The JBoss Tools Integration Stack Project

Summary

This Maven/ Tycho project specifies the process for building the JBoss Tools Integration Stack project. The JBoss Tools Integration Stack is comprised of layered JBoss Developer Studio (JBDS) features/plugins. The project provides the ability to build a fully resolved Equinox/p2 update repository as well as the ability to build the Mylyn JBoss Central Discovery update mechanism.
The established Integration Stack capture is consistent with its JBoss core and target third-party dependencies but is independently releasable.

Components

• JBoss BPEL Editor/ Riftsaw Open Source BPEL Engine
• Eclipse BPMN2 Modeler
• Drools Business Logic integration Platform/ jBPM 5
• ESB - Enterprise Service Bus
• Fuse IDE
• jBPM 3 Legacy Flow Editor
• Modeshape Distributed, Hierarchical, Transactional, and Consistent Data Support
• Switchyard Lightweight Service Delivery Framework
• Teiid Designer

Building the JBoss Tools Integration Stack Project

To build the JBoss Tools Integration Stack project requires specific versions of Java, Maven and Tycho. The How to Build JBoss Tools with Maven 3 document will guide you through that setup.

Fork a copy of the GIT project onto your local disk:

 https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-integration-stack

First build the target platform:

  $ cd .../jbosstools-integration-stack/target-platform
  $ mvn clean install

Second build either the community (jbosstools) or production (devstudio) aggregate and Mylyn discovery:

  $ cd .../jbosstools-integration-stack/jbosstools
  $ mvn clean install

Then look for the integration-stack-*.zip file in your repository. You can use that zip file directly as your install site in the Eclipse/JBDS software install dialog (Help->Install New Software...).

If you just want to check if things compile/ build you can run:

  $ mvn clean verify -DskipTest=true

Target Platform Definition Resolution within Maven/Tycho

The JBoss Tools Integration Stack Target Platform project creates two target files:

• An aggregate of the JBoss Tools Core target dependencies + Integration Stack base target dependencies.

e.g. target-platform-4.0.0-base.target

• An aggregate of the JBoss Tools Core target dependencies + Integration Stack base target dependencies + any other community dependencies.

e.g. target-platform-4.0.0-full.target

These files are promoted to the nexus: (e.g.)

https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/org/jboss/tools/integration-stack/target-platform/4.0.0-SNAPSHOT/

Here's an example of how to reference the derived aggregate base target file:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
    <artifactId>target-platform-configuration</artifactId>
    <version>${tycho-version}</version>

    <configuration>
      <environments>
        <environment>
          <os>macosx</os>
          <ws>cocoa</ws>
          <arch>x86</arch>
        </environment>
        <environment>
          <os>macosx</os>
          <ws>cocoa</ws>
          <arch>x86_64</arch>
        </environment>
        <environment>
          <os>win32</os>
          <ws>win32</ws>
          <arch>x86</arch>
        </environment>
        <environment>
          <os>win32</os>
          <ws>win32</ws>
          <arch>x86_64</arch>
        </environment>
        <environment>
          <os>linux</os>
          <ws>gtk</ws>
          <arch>x86</arch>
        </environment>
        <environment>
          <os>linux</os>
          <ws>gtk</ws>
          <arch>x86_64</arch>
        </environment>
      </environments>

       <!-- Pick up the merged target dependencies of the JBoss Tools core unified target and the full
            JBoss Tools Integration Stack (with community). -->
       <target>
         <artifact>
           <groupId>org.jboss.tools.integration-stack</groupId>
           <artifactId>target-platform</artifactId>
           <version>4.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
           <type>target</type>
           <classifier>base</classifier>
         </artifact>
       </target>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

Don't forget to identify the repository where the target file can be found:

<repository>
  <id>jboss-releases-repository</id>
  <name>JBoss Releases Repository</name>
  <uniqueVersion>false</uniqueVersion>
  <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases/</url>
  <layout>default</layout>
</repository>

<snapshotRepository>
  <id>jboss-snapshots-repository</id>
  <name>JBoss Snapshot Repository</name>
  <uniqueVersion>false</uniqueVersion>
  <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
  <layout>default</layout>
</snapshotRepository>
