Building OpenRegistry using Maven2

Building OpenRegistry via the Maven2 system is simple. From within the PROJECT_HOME directory, execute the following command:

mvn clean package install

• "clean" is optional and ensures that all previous artifacts have been cleaned up before generating new ones.
• "package" generates the appropriate packages for the sub-module (i.e. war, jar, etc.)
• "install" makes the sub-modules available from the local repository such that other sub-modules can see the new ones.

Updating License Information using Maven2

OpenRegistry uses the Maven License Plugin to manage the licenses on its files. The license header is stored in the PROJECT_HOME/src/etc/header.txt file.

To update the license, first change the header.txt file then execute the following command from within PROJECT_HOME:

mvn license:format

This will update licenses if the header.txt file has changed or if a file is missing a license. You can use this instead of remembering to add the header to each file. At some point, we may include this as part of the build process.

To check if the license has been applied, but not change any files, execute

mvn license:check
