Apache Build Projects: By. S. Suhothayan & Prabath Abaysekara

This document provides an overview of Apache build tools including Subversion (SVN), Apache Ant, and Apache Maven. It discusses how SVN allows multiple developers to work on the same project files, the terminology associated with version control in SVN, and how to resolve conflicts when changes are made to the same lines of code. It also explains how Ant build files are written in XML and use targets to automate build processes. Finally, it outlines the conventions and lifecycle of Maven including how to create and manage projects, dependencies, plugins, and releasing projects.

Apache build projects

A practical session on Apache Maven, Ant and Subversion

By. S. Suhothayan & Prabath Abaysekara


Subversion (SVN)
If more than one developer is working on a
project - how can they all make changes to the
source code...?
Why version control?
This gives us a history of a software project
If we accidentally delete some code, we can look for an
older version that still has the code
We can see who made what changes
Serves as a backup
Terminology
Repository: a storage location for projects that
SVN will manage
Checkout: to download a copy of a project from
a repository
Commit: to upload files to a repository after
making changes
Update: to download the latest versions of files
from a repository when your local copies are out
of date
How its done

More than one developer is working on a


project...

from: OpenMRS
How its done
more than one developer to works on the same revision
file... and trying to commit at the same time!

from: OpenMRS
How its done
What if the changes are on the same line !!!

from: OpenMRS
Ant
A software tool for automating software build processes
Similar to MAKE, but:
Written in and developed primarily for Java
Uses XML scripts
How Ant build files written?
Build-scripts are created from existing Ant-tasks.
The Ant tasks do not prescribe any conventions or
configuration.
Therefore the definition of project layout is your
responsibility.

Advantage
You have full control of whatever you are doing

Disadvantage
Can become a problem in bigger projects.
How to run Ant ?
Can be run from the command line

By default the command line client looks for a build script


build.xml in the current directory
> ant

To use a different build script, we have to specify it


> ant -buildfile other.xml
Targets
Build scripts contain targets, the different jobs that they
can performed

We can specify the name of the target to run the specific


target .
> ant compile

Note: If nothing specified will run the default target


Maven
A software project management and comprehension
tool.
What it Maven?

Maven = Ant With Convention Over Configuration

Directories
Source, Tests, Resources
Goals
Clean, Test, Deploy, Package, Install, Site...

But... you have to learn the conventions!


Maven Lifecycle
validate
Validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available
compile
Compile the source code of the project
test
Test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework.
package
Take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR.
verify
Run any checks to verify the package is valid and meets quality criteria
install
Install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other
projects locally
deploy
Done in an integration or release environment, copies the final package to the
remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.
Create a project
With the archetype

mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
-DgroupId=org.apache.meetup \
-DartifactId=calcualtor-app
Dependencies
Dependencies are uniquely identified by their
Group
Artifact
Version

Declare dependencies in the POM and the Maven will find


it for you!
Dependency management
The real strength!

You only have to declare the dependencies


maven will download them
setup the classpath and
even deploy the dependencies with your application.

Maven manages not only the direct dependencies - but


even the dependencies of the dependecies (transitive
dependencies)
Maven
Repositories
Repositories are used to host dependencies
1. Remote
The servers that hold released binaries
e.g. Artifactory, Nexus
2.Local
~/.m2/repository
Maven
Plugins
Reporting
Test Coverage (Sonar)
Javadoc auto-generation
CheckStyle
FindBugs
Ant
Releasing your project
Single command to deploy
Pushing artifact to server

(Almost) Single Command To Release your project!


mvn release:prepare release:perform
