Getting Sun Jars ---------------- Some jar files can not distributed via http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2 (see http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-coping-with-sun-jars.html for further information). As this project depends on them, following procedure might be a prerequisite to starting the build (It has to be done only for the local repository and only once): make an empty directory and download the jars from following urls: http://java.sun.com/j2ee/connector/download.html (Version 1.0) http://java.sun.com/products/jta (Version 1.0.1B) http://java.sun.com/products/jaas/index-10.html (Version 1.0.01) http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/downloads/index.html (Version 1.3.2) http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html (Version 1.0.2) http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html (Some new and shiny version, then select ojdbc14.jar) Change into the directiory and execute following commands: mvn install:install-file -Dfile=connector.jar -DgroupId=javax.resource -DartifactId=connector -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jta-1_0_1B-classes.zip -DgroupId=javax.transaction -DartifactId=jta -Dversion=1.0.1B -Dpackaging=jar mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jaas-1_0_01.zip -DgroupId=javax.security -DartifactId=jaas -Dversion=1.0.01 -Dpackaging=jar mvn install:install-file -Dfile=mail.jar -DgroupId=javax.mail -DartifactId=mail -Dversion=1.3.2 -Dpackaging=jar mvn install:install-file -Dfile=activation.jar -DgroupId=javax.activation -DartifactId=activation -Dversion=1.0.2 -Dpackaging=jar mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ojdbc14.jar -DgroupId=ojdbc -DartifactId=ojdbc -Dversion=14 -Dpackaging=jar This fills the jars into your local repository (the poms are comming from ibiblio. Above urls are copied from the pom files, if you get stuck have a look at them, there might be a hint in there). Building on Unix ---------------- Run : $ mvn clean install The output of the build will be in build.log. To start continuum: $ cd continuum-webapp $ mvn jetty:run Or just deploy the webapp found in continuum-webapp/target. Building on Windows ------------------- NOTE: You need to have the source tree at the root of your disk because continuum build uses very long path and Windows doesn't support path length greater than 250 characters. Run : $ mvn clean install The output of the build will be in build.log. To start continuum: $ cd continuum-webapp $ mvn jetty:run Or just deploy the webapp found in continuum-webapp/target. Access continuum's web site --------------------------- Go to: http://localhost:9090/
