Building

We use Apache Maven to build the code, docs, distribution, etc. and to manage dependencies.

The minimum required Maven version is 3.0.0.

Note that there are some compatibility issues with Maven 3.X still unsolved. This is specially true for the ‘site’ plugin.

Full Release

Upgrading the `gitbook` version and regenerating the `npm-shrinkwrap.json` file

The full release uses gitbook to build a static website from the documentation. This is automatically installed using an NPM plugin and is controled via a package.json file.

Install NPM using the instructions below

cd artemis-website
alter the `package.json` changing the version
npm cache clean; rm -rf ./node_modules/ ./node npm-shrinkwrap.json
npm install --save-dev
npm shrinkwrap --dev

The new npm-shrinkwrap.json should be written, commit it.

Install npm On Fedora

To build the full release with documentation, Javadocs, and the full web site:

$ mvn -Prelease package

To install it to your local maven repo:

$ mvn -Prelease install

Build the distribution without docs

It is possible to build a distribution with out the manuals and Javadocs. simply run
