[Engine-devel] maven settings.xml in building ovirt engine wiki

[Noam Slomianko]

Oh, sorry.
Didnt notice it was sent to an ovit mailing list :D

so, my solution is:

create two different files (containing at least):

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
                              http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">

<!--**************************** PROFILES ****************************-->

        <localRepository>{maven_home}/{repository}</localRepository>

        <activeProfiles>
                        <activeProfile>oVirtEnvSettings</activeProfile>
        </activeProfiles>

        <profiles>
                <profile>
                        <id>oVirtEnvSettings</id>
                        <properties>
                                <jbossHome>{jboss location}</jbossHome>
                                <JAVA_HOME>{java location}</JAVA_HOME>
                                <gwt.userAgent>gecko1_8</gwt.userAgent>
                        </properties>
                </profile>
         </profiles>
</settings> 

Between the two file you change:
 - {jboss location}, self explanatory
 - {java location}, only if they are of a different version
 - {repository}, so you dont get conflicting packages
Of course they shouldn't be called Settings.xml


And then add a change script so its easy to switch via a soft link, mine is:
if [ $1 = "up" ]
then
        rm ~/.m2/settings.xml
        ln -s ~/.m2/settingsUp.xml ~/.m2/settings.xml
        echo "changed jboss to upstream (1.7)"
else
        rm ~/.m2/settings.xml
        ln -s ~/.m2/settingsDown.xml ~/.m2/settings.xml
        echo "changed jboss to downstream (1.6)"
fi

The Intranet is a black hole... documents can only go in never to be found again.
I needed to go back 3 months in my browsing history to find this, because why should it be found with keywords like upstream or downstream :P

https://home.corp.redhat.com/wiki/working-downstream-and-upstream-parallel

Have fun,
Noam.

Hi,

I can't seem to find it, but i think there was a wiki page about working with multiple environments (Upstream/Downstream/ZStream...)

Currently I'm using soft links to the setting.xml and .m2 repo. That way i can jump safely and quickly between environments.
The paths are hard codded in the xml but i have few xml files ponting to different jdk and jboss.

Hi,

That too could work, but once it already needs to be in the settings.xml, why would you want another configuration file (like .bashrc)?
