I guess I'm in dire need of some help with the (new?) build process.
Hi Jakob,
It seems that the new build process is a very hot topic recently. It's
not yet described in the wiki and thus scratching your head is of a
little help when in trouble ;)
To be honest I have tried to avoid moving to the new build procedure as
long as possible and didn't do anything with it. I remember that right
before the assembly module was cut off (2 days ago or so) I could build
Geronimo from the latest sources and worked with it. Not much, so if I
had had to upgrade yet, I would've not done anything (which is partialy
true nonetheless).
So, we're both in the same step.
After running
maven m:clean m:clean-repo new
in the source root, the build produces (among others) a distribution
named geronimo-jetty-j2ee-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip (in
~/.maven/repository/geronimo/distributions).
True.
This makes the unpackServer maven goal unhappy, so I the jetty-j2ee to
geronimo-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip (in the maven repository) to make unpackServer
happy.
Take a look at magicGBall sample app. I saw several differences between
it and ab, which may be of help.
I tried running maven m:default in the source root, but that didn't
produce anything in ~/.maven/repository/distributions.
Why did you do that at all?
I copied the dependency on the javamail-spec from the "main" project.pom.
The one in sandbox/adventurebuilder seemed to inherit a
geronimo_spec_javamail_version=1.0 from etc/project.propertis which
isn't healthy anymore.
Why? I thought that 1.0 is the latest version of any spec.
While trying to distribute the application (running maven -o in
sandbox/adventurebuilder) the deployer doesn't seem to recognize the
--offline option. This might be caused by my tinkering around with the
distribution files, so I guess I'd try to fix the above first.
I remember very vaguely that offline might not work. Try starting a
server and distribute then.
My repository is at version 356264; I'd expect this to be on the trunk,
not on the 1.0 branch, and I guess the trunk is where we wanna be,
considering the AB issue has been re-scheduled to 1.1.
Right.
Would you please correct me if I'm wrong regarding which branch to use?
HEAD.
So in short, could anyone (Jacek, maybe?) do anything to help me build
Geronimo in a form compatible with the deployment code in
sandbox/adventurebuilder.
Sure. I won't be available till 9 PM. I hope to find some time tonight
to work it out.
Just as welcome would be some instructions on how to avoid building the
server altogether; if I just remove all geronimo stuff from my local
repository and run maven -o in sandbox/adventurebuilder, the
unpackServer goal fails due to the distributions snapshop not being
present.
Absolutely right. You'd be better off doing it online so that you won't
have to build Geronimo yourself and download necessary dependencies as
needed.
Perhaps all that is needed is some maven dependency, but I have
not been able to figure out which.
Take a look at samples and copy necessary parts. It hasn't changed much,
I hope.
Keep up your excellent work! As long as you're working on it, I'm pretty
confident that it'll be deployed properly soon.
