h2. Environment Setup
h3. Prerequisistes
1. Java 1.6 SDK
2. Maven 3.0.3
3. About 6 GB of free disk space if you want to run all integration tests for (JBoss AS, Seam and Web Services Tools) - *requires VPN access*
4. subversion client 1.6.X (should work with lower version as well, but newer versions may not work as expected)
h3. Maven and Java
Make sure your maven 3 is available by default and Java 1.6 is used.
mvn -version
should print out something like
*Apache Maven 3.0.3* (r1075438; 2011-02-28 12:31:09-0500)
*Java version: 1.6.0_25*, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
*Java home: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_25/jre*
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "2.6.42.3-2.fc15.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
h3. Maven settings
Follow https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15170 these instructions to add reference to JBoss Repositories into your settings.xml. You'll also probably need access to the SNAPSHOT repository. So here is what you should see in your ~/.m2/settings.xml

h3. Maven & Java Memory Configuration
To configure the amount of memory used by Maven, you can define MVN_OPTS as follows, either in the mvn / mvn.bat script you use to run Maven, or set as global environment variables. Here's how to do so for http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=262465 Fedora, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables Ubuntu, http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1152405.htm Windows, http://www.digitaledgesw.com/node/31 OSX.
{code}
set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
{code}
h2. About Target Platform and related profiles
The target platform (TP) lists all dependencies (coming from Eclipse.or and other 3rd-party update sites) that are used by JBoss Tools. This target platform is materialized as an Eclipse p2 repository (formerly update-site) that is used during build to resolve dependencies. Target Platform is managed by JBoss Tools people, and only dependencies from this TP are allowed to be used in code.
If you need a new dependency in the TP, feel free to https://issues.jboss.org/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10020&su... open a ticket to request it.
Here are several ways to build locally using this target platform. It's up to you to choose the one that match your needs:
h3. Getting a local copy of the Target Platform (Recommanded)
* Pros: Speed +++
* Cons: Step to be repeated whenever https://source.jboss.org/browse/JBossTools/trunk/build/target-platform/un... target platform changes
h4. Set up
h5. Download TP as a zip and install it by yourself
You can either download the TP as a zip and unpack it into some folder on your disk. For convenience, the easiest is to unzip into jbosstools/build/target-platform/REPO/, since that's where the Maven or Ant process will by default operate.
You can get it with a browser or a command line tool such as wget or curl at the following url: http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_3.3.indigo.SR2/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_3.3.indigo.S...<actualFilename>*+.target.zip
and then unzip it here (the default path for -Dlocal.site, which means you can call maven with +*-Plocal.site*+ and not need to pass in +*-Dlocal.site=file:///path/to/some/other/folder/*+ as well):
unzip *.target.zip -d jbosstools/build/target-platform/REPO/
*(Note that the default path used for <local.site> will change every time a new target platform is released which is a significant change over the previous (eg., SR1, SR2), so if this breaks because the default not points at an empty folder, it's time to get a new TP! Hurray for build-time notification you're using an old target platform!)*
h5. OR, use Maven+Ant to get it
In that case, you also need Ant 1.8.2 or later*.*
cd jbosstools/build/target-platform
mvn clean install -Pget.local.target
The get.local.target profile will resolve the target platform file, multiple.target, as a p2 repository on your local disk in ~/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/. It may take a while, so you're better off from a speed point-of-view simply fetching the latest zip [5]. However, if you want to see what actually happens to create the TP (as done in Hudson) this is the approach to take.
Since the Maven profile is simply a wrapper call to Ant, you can also use Ant 1.8 or later directly:
cd jbosstools/build/target-platform
ant help # show usage instructions
h4. Use
Just add -*P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///path/to/target/repository/*
*NOTE:* You must specify a path starting with *file:///* (three or more slashes) to avoid errors such as "+p2.core.ProvisionException URI has an authority component+".
Examples
*LINUX / MAC USERS*
cd build
mvn clean install -U -B -fae -e -*P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/*| tee build.all.log.txt
*WINDOWS USERS*
cd c:\trunk\build
mvn3 clean install -U -B -fae -e -Plocal.site *-Dlocal.site=file:///C:/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/* > build.all.log.txt
h3. Or resolving remotely with the Unified Target Platform
unified.target refers to the dependency as published in the Target Platfrom repository.
* Pros: No additional thing to do than invoking Maven
* Cons: Speed ---
Consume it by adding* +-Punified.target+* to you Maven invocation command-line
h2. (Optional) Build parent and target platform
This step is only useful if you are actually working on the parent or the target platform and want to test it locally. Otherwise, Maven will simply retrieve parent and TP from *https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/jboss/tools/ JBoss Nexus* to perform your build.
