Quickstarts and Tooling Automation
by Rafael Benevides
Hi all,
JDF is growing each day. As a consequence, keep the quickstarts
consistent is becoming a hard work.
To mitigate this and help the maintenance of the quickstart and also to
help the contributors to see if their quickstarts are ready to review,
we are planning and starting the development of a tooling for quickstart
automation.
This tool will make use of some other well know and opensource projects
like PMD (pmd.sf.net), checkstyke (checkstyle.sf.net), Maven Enforcer
plugin, etc to attend the following requirements:
* Validating quickstart POM files:
o Check for the License header (checkstyle headers
<http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_header.html>)
o Check for proper spacing and Indentation (trycheckstyle
<http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/>-whitespace rule
<http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_whitespace.html>andindentation
rule
<http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/config_misc.html#Indentation>)
o Check and verify if all quickstarts are using the same/latest
BOM versions
o Verify is it using the standard properties names (We will
provide the standard properties name)
o Check for non bom versions (and identify if we should create a
new BOM)
o Check javascript and css versions
o Check for duplicate properties and dependencies
o Check the pom.xml elements order
o Create scripts to update versions (quickstart, boms, etc)
o When a new quickstart is added, if it has a pom.xml file, make
sure the <module> is defined in one of the following profiles:
default, requires-postgres, complex-dependencies, requires-full,
requires-xts, non-maven.
* Validating quickstart README files:
o Check for the required metadata tags in README (Level, Author,
Target Product, etc)
o Verify the quickstart name in the README matches the folder name
and the project name
* Validating quickstart source code
o Check the quantity of comments in the code (evaluatePMD
<http://pmd.sourceforge.net/pmd-5.0.2/rules/java/comments.html>)
* General validation (desired):
o If a quickstart with a source other than the current repository
is modified, create an alert of some sort so we can notify the
upstream repository of the change.
o When we update a BOM property version in the quickstarts, we
need to make the same changes in the archetypes.
o Also, if there is a code fix in the kitchensink or
kitchensink-ear, we need to make the same fix in the archetype
code and check other quickstarts based on the same archetype to
see if they need the fixes applied.
If you have some comments, I will be glad to hear you.
Thanks
