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 <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">    ....     <profiles>         ....         <profile>             <id>jboss-default</id>             <repositories>                 <!-- To resolve parent artifact -->                 <repository>                     <id>jboss-public-repository-group</id>                     <name>JBoss Public Repository Group</name>                     <url>http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>                 </repository>                 <repository>                     <id>jboss-snapshots-repository</id>                     <name>JBoss Snapshots Repository</name>                     <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/...                 </repository>             </repositories>             <pluginRepositories>                         <!-- To resolve parent artifact -->                         <pluginRepository>                                 <id>jboss-public-repository-group</id>                                 <name>JBoss Public Repository Group</name>                                 <url>http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>                         </pluginRepository>                         <pluginRepository>                                 <id>jboss-snapshots-repository</id>                                 <name>JBoss Snapshots Repository</name>                                 <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/...                         </pluginRepository>                 </pluginRepositories>         </profile>     </profiles>     <activeProfiles>         <activeProfile>jboss-default</activeProfile>         ...     </activeProfiles> </settings> # 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. Verify or Install? mvn verify will perform all build and test steps, but it won't install the bundles in your local repository. mvn install does install in you local repository. When an eclipse-plugin is installed in your repo, it is always used as default when resolving dependency. It is not possible to roll-back a local installation of a bundle, so in most cases, mvn verify is to be prefered to mvn install. However, if you want to build stuff sequentially through several maven invocations, and you want to resolve against just-built stuff, you'll need to use mvn install. In this page, we'll encourage people to use *mvn verify* as much as possible to ensure *isolation*; but you can mvn install the same way if your use-case requires it. +*What if I've already built something locally, but I want to build against the server version instead of my local repo?*+ There are http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Target_Platform#Locally_built_artifacts two approaches that work here: a) override temporarily when building, using -Dtycho.localArtifacts=ignore b) delete ~/.m2/repository/.meta/p2-local-metadata.properties 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&am... 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. Using published Target Platform definition (Recommended) unified.target refers to the dependency as published in the Target Platform repository. * Pros:* No additional thing to do than invoking Maven * Always up-to-date * Cons: Speed - (to evaluate) Consume it by adding *-Punified.target* to you Maven invocation command-line h3. Or, getting a local copy of the Target Platform * Pros: Speed +++ * Cons: Step to be repeated whenever https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build/tree/master/target-platforms target platforms change h4. Get it 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. Just remember to update your #settings.xml settings.xml file to point at the location where you unpacked it. 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/juno/SR0c/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/juno/SR0c/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/juno/SR0c/e420-wtp340.target... e420-wtp340.target.zip (current minimum TP) http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/juno/SR1a/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/juno/SR1a/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/juno/SR1a/e421-wtp341.target... e421-wtp341.target.zip (current maximum TP) and then unzip it : unzip *.target.zip -d /path/to/jbosstools-build/target-platforms/jbosstools-JunoSR0c/multiple/target/multiple.target.repo/   or unzip *.target.zip -d /path/to/jbosstools-build/target-platforms/jbosstools-JunoSR1a/multiple/target/multiple.target.repo/ h5. OR, use Maven to build it See #maven-nexus-resolution-problems Building Parent Pom & Target Platforms Locally #maven-nexus-resolution-problems # h4. Use it as a Maven mirror Once you get the target platform available locally, you can use it instead of the remote sites to save time. For this, we can simply use Tycho target-platform mirroring: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Target_Platform/Authentication_and_Mirrors#... http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Target_Platform/Authentication_and_Mirrors#... As example, you can simply edit to your ~/.m2/settings.xml the definition of the repositories to mirror: (replace /home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/.... by a path where your local repository actuaaly stands) <settings>      <mirrors> <!-- IMPORTANT: Sites in target platforms: must not have trailing slash! -->         <mirror>             <id>jenkins.jbosstools-JunoSR0c</id>             <mirrorOf>http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/juno/SR0c/REPO&l...             <url>file:///home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/target-platform_4.0.juno.SR0c/e420-wtp340.target/</url>             <layout>p2</layout>             <mirrorOfLayouts>p2</mirrorOfLayouts>         </mirror>         <mirror>             <id>jenkins.jbosstools-JunoSR1a</id>             <mirrorOf>http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/juno/SR1a/REPO&l...             <url>file:///home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/target-platform_4.0.juno.SR1a/e421-wtp341.target/</url>             <layout>p2</layout>             <mirrorOfLayouts>p2</mirrorOfLayouts>         </mirror>         <mirror>             <id>jenkins.jbdevstudio-JunoSR0c</id>             <mirrorOf>http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/updates/jbds-target-pla...             <url>file:///home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/jbds-target-platform_4.0.juno.SR0c/jbds600-e420-wtp340.target/</url>             <layout>p2</layout>             <mirrorOfLayouts>p2</mirrorOfLayouts>         </mirror>         <mirror>             <id>jenkins.jbdevstudio-JunoSR1a</id>             <mirrorOf>http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/updates/jbds-target-pla...             <url>file:///home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/jbds-target-platform_4.0.juno.SR1a/jbds600-e421-wtp341.target/</url>             <layout>p2</layout>             <mirrorOfLayouts>p2</mirrorOfLayouts>         </mirror>     </mirrors> </settings> h2. (Optional) Build parent and target platform This step is only useful if you are actually working on the parent or the target platforms and want to test local changes. Otherwise, Maven will simply retrieve parent and TP definitions from *https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/jboss/tools/ JBoss Nexus* to perform your build. See #maven-nexus-resolution-problems Building Parent Pom & Target Platforms Locally Sometimes, Maven can't find the upstream artifacts - parent pom, tycho plugins, minimum (Juno SR0) or maximum (Juno SR1 or later) target platforms. Or maybe you want to build them locally in order to see how Tycho builds them, or contribute a fix. To work around resolution problems, just build locally: {code} cd /tmp; git clone https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-maven-plugins git clone git://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-maven-plugins.git cd /tmp; git clone https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build git clone git://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build.git cd jbosstools-maven-plugins/tycho-plugins; mvn install; cd - cd jbosstools-build/parent;  mvn install; cd - cd jbosstools-build/target-platforms; mvn install -Pjbosstools-minimum,jbosstools-maximum {code} 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 example: *cd jbosstools-server* mvn verify -P unified.target *-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 jbosstools-server* mvn verify -P unified.target *-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/jbosstools-server mvn verify  -P unified.target -*Pbootstrap* h2. Building Everything In One Build Locally Via Commandline *LINUX / MAC USERS* cd jbosstools-build mvn clean install -gs ~/.m2/settings.xml | 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\jbosstools-build mvn3 clean verify -gs file:///${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml    or mvn3 clean verify -gs file:///${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml > build.all.log.txt Remember to adjust your #settings.xml settings.xml file to specify where you have your local target platform mirror built (or where you downloaded & unpacked a target platform zip. Windows users, if you don't have a .m2 folder, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6081617/missing-maven-m2-folder this article. 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/juno/ http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/juno/ 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/102-16604-63-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-6... 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/102-16604-63-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-6... 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 -B -fae -e 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/102-16604-63-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-6... On the *JRE* tab, make sure you're using a 6.0 JDK. https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-63-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-6... On the *Refresh* tab, define which workspace resources you want to refresh when the build's done. https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-63-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-6... 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/102-16604-63-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-6... Click *Run* to run the build. https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-16604-63-13... https://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-16604-6... 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-server/site/target/server.site-*.zip! or file:///home/rob/code/jbtools/jbosstools-server/site/target/repository/, and browse the site. If your component requires other upstream components to install, eg., jbosstools-server depends on jbosstools-base, 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. Dealing with timeouts for tests (To be rewritten soon...) http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jbosstools-dev/2012-September/005835.html http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jbosstools-dev/2012-September/005835.html 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 Juno-based 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 -------------------------------------------------------------- Comment by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-47936] Create a new document in JBoss Tools Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=102&a...]