This is only necessary when the TP change, prior to 3.3.Beta3
svn co http://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk jbosstools
cd jbosstools/build/parent
mvn clean install
...
[INFO] Reactor Summary:
[INFO]
[INFO] JBoss Tools Target Platform Definition ............ SUCCESS [0.724s]
[INFO] JBoss Tools Parent ................................ SUCCESS [0.461s]
...
*NOTE: You need not fetch the entire JBoss Tools tree from SVN (or Git (http://divby0.blogspot.com/2011/01/howto-partially-clone-svn-repo-to-git....
*Instead, you can just fetch the build/ folder and one or more component folders, then as before,*
*build the parent pom. After that, go into the component folder and run maven there (#runmavenpercomponent).*
mkdir jbosstools
cd jbosstools
svn co http://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/ http://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/build
svn co http://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/ http://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/jmx
cd jbosstools/build/parent
mvn clean install

h2.
h2. Building Everything In One Build Locally Via Commandline
Assuming you have a local copy of the target platform in ${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ (as explained previously:
*LINUX / MAC USERS*
cd build
mvn clean install -P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ | tee build.all.log.txt
(tee is a program that pipes console output to BOTH console and a file so you can watch the build AND keep a log.)
*WINDOWS USERS*
cd c:\trunk\build
mvn3 clean install -P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///C:/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/
or
mvn3 clean install -Plocal.site -Dlocal.site=file:///C:/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ > build.all.log.txt
If you downloaded the zip and unpacked is somewhere else, use -Dlocal.site=file:///.../ to point at that folder instead.
#
h2. Building Individual Components Locally Via Commandline
h3. Build a component resolving to a recent aggregation build for other JBT dependencies (Recommanded)
* Pros:* You build only your component
* You only need source for your component
* Speed to resolve deps: +
* You get generally the latest build for you component
* Cons:* Takes some time to resolve dependencies on other component
* Can sometimes be out of sync if no build occured recently for a component you rely on and had some important change. More risk to get out of sync than with the staging site.
Tracked by https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11516 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11516
*cd jmx*
mvn clean install -P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ *-Pjbosstools-staging-aggregate*
h3. Build a component resolving to the latest CI builds for other JBT dependencies
* Pros:* You build only your component
* You only need source for your component
* You get generally the latest build for you component
* Cons* Takes some time to resolve dependencies on other component
* Can sometimes be out of sync if no build occured recently for a component you rely on and had some important change
* Speed to resolve deps: -
This profile is the one use for CI builds on Hudson.
*cd jmx*
mvn clean install -P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ *-Pjbosstools-nightly-staging-composite*
h3. Build a component along with all its dependencies from sources ("bootstrap" build)
This will build exactly what you have locally
* Pros:* You are sure of the version of sources that is used for your JBT dependencies
* You don't loose time in resolving your JBT deps
* Cons:* You need sources for your dependencies too
* You often build more stuff that what you really want to test
cd ~/trunk/build
mvn clean install -P local.site,*jmx-bootstrap* -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ | tee build.jmx.log.txt
#
h2. Building Locally In Eclipse
First, you must have installed m2eclipse into your Eclipse (or JBDS). You can install the currently supported version from this update site:
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/indigo/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/indigo/
Next, start up Eclipse or JBDS and do *File > Import* to import the project(s) you already checked out from SVN above into your workspace.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-45-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
Browse to where you have the project(s) checked out, and select a folder to import pom projects. In this case, I'm importing the parent pom (which refers to the target platform pom). Optionally, you can add these new projects to a working set to collect them in your Package Explorer view.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-45-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
Once the project(s) are imported, you'll want to build them. You can either do *CTRL-SHIFT-X,M (Run Maven Build),* or right-click the project and select *Run As > Maven Build*. The following screenshots show how to configure a build job.
