database using 'ant deploydb' for now.
Under development
This feature is still being developed and tested, might not work as expected
