OVERVIEW

There are 4 sections to this document.  These sections are:

• Section 1:
  This section deals editing various project files and is very straight forward.
  Again, there is nothing new here and you should know how to do the above relative to the Eclipse IDE that you are using.
• Section 2:
  This section deals editing the project's pom.xml.
• Section 3:
  This section deals with creating a Maven jar project using the jar-template.  There is nothing new here and you should know how to do the above relative to the Eclipse IDE that you are using.
  You should notice that in this section:
  1. Items 1 - 8 deal with checking out and disconnecting the jar template from the SVN repository.
  2. Items 9 - 12 deal with cleanup, renaming the jar template and converting the project to a Maven project.
  3. Items 13 - 20 deal with checking in the renamed project into a new SVN repository specifically for your project.
• Section 4:
  This section deals with changes that have been made to the JAR template that are not reflected in the documentation.

It should take you approximately 10 - 20 minutes to get your jar component created and customized.

Section 1: The mit-release-plugin-parent Maven Project Reconfiguration

1. Check-out the maven project for the mit-release-plugin.  The SVN repository is:

   Code Block
   svn+ssh://svn.mit.edu/sais-sis-common/maven/plugins/mit-release-plugin/trunk

2. Open the mit-release-plugin maven project in your IDE.
   
   1. Open the pom.xml's for each of the following projects:
      • mit-release-plugin-parent
      • mit-release-plugin
      • mit-release-plugin-common
      • mit-release-plugin-integration-tests
   2. In each of the pom.xml's for the above, remove all occurances of -SNAPSHOT from the <version> tags.
      There are a total of 7 occurances that have to be changed.
      
      • EXAMPLE: <version>2.0.21-SNAPSHOT</version> becomes <version>2.0.21</version>

When you are satisfied that everything is correct, save the changes that you made to the pom.xml's.

The mit-release-plugin-parent Maven Project Reconfiguration is now complete

Section 2: The sais-moves-web Maven Project Reconfiguration

1. Check-out the maven project for the sais-moves-web.  The SVN repository is:

   Code Block
   svn+ssh://svn.mit.edu/sais-sis-common/sais-moves-web/trunk

2. Open the sais-moves-web maven project in your IDE.
   1. Open the sais-moves-web project pom.xml for editting.
   2. In the <dependencies> section, add the following dependency:

      Code Block
      <dependency> <groupId>edu.mit.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>mit-release-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0.21</version> </dependency>

      Change the <version>, in the above, to the mit-release-plugin version that you selected in Section 1.
   3. In the <plugins> section of the pom.xml, find the following plugin with the following groupId and artifactId:

      Code Block
      <plugin> <groupId>edu.mit.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>mit-release-plugin</artifactId> . . . </plugin>

      Change the <version> for the above plugin to the mit-release-plugin version that you selected in Section 1.
   4. Open the log4j.xml (located in the resources folder) for editting and add the following <logger>:

      Code Block
      <logger name="edu.mit.moves.shell.logging"> <level value="INFO" /> </logger>

      Tip
      title OPTIONAL
      If you are only interested in debugging the mit-release-plugin, you might want to changed the <level> of all the other <logger>s to FATAL.  If you do this, all output to the system console will be surpress except for the output from the mit-release-plugin.

When you are satisfied that everything is correct, save the changes that you made.

The sais-moves-web Maven Project Reconfiguration is now complete

Section 3: The Development Environment Setup

1. Download the following files:

   Warning
   The following 3 properties files are the be used solely and exclusively in the software development environment on an Educational Systems VM.  They are NOT to be deployed to the development, test or production servers.

   1. Click here to Download the sais-moves-web.properties file .  Select Save as to your ${user.home} directory.
   2. Click here to Download the sais-moves-web-build.properties file .  Select Save as to your ${user.home} directory.
   3. Click here to Download the sais-moves-web-test.properties file .  Select Save as to your ${user.home} directory.
      
   4. Open the sais-moves-web-build.properties file for editing and change the following properties:
      
      • mit.maven.release.plugin.version=2.0.21  Change the version number (2.0.21) to the mit-release-plugin version number that you selected in section 1.
