Re: [jbosside-dev] Building a standalone component for release using the releng system.

Hey guys... I'm sending this to everyone in case others want to use the build system to build a release of their component. First off you'll want to read over the Wiki for the JBossIDE release project which I created here: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossIDEReleaseProcess The process is pretty similar except a few changes: 1) You need to go into builders/product/build.properties.template and edit the "release.build.steps" and "builders" properties... Here is an example of what I'm using to succesfully build HibernateTools: (commented line is the original value) #release.build.steps=standalone.product,bundle.eclipse,tests release.build.steps=standalone.product,tests #builders=freemarker,hibernate-tools,core,as,aop,ejb3,jbpm,cache,drools-ide,jbossws builders=freemarker,hibernate-tools The builders property should have your builder and any builders you require, in the case of hibernate-tools the only required builder is freemarker. 2) The tags file that you create (see step 6 in above wiki) will only need tags for your component, it's dependent component, and for the unit tests. My tags file for a build of Hibernate Tools looks like: $ cat product/versionTags/3.2.0.beta9.tags hibernate-tools=beta9 freemarker=1.0.0.Beta2 hibernate-tools.cvs=TOOLS_3_2_0_beta8 freemarker.cvs=IDE_FREEMARKER_1_0_BETA2 tests=3.2.0.beta9 tests.cvs=HEAD In this case I used an old tag just to verify things were working, so Max you'd need to change that CVS tag to the one you make for your next release.
