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

[Marshall Culpepper]

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.