First, on the *Main* tab, set a *Name*, *Goals*, *Profile*(s), and add a *Parameter*. Or, if you prefer, put everything in the *Goals* field for simplicity:
+clean install -U -B -fae -e -Plocal.site -Dlocal.site=file://home/nboldt/tmp/JBT_REPO_Indigo/+
Be sure to check *Resolve Workspace artifacts*, and, if you have a newer version of Maven installed, point your build at that *Maven Runtime* instead of the bundled one that ships with m2eclipse.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-45-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
On the *JRE* tab, make sure you're using a 6.0 JDK.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-45-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
On the *Refresh* tab, define which workspace resources you want to refresh when the build's done.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-45-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
On the *Common* tab, you can store the output of the build in a log file in case it's particularly long and you need to refer back to it.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-45-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
Click *Run* to run the build.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-45-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
Now you can repeat the above step to build any other component or plugin or feature or update site from the JBoss Tools repo. Simply import the project(s) and build them as above.
h2. Installation Testing - making sure your stuff can be installed
Each component, when built, produces a update site zip and an unpacked update site which can be used to install your freshly-built features and plugins into a running Eclipse or JBDS instance.
Simply point your Eclipse at that folder or zip, eg., jar:file:/home/rob/code/jbtools/jbosstools/trunk/runtime/site/target/runtime.site.zip! or file:///home/rob/code/jbtools/jbosstools/trunk/runtime/site/target/repository/, and browse the site. If your component requires other upstream components to install, eg., Runtime Detection depends on JBoss Common, you will also need to provide a URL from which Eclipse can resolve these missing dependencies. In order of freshness, you can use:
1. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/ (Nightly Trunk Site - updated every few hours or at least daily - *bleeding edge*)
2. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/_composite_/core/trunk/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/_composite_/core/trunk/ (Composite Staging Site - updated every time a component respins - *bleedinger edge*)
3. http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/build/aggregate/local-site/ http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/build/aggregate/local-site/ (see the README.txt for how to use this site to refer to things you built locally - *bleedingest edge*)
h2. Adding a new feature or plugin to an existing component
Need to tweak a component to add a new plugin or feature? See https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-18373 https://community.jboss.org/wiki/AddingAPluginandorFeatureToAnExistingCom....
h2.
h2. Tips and tricks for making BOTH PDE UI and headless Maven builds happy
It's fairly common to have plugins compiling in eclipse while tycho would not work. Basically you could say that tycho is far more picky compared to Eclipse PDE.
h3.
Check your build.properties
Check build.properties in your plugin. If it has warnings in Eclipse, you'll most likely end with tycho failing to compile your sources. You'll have to make sure that you correct all warnings.
Especially check your build.properties to have entries for *source..* and *output..* -- these are needed to *http://wiki.eclipse.org/Minerva#Source generate source plugins and features*.
*
*
source.. = src/
output.. = bin/
src.includes = *
src.excludes = src
bin.includes = <your own,\
list of,\
files for inclusion,\
in the jar>
h3. Check your manifest.mf dependencies
A new issue when building against juno shows that all compilation dependencies MUST be EXPLICITLY mentioned in your manifest.mf list of dependencies. A recent example of how this can cause compilation errors is the archives module, which failed to build due to the org.eclipse.ui.views plugin, and its IPropertySheetPage interface, not being found during the build. After investigation, it was discovered that the archives.ui plugin did not explicitly declare a dependency on org.eclipse.ui.views.
Inside eclipse and during indigo builds, however, the depencency was found and there were no compilation errors. This was because a plugin archives.ui explicitly dependend on (org.eclipse.ui.ide) had an explicit dependency on org.eclipse.ui.views. The IDE was able to see that archives.ui dependended on org.eclipse.ui.ide, and org.eclipse.ui.ide depended on org.eclipse.ui.views.
Resolving nested dependencies no longer seems to be guaranteed, and so anything you have a compilation dependency on must now be explicitly declared in your manifest.mf.

"Adding a Plugin (and/or Feature) To An Existing Component"

--------------------------------------------------------------
+First, read this document on how to build JBoss Tools components locally: https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16604 https://community.jboss.org/wiki/HowtoBuildJBossToolswithMaven3+
+Note: Before adding a complete new feature to JBoss Tools announce the addition on jbosstools-dev < mailto:jbosstools-dev@lists.jboss.org jbosstools-dev(a)lists.jboss.org> with reasons why+
+this have to be a new feature and what new (if any) dependencies it will bring in. Same goes for inclusion into Developer Studio - and remember that+
+not all features that make sense in JBoss Tools makes sense to include into JBoss Developer Studio.
+
h2. Adding a new plugin or feature to JBoss Tools
Now that you can build your component, you can easily add a new plugin to that component. Here's how.
0. Make sure your new plugin compiles in your workspace. Ensure your MANIFEST.MF contains all references/includes/requirements you need. Be sure to set the correct Bundle-RequireExecutionEnvironment (eg., JDK5 or JDK6).
