Hello everyone, I created a launcher script for the trialox CMS TDB launcher that starts the platform with default parameters (JVM memory settings, file encoding, etc.). I thought this script would be useful for Clerezza as well. The script is automatically generated during the maven build process and can be configured in the POM file of the launcher project. Scripts are generated for Windows (batch script) and UNIX (shell script). To use the script it needs to be located in the same directory as the executable JAR file of the platform launcher (this happens automatically during the build process). All additional arguments given to the script are used forwarded to the JVM.
Example: script name: startclerezza.sh configured parameters: -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 executed as: startclerezza.sh -DlocalMode=true resulting command: java -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 -DlocalMode=true <launcher>.jar This script is useful to make people's life easier ;) But mainly it has been made for trialox customers that don't want to bother with command line arguments and to provide a convenient method of launching a binary distribution (if the script is given execution permission, it can be executed by double clicking on the script file in a desktop environment). My solution for the trialox CMS can be found here: http://scm.trialox.org/main/org.clerezza.cms.launcher.tdb/file/037e1d501dce The changes needed to make this work for a Cerezza launcher are: 1. copy the properties section and the maven resource plugin configuration into the POM file of a launcher project. 2. create the directory src/launcher-scripts 3. place the script templates (shell and batch script) in src/launcher-scripts (rename the scripts appropriately) When the project is built (mvn install), the usable scripts are placed in the target directory. The whole thing is inspired by the Maven AppAssembler plugin, however that plugin didn't support all the features I was looking for. I used the script generated by AppAssembler as a template for my solution. Regards, Daniel
