Sling Kickstart Launcher

This project is the Feature Model based version of the sling-org-apache-sling-starter module and creates an executable JAR file (for now). It is also a test case for the Sling KickstartMaven Plugin as it uses it to launch a Launchpad Ready Rule and Smoke tests.

Build

This plugin depends on the Sling Start Feature Maven Plugin (also in the Sling Whiteboard) which is then used to run the IT tests:

  1. Go to sling-kickstart-maven-plugin module
  2. Build with: mvn clean install
  3. Go back to sling-org-apache-sling-kickstart
  4. Build and Launch it with: mvn clean install
  5. Sling will come up and run the IT tests and then shut down. Sling can be kept running after the end of the IT tests by providing the property block.sling.at.the.end with the value true

Usage

After the resulting jar file org.apache.sling.feature.starter-.jar can be executed with:

java -jar org.apache.sling.feature.starter-<version>.jar ...

These are the additional parameters: -s: this takes a path to a Feature Model (FM) that replaces the provided Sling Feature Module. With it it is possible to provide your own Sling FM which may or may not contain your own project FMs.

-af: each parameter will have a path to a Feature Model (FM) that is added to the provided Sling FM (or its override). To add multiple FMs just use multiple -af parameter lines.