1. When you are satisfied, you can commit your new plugin project to SVN.
cd ~/trunk/as/plugins; \
svn add org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core; \
svn ci -m "JBIDE-123456 Initial commit of new as.rse.core plugin" org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core
2. Next, add a pom.xml file to the root of your new project.
You can use m2eclipse to help w/ this if you have it installed; otherwise copy from another existing plugin project and edit appropriately. The version of the pom should match the version in the manifest.mf. Note that 3.2.0.qualifier (in MANIFEST.MF) is equivalent to 3.2.0-SNAPSHOT in the pom.xml.
3. Build your plugin:
cd ~/trunk/as/plugins/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core; \
mvn3 clean install
4. If your component's new plugin builds successfully, you can commit the pom.xml file, and add a reference to the new plugin (module) in the container pom:
vi ~/trunk/as/plugins/pom.xml
5. To ensure that your plugin is available on the update site, be sure that it is contained in at least one feature's feature.xml.
vi ~/trunk/as/features/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.feature/feature.xml
6. If necessary, create a new feature to contain the new plugin - easiest approach is to copy an existing feature project, and string-replace the various files until it suits your needs. Don't forget to update .project and other hidden files.
svn add org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.new.feature; \
svn ci -m "JBIDE-123456 Initial commit of new as.new feature" org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.new.feature
7. If your component's new feature builds successfully, you can commit the pom.xml file, and add a reference to the new plugin (module) in the container pom:
vi ~/trunk/as/features/pom.xml
h3. Verifying your new feature/plugin can be built and installed:
8. Next, ensure that the feature appears in all appropriate JBoss Tools update sites:
vi ~/trunk/as/site/category.xml # (the component's update site)
+
+
+ and one of the following+
vi ~/trunk/build/aggregate/site/site.xml # (the JBoss Tools aggregate update site)
vi ~/trunk/build/aggregate/coretests-site/site.xml # (the JBoss Tools aggregate update site for test plugins)
+
+
+ or one of these two sites:+
vi ~/trunk/build/aggregate/soa-site/site/site.xml # (the JBoss Tools aggregate update site for SOA Tooling)
vi ~/trunk/build/aggregate/soatests-site/site/site.xml # (the JBoss Tools aggregate update site for SOA Tooling test plugins)
+ Note: for *AS, Archives, and JMX features only*, you MAY want to add your new feature to this site too:+
vi ~/trunk/build/aggregate/webtools-site/site.xml # (the JBoss Tools aggregate update site for WTP adapters)
9. Finally, build the sites locally to ensure the XML is valid and the contents appear correctly. You can then install the new feature from the sites into Eclipse or JBDS to verify it runs as expected (no missing dependencies which prevent the plugin from being activated, no missing metadata such as description, provider, license or copyright while installing, etc.)
cd ~/trunk/as/; mvn clean install; # then point Eclipse at ~/trunk/as/site/target/repository/
+ and+
cd ~/trunk/build/aggregate/site; mvn clean install; # then point Eclipse at ~/trunk/build/aggregate/site/target/site/
h2.
h2. Adding a new plugin or feature to JBoss Developer Studio
10. Next, ensure that the feature appears in all appropriate JBoss Developer Studio update site:
vi ~/devstudio/trunk/product/site/site.xml # (the JBoss Developer Studio aggregate update site)
vi ~/devstudio/trunk/product-soa/site/site.xml # (the JBoss Developer Studio aggregate update site for SOA Tooling)
11. If you added a new feature, be sure that the feature is included in the JBDS feature (or wrapped inside another feature) so that it will appear in the installer.
vi ~/devstudio/trunk/product/features/com.jboss.jbds.product.feature/feature.xml
h3.
h3. Verifying your new feature/plugin can be built and installed:
12. Finally, build the sites locally to ensure the XML is valid and the contents appear correctly. You can then install the new feature from the sites into Eclipse or JBDS to verify it runs as expected (no missing dependencies which prevent the plugin from being activated, no missing metadata such as description, provider, license or copyright while installing, etc.)
