In order to build the Open eCard project, some additional tools are needed.
Required dependencies are:
-
Java JDK 6 or higher Oracle JDK and OpenJDK are working correctly
-
Maven 3.0.3 or higher https://maven.apache.org/download.html
-
Git 1.7.11 or higher (older versions are probably also ok) http://git-scm.com/downloads
Optional dependencies are:
-
Android SDK The Android SDK dependent modules are built when the environment variable ANDROID_HOME is set and points to the installation directory of the Android SDK.
-
Android NDK The Android NDK dependent modules are built when the environment variable ANDROID_NDK_HOME is set and points to the installation directory of the Android NDK. The Android NDK has a direct dependency for the Android SDK. However due to restrictions in maven, no actual check is performed enforcing that the Android SDK must also be configured.
-
WiX The WiX executables must be available in the PATH environment variable.
Prior to starting the build, all Git submodules must be initialized with the following command, which must be issued form the project root:
$ git submodule update --init
Git submodule updates may also be necessary after pulling changes from the
remote repository. The git status
command indicates when this is needed.
A standard build is performed by the command:
$ mvn clean install
In order to create Javadoc and source artifacts, perform the following command:
$ mvn clean javadoc:javadoc javadoc:jar source:jar install
The Open eCard project uses Maven profiles to modify how the build is performed and which artifacts are created.
Maven profiles are selected on the commandline by adding the -P option as follows:
$ mvn -Pprofile1,profile2
The following global profiles are defined:
release
Remove debugging symbols from Java bytecode.
The following profiles are module specific:
Module clients/applet
trace-applet
Bundle SLF4J extension artifact, so that the applet can emit trace logs.
Module clients/richclient
windows-installer
Use the WiX tools to create an msi (MicroSoft Installer) package.
The applet
and richclient
modules produce signed artifacts. A dummy
certificate is included in the source distribution, so the build runs in any
case. If another certificate from a trusted CA should be used, then the
following fragment must be inserted into $HOME/.m2/settings.xml
