Prerequisites

1. JDK 8 or higher (Sun or OpenJDK)

2. Maven 3 or higher (http://maven.apache.org/guides/index.html)

   If your computer is behind a proxy server, configure maven.

   
   

3. Git (or directly download source from github)

Getting the Source

To clone the repository, first install GIT and either clone using a graphical GIT client or directly from the command line using the command:

git clone https://github.com/nroduit/Weasis.git

This command will copy the current development code (the "master" branch) into a local directory named Weasis.

Note: Sources can also be browsed online or download as a zip file.

git checkout <TAG_NAME>

Building all Plug-ins

• Go in the Weasis directory, Compile and install all the plug-ins in the local Maven repository

mvn clean install

Building Weasis Distributions

• Requires to install all the plug-ins in the local Maven repository (see above Building all Plug-ins).

  cd weasis-distributions mvn clean package

  
  

  From 1.1.2 it is possible to use the compression pack200 that reduces jar size considerably. Note: it is recommended to use the Oracle jdk with this option (openjdk can throw packging errors). mvn clean package -P pack200

  
  

  For using Weasis through Java Webstart, it is required to sign jar files with your own certificate (by replacing values in the command below by your own values). A trust-worthy certificate from a certificate authority is now required to run Java Web Start applications. A self signed certificate generate by keytool will always display a security warning message. The parameters must be placed in the maven user setting or has to be the options in the Maven command: mvn clean package -Djarsigner.alias="your_alias" -Djarsigner.storepass="your_pwd" -Djarsigner.keystore="your_path/keystore"

  
  

• Add the "-Dportable=true" option for building the portable distribution (cdrom or removable device).

  mvn clean package -Dportable=true

  
  

  To disable single instance in portable version, set windowsName property empty. By default, Windows executable is a single instance application. mvn clean package -Dportable=true -DwindowsName=

  
  

  On 64-bit system, it requires to install the 32-bit compatibility libraries to build the windows executable. On Linux you need to install ia32-libs package. Do not place the sources in a path that contains directories with blanks or national characters, the compilation of the win32 executable can fail.

  
  

• The distribution files are located in:
  • target/web_dist/
  • target/portable-dist/