*
*
cd ~/devstudio/trunk/product; mvn clean install -f pom-site-and-product.xml; # then point JBDS at ~/devstudio/trunk/product/features/com.jboss.jbds/target/repository/ (search for "Branded Product" feature, *com.jboss.jbds.all*)*
+ or+
cd ~/devstudio/trunk/product-soa; mvn clean install; # then point JBDS at ~/devstudio/trunk/product-soa/site/target/site/
+* - The product site in ~/devstudio/trunk/product/site/target/site/ does not contain the "Branded Product" feature, *com.jboss.jbds.all*, so you cannot use that site to update an existing JBDS install, only an Eclipse install.+

+*This article is a replacement for its precursor, https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15513 How to Build JBoss Tools 3.2 with Maven 3.*+
+*Note that this article only discusses building from trunk. If you need to build from a branch, or switch between branches and/or trunk, see* https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-17497 How to Build JBoss Tools With Maven3 - Working With Branches+.
h2. Environment Setup
h3. Prerequisistes
1. Java 1.6 SDK
2. Maven 3.0.3
3. About 6 GB of free disk space if you want to run all integration tests for (JBoss AS, Seam and Web Services Tools) - *requires VPN access*
4. subversion client 1.6.X (should work with lower version as well, but newer versions may not work as expected)
h3. Maven and Java
Make sure your maven 3 is available by default and Java 1.6 is used.
mvn -version
should print out something like
*Apache Maven 3.0.3* (r1075438; 2011-02-28 12:31:09-0500)
*Java version: 1.6.0_25*, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
*Java home: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_25/jre*
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "2.6.42.3-2.fc15.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
h3. Maven settings
Follow https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15170 these instructions to add reference to JBoss Repositories into your settings.xml. You'll also probably need access to the SNAPSHOT repository. So here is what you should see in your ~/.m2/settings.xml

h2. Maven & Java Memory Configuration
To configure the amount of memory used by Maven, you can define MVN_OPTS as follows, either in the mvn / mvn.bat script you use to run Maven, or set as global environment variables. Here's how to do so for http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=262465 Fedora, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables Ubuntu, http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1152405.htm Windows, http://www.digitaledgesw.com/node/31 OSX.
{code}
set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
{code}
h2. About Target Platform and related profiles
The target platform (TP) lists all dependencies (coming from Eclipse.or and other 3rd-party update sites) that are used by JBoss Tools. This target platform is materialized as an Eclipse p2 repository (formerly update-site) that is used during build to resolve dependencies. Target Platform is managed by JBoss Tools people, and only dependencies from this TP are allowed to be used in code.
If you need a new dependency in the TP, feel free to https://issues.jboss.org/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10020&su... open a ticket to request it.
Here are several ways to build locally using this target platform. It's up to you to choose the one that match your needs:
h3. Getting a local copy of the Target Platform (Recommanded)
* Pros: Speed +++
* Cons: Step to be repeated whenever https://source.jboss.org/browse/JBossTools/trunk/build/target-platform/un... target platform changes
h4. Set up
h5. Download TP as a zip and install it by yourself
You can either download the TP as a zip [5] and unpack it into some folder on your disk. For convenience, the easiest is to unzip into jbosstools/build/target-platform/REPO/, since that's where the Maven or Ant process will by default operate.
You can do that with any browser or on a command line with curl or similar:
curl -C - -O http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_3.3.indigo.SR2/<actualFilename>.target.zip
...
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 606M 100 606M 0 0 164k 0 1:02:54 1:02:54 --:--:-- 172k
and then unzip it here (the default path for -Dlocal.site, which means you can call maven with +*-Plocal.site*+ and not need to pass in +*-Dlocal.site=file:///path/to/some/other/folder/*+ as well):
mkdir -p ~/.m2/jbosstools-target-platform_3.3.indigo.SR2/
unzip *.target.zip -d ~/.m2/jbosstools-target-platform_3.3.indigo.SR2/
*(Note that the default path used for <local.site> will change every time a new target platform is released which is a significant change over the previous (eg., SR1, SR2), so if this breaks because the default not points at an empty folder, it's time to get a new TP! Hurray for build-time notification you're using an old target platform!)*
h5. OR, use Maven+Ant to get it
In that case, you also need Ant 1.8.2 or later*.*
cd jbosstools/build/target-platform
mvn clean install -Pget.local.target
The get.local.target profile will resolve the target platform file, multiple.target, as a p2 repository on your local disk in ~/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/. It may take a while, so you're better off from a speed point-of-view simply fetching the latest zip [5]. However, if you want to see what actually happens to create the TP (as done in Hudson) this is the approach to take.
Since the Maven profile is simply a wrapper call to Ant, you can also use Ant 1.8 or later directly:
cd jbosstools/build/target-platform
ant help # show usage instructions
h4. Use
Just add -*P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///path/to/target/repository/*
*NOTE:* You must specify a path starting with *file:///* (three or more slashes) to avoid errors such as "+p2.core.ProvisionException URI has an authority component+".
