Folks,
I am trying to pull the source code for xwki 1.1 and build it.
However, after eluding from this list for several month, I no
longer knows how to build it. I built xwiki 1.0 before via ant and
I have used maven 2 before, but I am not quite sure which module
should I checkout and choose if I just want to get the xwiki
application(not the tools or add on modules).
I have browsed the documentations from xwiki.org's community site,
but I am not quite sure where should I start. My questions are the
following:
1. What are the minimum set of modules should I choose to download
for just the xwiki web application? (not the panels, tools, plugins
etc. just the core application which can build a .war like xwiki
1.0 or 0.984) The xwiki platform or xwiki product?
The following pages should provide some information:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/SourceRepository
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building
I guess you're talking about building the platform WAR. You just need
to check out that module and run "mvn install" as described in http://
www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building
2. I used to be able to download a specific release
vesion of the
source code, but now I cannot find any version tagged by 1.1 but
checking the history of xwiki-platform or xwiki-products
It's still the case but whereas xwiki was a small project before it's
now a larger project with several products (XE, XEM, Watch, Curriki)
+ a platform on which sits the products. We all need to describe this
better on the
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/
SourceRepository page. Help is most welcome.
In addition to that we're modularizing xwiki so that modules can have
different release lifecycles.
The 1.1 tag for the Platform WAR is available at:
svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/web/tags/
xwiki-web-1.1.0
3. Is ant build still supported or maven 2 is required
now?
Maven2 is the only build now.
Thanks
