[xwiki-devs] Question about the Build process

[sachin mittal]

See in maven when we build a module it also looks for dependent module
first.
So they have to be built before.
When you are building say product-enterprise-web you should always build the
following first:
1. platform-core
2. platform-plugins
3. platform-skins
4. platform-web
In that said order.

Now if you notice that product-enterprise-web = platform-web +
platform-plugin
So if you just always build the platform-web and add plugins to it you get
the product-enterprise (of course you have to modify xwiki.cfg to add  built
plugins).

I suspect in your case it might be getting the platform-web war from the
maven repository, may be -nsu flag prevents it.

Here is a process you may want to follow:
I build xwiki from source daily and the whole process is automated via ant
scripts. Ant executes mvn targets and using ant-maven dependency tasks it
automatically copies the additional plugin jars to lib folder of my build.

Whole process takes not more that 2 - 3 minutes.

Thanks
Sachin