Examples
*LINUX / MAC USERS*
cd build
mvn clean install -U -B -fae -e -*P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/*| tee build.all.log.txt
*WINDOWS USERS*
cd c:\trunk\build
mvn3 clean install -U -B -fae -e -Plocal.site *-Dlocal.site=file:///C:/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/* > build.all.log.txt
#
h3. Or resolving remotely with the Unified Target Platform
unified.target refers to the dependency as published in the Target Platfrom repository.
* Pros: No additional thing to do than invoking Maven
* Cons: Speed ---
Consume it by adding* +-Punified.target+* to you Maven invocation command-line
h2. (Optional) Build parent and target platform
This step is only useful if you are actually working on the parent or the target platform and want to test it locally. Otherwise, Maven will simply retrieve parent and TP from *https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/jboss/tools/ JBoss Nexus* to perform your build.
This is only necessary when the TP change, prior to 3.3.Beta3
svn co http://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk jbosstools

*NOTE: You need not fetch the entire JBoss Tools tree from SVN (or Git (http://divby0.blogspot.com/2011/01/howto-partially-clone-svn-repo-to-git....
*Instead, you can just fetch the build/ folder and one or more component folders, then as before,*
*build the parent pom. After that, go into the component folder and run maven there (#runmavenpercomponent).*

h2. Building Everything In One Build Locally Via Commandline
Assuming you have a local copy of the target platform in ${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ (as explained previously:
*LINUX / MAC USERS*
cd build
mvn clean install -P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ | tee build.all.log.txt
(tee is a program that pipes console output to BOTH console and a file so you can watch the build AND keep a log.)
*WINDOWS USERS*
cd c:\trunk\build
mvn3 clean install -P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///C:/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/
or
mvn3 clean install -Plocal.site -Dlocal.site=file:///C:/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ > build.all.log.txt
If you downloaded the zip and unpacked is somewhere else, use -Dlocal.site=file:///.../ to point at that folder instead.
#
h2. Building Individual Components Locally Via Commandline
h3. Build a component resolving to a recent aggregation build for other JBT dependencies (Recommanded)
* Pros:* You build only your component
* You only need source for your component
* Speed to resolve deps: +
* You get generally the latest build for you component
* Cons:* Takes some time to resolve dependencies on other component
* Can sometimes be out of sync if no build occured recently for a component you rely on and had some important change. More risk to get out of sync than with the staging site.
Tracked by https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11516 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11516
*cd jmx*
mvn clean install -P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ *-Pjbosstools-staging-aggregate*
h3. Build a component resolving to the latest CI builds for other JBT dependencies
* Pros:* You build only your component
* You only need source for your component
* You get generally the latest build for you component
* Cons* Takes some time to resolve dependencies on other component
* Can sometimes be out of sync if no build occured recently for a component you rely on and had some important change
* Speed to resolve deps: -
This profile is the one use for CI builds on Hudson.
*cd jmx*
mvn clean install -P local.site -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ *-Pjbosstools-nightly-staging-composite*
h3. Build a component along with all its dependencies from sources ("bootstrap" build)
This will build exactly what you have locally
* Pros:* You are sure of the version of sources that is used for your JBT dependencies
* You don't loose time in resolving your JBT deps
* Cons:* You need sources for your dependencies too
* You often build more stuff that what you really want to test
cd ~/trunk/build
mvn clean install -P local.site,*jmx-bootstrap* -Dlocal.site=file:///${HOME}/trunk/build/target-platform/REPO/ | tee build.jmx.log.txt
#
h2. Building Locally In Eclipse
First, you must have installed m2eclipse into your Eclipse (or JBDS). You can install the currently supported version from this update site:
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/indigo/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/indigo/
Next, start up Eclipse or JBDS and do *File > Import* to import the project(s) you already checked out from SVN above into your workspace.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-43-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
Browse to where you have the project(s) checked out, and select a folder to import pom projects. In this case, I'm importing the parent pom (which refers to the target platform pom). Optionally, you can add these new projects to a working set to collect them in your Package Explorer view.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-43-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
Once the project(s) are imported, you'll want to build them. You can either do *CTRL-SHIFT-X,M (Run Maven Build),* or right-click the project and select *Run As > Maven Build*. The following screenshots show how to configure a build job.
