Does anyone know of a maven, ant, or gradle plugin that supports invoking cygpath? The cygpath utilities knows how to convert Windows filesystem paths (c:\dev) to cygwin/unix style file paths (/cygdrive/c/dev).
I've searched the internet but didn't find anything. The closest is this jenkins plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/jenkins/cygpath+plugin).
Context:
I'm trying to automate creating an omniORB maven artifact from the omniORB source tarball. One of the first things I have to do is patch the omniORB source with filesystem paths that match our development environment. On every developer's machine we have an environment variable the specifies the location of their maven repo e.g. c:\mvrepo. The omniORB Windows binaries are built with cygwin. I need to set the omniORB makefile to locate some dependencies from c:\mvnrepo\some-dependency but with a cywin-style path /cygdrive/mvnrepo/some-depenendency.
I cant vouch for it a I haven't used it or looked at it closely but here is a gradle plugin that might be of use: https://github.com/derianto/Gradle-Cygwin-Toolkit-Plugin
In any case, since gradle scripts are written in groovy it should be fairly easy to just code your own solution into your build script if you have to.

we are writing shell scripts in the IDE of Window, and package the project including the shell scripts with assemply maven plugin.
When it is unpacked on Linux OS, there is no problem for the shell scripts is itself, but it has to be changed the format from windows to Linux.
I would ask if there are Maven plugin that supports to make the format transformation during maven packaging process
Thanks!
You shouldn't use an Ant Task for that, cause maven-assembly-plugin's assembly descriptor is capable of doing so. See for lineEndings...
I would like to use Maven to produce an artifact in zip format. To give you some background; my project includes an APS package (Application Packaging Standard, used to provision cloud applications on the Parallels platform). This package is a zip file that contains a combination of XML as well as PHP files. It is generated by an APS plugin from within Eclipse and its name always includes the version and release number of its contents.
What I am trying to do is generate a zip file with Maven that would be kind of a release candidate that will be eventually sent to customers and would include not only the actual APS package but also other files such as README, User Guide.pdf, etc;. I would like the name of this zip file to contain the version number of the version number of the APS package. Currently I can generate this manually by using something like "mvn -Dversion=1.2.3-4 package" but I would like to automate the process and ideally run this from Jenkins.
Basically, my strategy is to run a script that would extract the version number from the initial APS package, once that is done, my script can invoke Maven and can pass this parameter to it so it can generate the final zip with the proper version number. This is fine but again, I need to run this script manually and I am looking for an automated process.
My question is; is it possible to invoke this script from within Maven and use its return as a parameter to set the version name (or the name of the file that will be generated) at run time? As I mentioned, I would like eventually Jenkins to handle this. It can pick up the pom file but I am not sure how it could kind of "auto configure" itself to have the proper version number.
Thanks is advance.
From jenkins build you can use profile with ${BUILD_NUMBER}:
<profile>
<id>jenkins</id>
<build>
<finalName>${artifactId}-${version}-${BUILD_NUMBER}</finalName>
</build>
</profile>
Then run in jenkins:
clean install -Pjenkins
I use the SVN (or any source versioning system) version to identify the software builds.
By simply executing this
REVISION=`svn info | grep '^Revision:' | sed -e 's/^Revision: //'`
on the sourcers folder you get the right value in $REVISION, then you can use it for your maven build
mvn -Dversion=1.2.3-$REVISION package
easy and clean
How can a corporate Maven repository be used (to the exclusion of other repositories) with sbt 0.11.x, as described in how do I get sbt to use a local maven proxy repository (Nexus)? ? There is no mention of ivyRepositories in the new sbt wiki at github, so I'm assuming the accepted solution there is out of date.
Step 1: Follow the instructions at Detailed Topics: Proxy Repositories, which I have summarised and added to below:
(If you are using Artifactory, you can skip this step.) Create an entirely separate Maven proxy repository (or group) on your corporate Maven repository, to proxy ivy-style repositories such as these two important ones:
http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/
http://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-releases/
This is needed because some repository managers cannot handle Ivy-style and Maven-style repositories being mixed together.
