(A zip file is generated in target folder.)

 

There are different maven profiles for different target environment (e.g. dev, uat and hkprod).

mvn clean

mvn -Pdev -Dmaven.test.skip=true package

==================================================================

 

 

Deploy dependent jar files to our private maven repository

============================================

If the project depends on a new commercial jar file, it is necessary to add the jar file to our private maven respository (http://.....com:8080/maven2_repositories/) such that it is available to other developers.

 

If the dependent jar file is from open source project, it should be available at maven public repository (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/). Thus, it is not required to be in our private maven repository.

 

The command to deploy a jar file to our private respoistory is as follow.

 

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=<group id> -DartifactId=<artifact id>

-Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=<path to jar file>

-Durl=file:/usr/tom/ci/ci-root/maven2_repositories

 

 

For instance, we are going to deploy tibrvj.jar (from RV 8.0) to our private repository.

- Copy the tibrvj.jar to ....com:/tmp

- Login remote server

- Execute the following command

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.tibco.tibrv -DartifactId=tibrvj

-Dversion=8.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/tmp/tibrvj.jar

-Durl=file:/usr/tom/ci/ci-root/maven2_repositories