First, on the *Main* tab, set a *Name*, *Goals*, *Profile*(s), and add a *Parameter*. Or, if you prefer, put everything in the *Goals* field for simplicity:
+clean install -U -B -fae -e -Plocal.site -Dlocal.site=file://home/nboldt/tmp/JBT_REPO_Indigo/+
Be sure to check *Resolve Workspace artifacts*, and, if you have a newer version of Maven installed, point your build at that *Maven Runtime* instead of the bundled one that ships with m2eclipse.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-43-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
On the *JRE* tab, make sure you're using a 6.0 JDK.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-43-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
On the *Refresh* tab, define which workspace resources you want to refresh when the build's done.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-43-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
On the *Common* tab, you can store the output of the build in a log file in case it's particularly long and you need to refer back to it.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-43-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
Click *Run* to run the build.
https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-43-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-4...
Now you can repeat the above step to build any other component or plugin or feature or update site from the JBoss Tools repo. Simply import the project(s) and build them as above.
h2. Installation Testing - making sure your stuff can be installed
Each component, when built, produces a update site zip and an unpacked update site which can be used to install your freshly-built features and plugins into a running Eclipse or JBDS instance.
Simply point your Eclipse at that folder or zip, eg., jar:file:/home/rob/code/jbtools/jbosstools/trunk/runtime/site/target/runtime.site.zip! or file:///home/rob/code/jbtools/jbosstools/trunk/runtime/site/target/repository/, and browse the site. If your component requires other upstream components to install, eg., Runtime Detection depends on JBoss Common, you will also need to provide a URL from which Eclipse can resolve these missing dependencies. In order of freshness, you can use:
1. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/ (Nightly Trunk Site - updated every few hours or at least daily - *bleeding edge*)
2. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/_composite_/core/trunk/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/_composite_/core/trunk/ (Composite Staging Site - updated every time a component respins - *bleedinger edge*)
3. http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/build/aggregate/local-site/ http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/build/aggregate/local-site/ (see the README.txt for how to use this site to refer to things you built locally - *bleedingest edge*)
h2. Adding a new feature or plugin to an existing component
Need to tweak a component to add a new plugin or feature? See https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-18373 https://community.jboss.org/wiki/AddingAPluginandorFeatureToAnExistingCom....
h2.
h2. Tips and tricks for making BOTH PDE UI and headless Maven builds happy
It's fairly common to have plugins compiling in eclipse while tycho would not work. Basically you could say that tycho is far more picky compared to Eclipse PDE.
h3.
Check your build.properties
Check build.properties in your plugin. If it has warnings in Eclipse, you'll most likely end with tycho failing to compile your sources. You'll have to make sure that you correct all warnings.
Especially check your build.properties to have entries for *source..* and *output..* -- these are needed to *http://wiki.eclipse.org/Minerva#Source generate source plugins and features*.
*
*
source.. = src/
output.. = bin/
src.includes = *
src.excludes = src
bin.includes = <your own,\
list of,\
files for inclusion,\
in the jar>
h3. Check your manifest.mf dependencies
A new issue when building against juno shows that all compilation dependencies MUST be EXPLICITLY mentioned in your manifest.mf list of dependencies. A recent example of how this can cause compilation errors is the archives module, which failed to build due to the org.eclipse.ui.views plugin, and its IPropertySheetPage interface, not being found during the build. After investigation, it was discovered that the archives.ui plugin did not explicitly declare a dependency on org.eclipse.ui.views.
Inside eclipse and during indigo builds, however, the depencency was found and there were no compilation errors. This was because a plugin archives.ui explicitly dependend on (org.eclipse.ui.ide) had an explicit dependency on org.eclipse.ui.views. The IDE was able to see that archives.ui dependended on org.eclipse.ui.ide, and org.eclipse.ui.ide depended on org.eclipse.ui.views.
Resolving nested dependencies no longer seems to be guaranteed, and so anything you have a compilation dependency on must now be explicitly declared in your manifest.mf.

+First, read this document on how to build JBoss Tools components locally: https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16604 https://community.jboss.org/wiki/HowtoBuildJBossToolswithMaven3+
h2. Adding a new plugin or feature to JBoss Tools
Now that you can build your component, you can easily add a new plugin to that component. Here's how.
0. Make sure your new plugin compiles in your workspace. Ensure your MANIFEST.MF contains all references/includes/requirements you need. Be sure to set the correct Bundle-RequireExecutionEnvironment (eg., JDK5 or JDK6).
1. When you are satisfied, you can commit your new plugin project to SVN.
cd ~/trunk/as/plugins; \
svn add org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core; \
svn ci -m "JBIDE-123456 Initial commit of new as.rse.core plugin" org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core
2. Next, add a pom.xml file to the root of your new project.
You can use m2eclipse to help w/ this if you have it installed; otherwise copy from another existing plugin project and edit appropriately. The version of the pom should match the version in the manifest.mf. Note that 3.2.0.qualifier (in MANIFEST.MF) is equivalent to 3.2.0-SNAPSHOT in the pom.xml.
