These instructions describe how to build Weasis directly from the Git repository on any platform. For building Weasis from an IDE, see Plug-in Development Guidelines.

Prerequisites

  1. JDK 8 or higher (Sun or OpenJDK)

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

  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.

The trunk is not a stable version and snapshot version is not retained in cache for the web distribution (it means the files will be every times downloaded)

Check out a tag version to build a stable version, see tag list.

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

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

    mvn clean package -Dportable=true

  • The distribution files are located in:

    • target/web_dist/

    • target/portable-dist/
