Susan,
The way to do it without altering the code in place requires creating a
custom maven project within the dspace/modules/ directory, wiring it
into the dspace/pom.xml and dspace/modules/pom.xml so that it compiles
into the build process.
At this point, I'm seeing community member using both approaches, and
I'm unsure which I would most recommend. But here's what I try to
approach as a best practice.
1.) I don't like to alter code in place in dspace-api, dspace-xmlui or
any of those projects unless I intend to contribute it into the next
release of DSpace 1.5.x
2.) Keeping all those projects around lengthens the build process and if
your not using all of them (dspace-sword, lni, etc) thats a lot of
compile time for nothing.
3.) Once configured properly, your changes in dspace/modules/xxx will
always be separate from the rest of the codebase, but you will still
need to verify that upgrades don't break your customizations by
comparing your code to the original. Something we continue to strive to
get away from.
So I would recommend the following steps:
a.) create a dspace/modules/custom-api/pom.xml for your api changes.
That looks something like the attached pom.xml
