[deepamehta-devel] Maven repository

[Constantin Jucovschi]

Hi Jörg,

One must follow the instructions from
http://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html. I think the best
would be if somebody from DeepaMehta core team would create the JIRA
account. With this account, one can create and remove releases.

I don't think I've seen nightly builds in Central. I would only put
stable(-ish) releases there. The release process per-se is automatic.
If you want, you can upload previous releases but I would personally
not spend too much time on that.

The archetype approach is very handy indeed. I think the easiest way
to do development is to create a project using one of the archetypes.
Build it once and make a symlink from the jar to the deploy directory
of DM karaf
distribution. This works like hot deployment. I don't think it works
on windows though.

Best,
Constantin

I would setup our CI (Jenkins) then to let it upload the nightly builds as well as the releases to Central. My idea is to have this upload process completely automated.

For a complete archive of released DM distributions see http://download.deepamehta.de/archive/ (The current release is directly at http://download.deepamehta.de)

The DM4 Archetypes pull in all required artifacts from the DM Maven repo and provides you templates(=archetypes) for several DM plugin types. See the READMEs of the several provided archetypes.

This is a very handy feature while plugin development. Currently the only way to get a hot deployment environment is to build DM from source.
