Building the new AstroRuntime^?

http://software.astrogrid.org/beta/ar/

I encountered some problems on getting this to work.

Setup

Maven 1.0.2

Problems and fixes

• Java version, due to xslt library problems you should be running Java 1.4.2 otherwise you'll get complaints about the XSLT libraries not being found
• Clover plugin
  • Need to run maven with -Dmaven.repo.remote=http://ibiblio.org/maven to ensure that missing plugins are downloaded
  • Need to upgrade clover plugin to avoid licensing issues with
    • maven -DgroupId=maven -Dversion=1.11 -DartifactId=maven-clover-plugin -Dmaven.repo.remote=http://ibiblio.org/maven plugin:download
  • Ditto xdoc
    • maven -DgroupId=maven -Dversion=1.9.2 -DartifactId=maven-xdoc-plugin -Dmaven.repo.remote=http://ibiblio.org/maven plugin:download
• Ensure that your copy of the aggregate project is up to date

--++ Building

• cd to api and do a maven astrogrid-install-artifact
• ditto userdocs
• do a maven eclipse in impl. Copy the .classpath to the parent directory and manually edit the source location (add in impl/src/java and impl/test/java) STOP PRESS According to Noel, the latest version of Eclipse allows nested projects and may solve this.

--++ Running Go into org.astrogrid and use the appropriate entry point class e.g. PlasticHub^?.java -- JohnTaylor - 01 May 2006