Create a file repositories, listing both your main corporate repository and any extra one that you created in step 1, in the format shown below:
[repositories]
my-maven-proxy-releases: http://repo.example.com/maven-releases/
my-ivy-proxy-releases: http://repo.example.com/ivy-releases/, [organization]/[module]/(scala_[scalaVersion]/)(sbt_[sbtVersion]/)[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]
Either save that file in the .sbt directory inside your home directory, or specify it on the sbt command line (you will need to specify if you have disabled sharing):
sbt -Dsbt.repository.config=<path-to-your-repo-file>
Good news for those using older versions of sbt: Even though, in the sbt 0.12.0 launcher jar at least, the boot properties files for older sbt versions don't contain the required line (the one that mentions repository.config), it will still work for those versions of sbt if you edit those files to add the required line, and repackage them into the sbt 0.12.0 launcher jar! This is because the feature is implemented in the launcher, not in sbt itself. And the sbt 0.12.0 launcher is claimed to be able to launch all versions of sbt, right back to 0.7!
Step 2: To make sure external repositories are not being used, remove the default repositories from your resolvers. This can be done in one of three ways:
Add the command line option -Dsbt.override.build.repos=true mentioned on the Detailed Topics page above. This will cause the repositories you specified in the file to override any repositories specified in any of your sbt files. This might only work in sbt 0.12 and above, though - I haven't tried it yet.
Having the same effect as 1, you can use overrideBuildResolvers := true, with the advantage that you can control the projects where it is applicable, depending on which scope (a project / ThisBuild / Global) you define it in. This works in sbt 0.13.
Use fullResolvers := Seq( resolver(s) for your corporate maven repositories ) in your build files, instead of resolvers ++= or resolvers := or whatever you used to use.
Finally, note that the sbt launcher script has a bug in reading the sbtopts file, so if you decide to put your common sbt command-line options in there, make sure the last line of the file ends in a newline (Emacs in particular can fail to ensure this, unless configured to do so).
An alternative for Step 2 of the accepted answer (am using sbt 0.13.1):
Add file .sbtopts to the project root directory with contents:
-Dsbt.override.build.repos=true
Another alternative is to add this line in $SBT_HOME/conf/.sbtopts, but this would force the setting for all projects.
Unpack the sbt-launcher.jar and copy the sbt.boot.properties file to a location of your choice. Change the launch script to use this file. In the file, change the repositories section to only contain your local repo and the corporate one. The distinction between Maven and Ivy comes from the given pattern (no pattern means Maven pattern by default).
Here is an example:
[repositories]
local
corporate: http://inhouse.acme.com/releases/
I realize that this question is pretty much the exact question found here. However, seeing as that question is 1.5 years old (or so), I would like to revisit it. How does one add local dependencies using leiningen? Surely this capability must exist by now?
Create a private Maven Repository, and then, add the following to your project.clj
:repositories {"local" ~(str (.toURI (java.io.File. "your_local_repository")))}
If the jars are based on your own projects, you can use lein install to put them into your local .m2, or use the checkout-dependencies feature.
You can also use the extra-classpaths feature, etc.
I found that the easiest (albeit somewhat hacky) solution is to do the following:
For an existing project that you're using as a dependency:
In your local project that has the dependency you want to modify, ensure you run lein deps
Clone the repo of this dependency so you can modify it locally (obv. make sure you're using the same tag as the version you specify in your project.clj file)
Run lein uberjar in this dependency dir (where the relevant project.clj file lives)
Copy the generated standalone jar in target/ to the exact path/file of your local maven files... (something like: ~/.m2/repository/project/.../file.jar); Ensure that you backup the original jar file so you can restore it later on if that is desirable
For development of your own project:
Within the project or plugin you're developing, simply run lein install
Find out where your local maven repo is (see above for an example path)
Enter dependency information in your test project like you would for any other leiningen project
Again, this is a quick hack and perhaps not the way you'd go about doing serious local development, but I found it easy enough for what I wanted. Check out lein help tutorial for much more info
My work project needs to be compiled and run under JDK1.5 and I'm on a Mac. I followed the instructions here to get 1.5 back on Snow Leopard, and it works fine when building from IntelliJ IDEA, or if I'm just in the same directory as the build.xml and try "ant CleanRebuild" When I "Run Target" in NetBeans they're all compiled with the wrong version resulting in
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
Bad version number in .class file
(unable to load class...
when tomcat is trying to start up.
So things I've tried
Set the "Java Platform" to 1.5 under the project properties/libraries.
Set the Source/Binary Format to JDK 5 under project properties/sources.
Pointed the ant home to the ant I'm using under preferences/ant
Renaming every javac executable I could find in the hopes NetBeans would fail to compile and I could figure out which one it was using (no luck)
Setting 1.5 as the default, resulting in the need to point $netbeans_jdkhome to the 1.6 jdk in order for NetBeans to even start.
All unsuccessful....
Again, if I cd into the directory of the netbeans project with the build.xml and run the command manually all is well....so NetBeans. What's the deal?
