Sencha build steps for SSP

Currently, Sencha is part of the maven build process for SSP 2.0. Eventually, the same configuration will be added to the rel-1-2-patches and rel-1-1-patches branches.

Sencha Installation

Sencha SDK Tools can be downloaded from here: http://www.sencha.com/products/sdk-tools/download/

These steps are relevant for both the automated process as well as the manual process:

1) Install sencha tools

2) Add the installation directory to your PATH. Will look something like:

for OSX:
export PATH="/Applications/SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3:$PATH"

for Windows (easiest to add environment variable; or set from cmd prompt):

set path=%path%;<Sencha SDK Tools Installation Dir>

You can validate your Sencha installation by typing the following command (should get usage information back):
%> sencha --help

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Developers should note that when adding new Ext classes, it is important to edit the ssp.jsb3 file so that the new classes will be included in the minification process.

AUTOMATED PROCESS (SSP 2.0)

Automated process for SSP 2.0:

MANUAL PROCESS (SSP 1.1.x and SSP 1.2.x)

Eventually, the same automated configuration will be added to the 1.2.x and 1.1.x. Until then, the manual process for these versions is:

1) cd over to the directory with your ssp.jsb3 file:
%> cd {src_root}/src/main/webapp

2) Run the sencha tool (note the dot at the end):
%> sencha build -p ssp.jsb3 -d .

3) Add the resulting files to git:
%> git add app-all.js all-classes.js