3. Build your plugin:
cd ~/trunk/as/plugins/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.rse.core; \
mvn3 clean install
4. If your component's new plugin builds successfully, you can commit the pom.xml file, and add a reference to the new plugin (module) in the container pom:
vi ~/trunk/as/plugins/pom.xml
5. To ensure that your plugin is available on the update site, be sure that it is contained in at least one feature's feature.xml.
vi ~/trunk/as/features/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.feature/feature.xml
6. If necessary, create a new feature to contain the new plugin - easiest approach is to copy an existing feature project, and string-replace the various files until it suits your needs. Don't forget to update .project and other hidden files.
svn add org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.new.feature; \
svn ci -m "JBIDE-123456 Initial commit of new as.new feature" org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.new.feature
7. If your component's new feature builds successfully, you can commit the pom.xml file, and add a reference to the new plugin (module) in the container pom:
vi ~/trunk/as/features/pom.xml
8. Next, ensure that the feature appears in all appropriate JBoss Tools update sites:
vi ~/trunk/as/site/category.xml # (the component's update site)
vi ~/trunk/build/aggregate/site/site.xml # (the JBoss Tools aggregate update site)
9. Finally, build the sites locally to ensure the XML is valid and the contents appear correctly. You can then install the new feature from the sites into Eclipse or JBDS to verify it runs as expected (no missing dependencies which prevent the plugin from being activated, no missing metadata such as description, provider, license or copyright while installing, etc.)
cd ~/trunk/as/; mvn clean install; # then point Eclipse at ~/trunk/as/site/target/repository/
+ and+
cd ~/trunk/build/aggregate/site; mvn clean install; # then point Eclipse at ~/trunk/build/aggregate/site/target/site/
h2.
h2. Adding a new plugin or feature to JBoss Developer Studio
10. Next, ensure that the feature appears in all appropriate JBoss Developer Studio update site:
vi ~/devstudio/trunk/product/site/site.xml # (the JBoss Developer Studio aggregate update site)
11. If you added a new feature, be sure that the feature is included in the JBDS feature (or wrapped inside another feature) so that it will appear in the installer.
vi ~/devstudio/trunk/product/features/com.jboss.jbds.product.feature/feature.xml
12. Finally, build the sites locally to ensure the XML is valid and the contents appear correctly. You can then install the new feature from the sites into Eclipse or JBDS to verify it runs as expected (no missing dependencies which prevent the plugin from being activated, no missing metadata such as description, provider, license or copyright while installing, etc.)
*
*
cd ~/devstudio/trunk/product; mvn clean install; # then point *Eclipse* at ~/devstudio/trunk/product/site/target/site/ -- you won't be able to update JBDS using this site+ and+
cd ~/devstudio/trunk/product; mvn clean install -f pom-site-and-product.xml; # then point JBDS at ~/devstudio/trunk/product/features/com.jboss.jbds/target/repository/ and update the "Branded Product" feature, com.jboss.jbds.all

svn ci -m "JBIDE-123456 Initial commit of new as.new feature" org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.new.feature
7. If your component's new feature builds successfully, you can commit the pom.xml file, and add a reference to the new plugin (module) in the container pom:
vi ~/trunk/as/features/pom.xml
8. Next, ensure that the feature appears in all appropriate update sites:
vi ~/trunk/as/site/category.xml # (the component's update site)
vi ~/trunk/build/aggregate/site/site.xml # (the JBoss Tools aggregate update site)
vi ~/devstudio/trunk/product/site/site.xml # (the JBoss Developer Studio aggregate update site)
9. Finally, build the sites locally to ensure the XML is valid and the contents appear correctly. You can then install the new feature from the sites into Eclipse or JBDS to verify it runs as expected (no missing dependencies which prevent the plugin from being activated, no missing metadata such as description, provider, license or copyright while installing, etc.)
cd ~/trunk/as/; mvn clean install; # then point Eclipse at ~/trunk/as/site/target/repository/
+ and+
cd ~/trunk/build/aggregate/site; mvn clean install; # then point Eclipse at ~/trunk/build/aggregate/site/target/site/
cd ~/devstudio/trunk/product; mvn clean install; # then point Eclipse at ~/devstudio/trunk/product/site/target/site/
+ and+
cd ~/devstudio/trunk/product; mvn clean install -f pom-site-and-product.xml; # then point JBDS at ~/devstudio/trunk/product/features/com.jboss.jbds/target/repository/
