HOWTOBUILD.txt
==============
For General Users & log4j developers
=====================================
Firstly, you'll need maven 2.0.9+ to build Chainsaw:
http://maven.apache.org
* cd to Chainsaw project checkout directory
mvn site:site
mvn install
This will automatically build and assemble the Chainsaw distribution which includes a .sh & .bat shell script to run Chainsaw. You can then run Chainsaw as follows:
[*nix]
sh target/appassembler/bin/chainsaw
[Windows]
target/appassembler/bin/chainsaw.bat
[OSX]
You can use the *nix steps above, or go one extra step for a nicer OSX experience
mvn package appbundle:bundle
This will create an OSX distribution, look inside the target folder for the packaged OSX application and .dmg distribution. You can drag the application to your /Applications folder, or just double click it from the target folder.
For log4j developers
====================
Creating a Webstart distribution
================================
To create the Webstart distribution requires:
* a keystore configured with a valid code signing key
I've always found this link useful:
http://www.dallaway.com/acad/webstart/
* A maven profile that defines the parameters for code signing (otherwise passwords and stuff need to be embedded in the pom.xml)
Edit your ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml file, such that it has something like:
<settings>
....
<profiles>
....
<profile>
<id>chainsaw-signing</id>
<properties>
<chainsaw.webstart.keystore>/somepath/keystore</chainsaw.webstart.keystore>
<chainsaw.webstart.keypass>somesupersecurepassword</chainsaw.webstart.keypass>
<chainsaw.webstart.storepass>someothersupersecurepassword</chainsaw.webstart.storepass>
<chainsaw.webstart.alias>aliasofcertificateinkeystore</chainsaw.webstart.alias>
</properties>
</profile>
...
</profiles>
....
</settings>
Then create the webstart package:
mvn -Pchainsaw-signing install webstart:jnlp
Inside the target folder will contain a .zip file containing the webstart distribution, including the generated .jnlp file.
