Quick Guide to Maven for Axis 2.0

Quick Guide to Maven for Axis 2.0

Introduction

Maven 2 is used as the build environment for Axis2. This document will provide a quick guide on how to use Maven with our project.

Commands

Command	Description
mvn clean	Cleans all the content built so far in the target/ folder. This will not delete jars from your local repository.
mvn install	Run a full build.
mvn test	Runs our basic test suite.
mvn clean test	Cleans up, rebuilds everything from scratch, and then runs the basic test suite.
mvn -Dtest=MyTest install	run a single test (cd to the specific module say kernel before running this and don't use the package name of the class, just the class name).
mvn dependency:resolve	print dependencies under any module
mvn site	Generates the website in target/site/
mvn idea:idea	Generates IDEA .ipr, .iml and .iws project files.
mvn -Dtest=false	Builds Axis2 and skips all the tests.
mvn -U -Drelease clean install	Generate release artifacts.

Notes:

• The "-U" ensures that you fetch the latest snapshots
• The "-Drelease" runs the pom.xml under modules/distribution. The zip's are created under modules/distribution/target
• To skip tests use "-Dtest=false"
• If you run into an exception, switch on printing of full exception using "-e"
• If you want to see the versbose output, use "-X"

Ant helper for the m2 build

If you prefer to use Ant, we have a build.xml. Please note that there are 2 maven2 plugins that need to be built first when you update version # for Axis2. the ant build.xml takes care of that automatically. It builds axis2-aar-maven-plugin and axis2-mar-maven-plugin before it runs the main build.

Command	Description
ant clean"	cleans up
ant install"	runs the build
ant deploy"	deploys artifacts in apache m2 snapshots repo
ant -Doffline=true clean"	offline clean up
ant -Doffline=true install"	offline build
ant -Dskip=true install"	run the build, but skip the tests
ant -Dskip=true install"	run the build, but skip the tests
ant -Dskip=true deploy"	deploys artifacts, but skip the tests
ant -Doffline=true -Dskip=true install"	run the build in the offline and skips the tests
