ci.maven.tools

ci.maven.tools is a collection of Maven archetypes and target POMs for developing Java EE and OSGi applications targeting WebSphere Application Server Liberty within the WDT Eclipse IDE.

##Projects

There are provided two different projects to be used in Maven environments: Maven Target POMs, a set of convenience POMs that groups WebSphere Liberty dependencies; and Maven archetypes, to create new Maven projects with recommended configurations and dependencies targeting WebSphere Liberty.

Maven Target POM's

Project containing convenience POMs that groups a set of WebSphere Liberty APIs/SPIs, java specifications and third-party dependencies provided by the runtime.

Following are the provided modules for this project:

• liberty-target - Creates a POM that provides references to all modules (APIs/SPIs, java specifications and third-party implementations).
• liberty-apis - Creates a POM with Liberty API dependencies.
• liberty-spis - Creates a POM with Liberty SPI dependencies.
• java-specs - Creates a POM with Java specification dependencies that a Liberty installation provides in the dev/api/spec and /dev/spi/spec folders.
• third-party - Creates a POM with third-party dependencies that a Liberty installation provides in the dev/api/third-party and /dev/spi/third-party folders.

Archetypes

Project with Maven archetypes for creating new Java EE and OSGi projects targeting WebSphere Liberty within the WDT Eclipse IDE.

Java EE archetypes

Archetype	Project type
ejb-jee5-liberty	EJB 3.0 project
ejb-jee6-liberty	EJB 3.1 project
ejb-jee7-liberty	EJB 3.2 project
webapp-jee5-liberty	Web 2.5 project
webapp-jee6-liberty	Web 3.0 project
webapp-jee7-liberty	Web 3.1 project

OSGi Enterprise archetypes

Archetype	Project type
osgi-liberty	OSGi project
osgi-web25-liberty	OSGi Web 2.5 project
osgi-web30-liberty	OSGi Web 3.0 project
osgi-web31-liberty	OSGi Web 3.1 project

##How to build

To build and install the whole project in your local Maven repository, locate in the root folder and then execute one of the following commands in a Maven terminal.

• mvn install: installs the archetypes and target POMs into your local Maven repository.
• mvn install -DskipTests: installs the archetypes and target POMs into your local Maven repository without executing testing.

Notice:

• Require of Apache Maven 2.x or later.
• There's an Apache Maven issue related to archetype testing in Maven 3.3.x versions. You can workaround this, by creating a copy of "mvn.cmd" named "mvn.bat" in MAVEN_HOME/bin. For more details, see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-488
