We are working on a legacy project and the first task is to setup a DevOps
for the same. The important thing is we are very new to this area.
We are planning to use Jenkins and sonarqube for the purpose initially. Let
me start with the requirements.
- Currently the the project is sub divided into multiple projects (not
modules)
- We had to follow this build structure as there is no plans for
re-organizing it as a single multi-module maven project
- Currently the builds and dependencies are managed manually
Eg: The project is subdivided into 5 individual multi-module maven
projects, say A,B,C,D and E
1. A and C are completely independent and can be easly built
2. B depends on the artifact generated by A (jar) and has multiple
maven profiles (say tomcat and WebSphere, it is a web-service module)
3. D depends on the artifact generated by C
4. E depends on A, B and D and has multiple maven profiles (say
tomcat and WebSphere, it is a web project
Based on Jenkins documentation to handle this scenario, we are thinking
about parameterized builds using “parameterized build plugin" and "extended
choice parameter plugin" with the help of these plugins we are able to
parameterize the profile name. But before each build, the builder waits for
the profile parameter.
So we are still searching to find an optimum answer to the following
questions:
1. keep the dependency between projects an built the whole projects if
there is any change in SCM (SVN). For that we are used "Build whenever a
SNAPSHOT dependency is built" and "SCM polling option". Unfortunately this
option seems not working in our case (we have given an interval of 5 min
for scm polling but no build is happening based on test commits)
2. Even though we are able to parameterize the profile, this seems as
a manual step (is there an option to automate this part too, ie. build with
tomcat profile and WebSphere profile should happen sequentially).
We are struggling to find a solution to cater all these core requirements.
Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, San
