| <h1>Developing Apache Axis2</h1> | |
| <h2>Working with Subversion</h2> | |
| <p>The Axis2 development team uses Subversion for source control. Subversion | |
| is a compelling replacement for CVS, developed under the auspices of the | |
| Tigris community and is licensed under an Apache compatible license. To learn | |
| more about Subversion or to download the latest distribution, visit the <a | |
| href="http:///subversion.tigris.org">Subversion project site</a>. If you are | |
| looking for guidance on setting up and installing Subversion, please read the | |
| ASF <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html">Source Code | |
| Repositories page</a>.</p> | |
| <h2>Checkout Axis2 from Subversion</h2> | |
| <p>When checking out the latest version of Axis from the Foundation's | |
| Subversion repository you must use one of the following URLs depending on | |
| your level of access to the Axis2 source code:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><b>If you are not a committer:</b> Use <a | |
| href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis2/trunk/java">http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis2/trunk/java</a></li> | |
| <li><b>If you are a committer:</b> Use <a | |
| href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis2/trunk/java">https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis2/trunk/java</a></li> | |
| </ul> | |
| If you are a committer, make sure that you have selected an svnpasswd. To do | |
| this you must log into svn.apache.org. For more information, please read the | |
| ASF <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html">Source Code | |
| Repositories page</a>. | |
| <p>Once you have successfully installed Subversion, you can check out Axis2 | |
| trunk by following these steps:</p> | |
| <ol type="1"> | |
| <li>Run <strong>svn co <repository URL> axis2</strong> where | |
| repository URL is one of the URLs from the previous list.</li> | |
| <li>This step will check out the latest version of the Axis2 Java codebase | |
| to a directory named "axis2". The second parameter to the svn co selects | |
| a directory to create on your local machine. If you want to checkout | |
| Axis2 to a different directory, feel free to change axis2 to any other | |
| directory name.</li> | |
| <li>To update your working copy to the latest version from the repository. | |
| Execute the <strong>svn update</strong> command.</li> | |
| <li>If you would like to submit a patch, you can execute <strong>svn | |
| diff</strong> to create a unified diff for submission to the Axis JIRA | |
| issue tracker.</li> | |
| </ol> | |
| <h2>Installing Maven 1</h2> | |
| <p>Axis2's build is based on Maven 1. Maven is a build system that allows | |
| for the reuse of common build projects across multiple projects. For | |
| information about obtaining, installing, and configuring Maven 1, please see | |
| the <a href="http://maven.apache.org">Maven project page</a>. To use Maven | |
| to build the Axis2 project, follow these simple steps:</p> | |
| <ol type="1"> | |
| <li>Install <a href="http://maven.apache.org/">Maven</a>. See <a | |
| href="http://maven.apache.org/start/install.html">here</a> for | |
| instructions. | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Create a MAVEN_HOME environment variable.</li> | |
| <li>Add MAVEN_HOME/bin to your PATH</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </li> | |
| <li>Go to the axis2 folder in the command prompt and type | |
| <strong>maven<strong>.</strong></strong></li> | |
| <li>Maven will then automatically download all the jars, compile, test and | |
| build the Axis2 deliverables.</li> | |
| </ol> | |
| <h2>Configuring your IDE</h2> | |
| <p>The Axis2 development team uses a variety of development tools from vi to | |
| emacs to Eclipse to Intellij/IDEA. The following section is not an | |
| endorsement of a specific set of tools, it is simply meant as a pointer to | |
| ease the process of getting started with Axis2 development.</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>Intellij IDEA </strong>: type <strong>maven | |
| idea:multiproject</strong>. This will generate the necessary IDEA .ipr, | |
| .iml and .iws project files</li> | |
| <li><strong>Eclipse</strong>: The Maven eclipse plugin does not support | |
| Maven multiprojects. You will need to execute <strong>maven | |
| eclipse</strong> from each of the module directories.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
