Chapter 1. Building PEtALS from source

We suppose that all the required binaries (mvn, java, javac, svn) are defined in you path.

1.2. Checkout the sources

The PEtALS sources are hosted by the ObjectWeb forge. As developer you can checkout the sources from the repository with a svn client.

Checking out the sources as anonymous user :
svn checkout svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/petals/trunk petals
To check out the sources as developer, you must be registered in the ObjectWeb forge and be activated as PEtALS developers (contact the project administrator to get authorization) :
svn checkout svn+ssh://<developer-login>@svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/petals/trunk petals

These two commands will check out the sources into the petals directory.

1.3. Compiling PEtALS modules

Since the compilation uses lots of memory, you must define specific system variables for maven.

On a Linux system :

MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m

export MAVEN_OPTS

	Note
	You can define this variable in your `.bashrc` file.

In order to retrieve all the artifacts, you must add specific configuration to Maven. To do so, add a settings.xml file in your local Maven repository (~/.m2/ under Linux).

<settings>
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>default-profile</id>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault>TRUE</activeByDefault>
      </activation>
      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>objectweb-release</id>
          <name>Objectweb Repo</name>
          <url>http://maven.objectweb.org/maven2</url>
          <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
          </snapshots>
          <releases>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
          </releases>
        </repository>
        <repository>
          <id>objectweb-snapshot</id>
          <name>Objectweb SNAPSHOT Repo</name>
          <url>http://maven.objectweb.org/maven2-snapshot</url>
          <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
          </snapshots>
          <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
          </releases>
        </repository>
      </repositories>

      <pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
          <id>objectweb-plugin</id>
          <name>Objectweb plugin Repo</name>
          <url>http://maven.objectweb.org/maven2</url>
          <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
          </snapshots>
          <releases>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
          </releases>
        </pluginRepository>
      </pluginRepositories>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>

You can dowload the settings.xml file here.

Now that all is ready, you can compile the sources:

Go into the sources directory
cd petals
Build the required dependencies first
mvn -Denv=first
Build petals
mvn
Note that you can skip all the unit tests like this (generation will be faster...)
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip
