Build CombineExt

When you’ve cloned the source code:

git clone https://github.com/SemsProject/CombineExt

There are two supported options to build this project:

Build with Maven

Maven is a build automation tool. We ship a pom.xml together with the sources which tells maven about versions and dependencies. Thus, maven is able to resolve everything on its own and, in order to create the library, all you need to call is mvn package:

usr@srv $ mvn package

Results :

Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

That done, you’ll find the binaries in the target directory.

Build with Ant

Ant is an Apache tool for automating software build processes. There is a build.xml file included in the source code that tells ant what to do. Since ant is not able to resolve the dependencies you need to create a directory lib containing the following libraries:

BFLog

We defined multiple targets in the build.xml. They can be displayed by calling ant -p:

usr@srv $ ant -p
Buildfile: /path/to/CombineExt/build.xml

        Extensions for COMBINE

Main targets:

 clean    clean up
 compile  compile the source
 dist     generate the distribution
 init     initialize workspace
 sign     sign a dist
Default target: dist

clean up will delete all compiled files and produced libraries
compile compiles the source code
dist bundles all compiled binaries into a jar library

For example, to create the jar library just run ant dist:

usr@srv $ ant dist
Buildfile: /path/to/CombineExt/build.xml

init:

compile:
    [javac] Compiling 3 source files to /path/to/CombineExt/build

dist:
      [jar] Building jar: /path/to/CombineExt/dist/CombineExt-0.2.jar
      [jar] Building jar: /path/to/CombineExt/dist/CombineExt-0.2-fat.jar