Revised answer
Assumptions: NetBeans version 6.9.1 (although likely applicable to most or all 6.x versions), alternative build systems (e.g., Maven) are not used...the default (Ant) is used.
NetBeans, by default, uses Ant as its build system for doing things like compiling a project, building a project, cleaning built files from a project, etc. Ant has two concepts that are applicable here: targets and tasks. A target, in Ant's vocabulary, is simply a "command" or a series of jobs that need to be completed for a particular job. In NetBeans, common targets are "Compile", "Build", "Clean and Build", etc. The "jobs" that a target completes are (among other things) Ant tasks. In NetBeans one task (which is particularly relevant in answering this question) is the Javac Task. This is the task that Ant uses to compile .java files into .class files.
An Ant-based project, and therefore a NetBeans project, uses the file build.xml to control the build process and tell Ant how to go about accomplishing the targets. In a NetBeans project, the build.xml is found in the root directory of the project, by default. NetBeans, however, uses a user-extensible build.xml file. The core targets and tasks defined by NetBeans are actually located in nbprojects/build-impl.xml and imported into build.xml within the first few lines of the file. The theory is that users can add or override things in build.xml while the core NetBeans-defined configuration remains untouched in the build-impl.xml file.
If you look in the default nbproject/build-impl.xml file for a NetBeans Java project, you will find the Javac task referred to twice. (Search for "<javac".) Both are in macro definitions, and therefore deep within the complexities of NetBean's default build configuration. If we refer to the Javac Task documentation we find that the tasks uses the compiler in the location specified either by the global build.compiler property, by the compiler attribute specified with the <javac... /> task, or the default which is the Java compiler that is used when running and, and thus the one that is used when running NetBeans (because it is what fires off the Ant process). Since we don't see build.compiler or the compiler attribute anywhere (in the default build-impl.xml), then we can only conclude that the default is being used.
So here we have the (more-or-less correct) first answer. NetBeans compiles using the JDK that was used to execute NetBeans by default. It looks like it is actually a bit more complicated than that simple answer, but it is essentially correct. If you look at the documentation for the Javac Task it alludes to "a class that implements the CompilerAdapter interface", which suggests that rather than calling the javac executable directly, Ant (and therefore NetBeans) compiles using the compiler class (that, in all likelihood, the javac executable also uses). Refer to the Original answer below to determine which JDK what used to run NetBeans.
So, what if you don't want to use the default JDK that was used to run NetBeans? This is where "Java Platforms" comes in. Go to the Tools menu, and click on "Java Platforms". You likely only have one platform defined here. (As an aside, this is actually the most correct answer to what JDK is used by default... the one defined here in the Java Platform Manager.) If you would like to compile against another Java version (say your default JDK is 1.6, but you want to compile against 1.5) then you would install the alternate JDK somewhere on your system, and then configure a platform here in NetBeans' Java Platform Manager. (I'll leave it as an exercise for you to find the documentation on how to add a Java Platform. A superficial search of the wiki didn't turn up anything obvious. In any case, it's fairly self-explanatory.)
Once a new platform is created in the manager, you would right-click on your project in the Projects tab, click on "Properties", and then on "Libraries". At the top, you would select the appropriate Java platform for the project. As soon as you change this value and click on "OK", NetBeans makes several adjustments to your build-impl.xml file that point it to the new JDK against which to compile. (It is instructive for the truly geeky amongst us to make a copy of the nbproject directory before making this change and to diff that against the new contents of the nbproject directory after the change is made.) The changes instruct the Javac Ant Task to use the (equivalent of the) javac executable of the specified platform. So here we have the most correct answer: NetBeans uses the equivalent of the javac executable (as invoked by the Ant javac task) that is specified in the project's Java Platform located under the Libraries node of the project's properties.
Original answer
The path to the JDK used by NetBeans can be found in the netbeans.conf file. Look for the netbeans_jdkhome entry.
You can also specify the jdkhome at runtime (*NIX example given):
netbeans --jdkhome /usr/bin/jdk1.6.0_22
The netbeans.conf file is found in different places depending on what OS you are using. See the NetBeans.conf FAQ on the NetBeans wiki for help finding the file.
A few additional comments...
...You can specify the -target option in the project properties. In NetBeans 6.9 right-click on the project, and choose Properties. Click on the Compiling node. Add your -target to Additional Compiler Options.
...I have read in a few places that specifying a target is not a guarantee that the code will run on a JRE whose version is lower than the JDK that built it. In other words, the recommendation seems to be that if you want 1.5 binaries, then compile with the 1.5 JDK.
