Welcome to Geronimo =================== To build me please install Maven from here - version 1.0.2 or later. http://maven.apache.org/ In addition you should have JDK 1.4.x installed with JAVA_HOME environment defined to point to this JDK. In the following examples, '$>' is your prompt, so if you see '$> maven', at your prompt, type in 'maven' (without the quotes) and then press [enter]. To build Geronimo running all of the unit test cases, compiling all the Geronimo sources and installing them in your local maven repository, simply type "maven" in the root of the Geronimo source tree: $> maven That command will run the default "new" target and compile Geronimo, using recent binary builds of OpenEJB and TranQL. In some cases synchronized changes are made to several of the projects at once, and you may have trouble building the HEAD code of Geronimo against the older binaries of OpenEJB of TranQL. In that case, you can run: $> maven m:co $> maven m:clean m:clean-repo new The first command checks out the latest OpenEJB and TranQL code, while the second cleans and previous build output and rebuilds Geronimo, OpenEJB, and TranQL from scratch. To run the server, change into one of the assemblies directory and start the server using a command like this: $> cd assemblies/j2ee-jetty-server $> cd target/geronimo-1.0 $> java -jar bin/server.jar To stop the server use ctrl-C or use the shutdown JAR. (See http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/Running for more information). To do a clean rebuild of Geronimo type $> maven m:clean m:clean-repo new To only build select modules (assumes that depends are installed already): $> maven -Dmodules=common,core To clean your workspace: $> maven clean NOTE: You need to build the server first for this to work due to a problem with dependencies & the reactor. To removal all build generated files: $> maven clobber
