I was able to solve this problem in a relatively clean way. Improvements are certainly welcome! Although Gradle does not support multiple settings.gradle scripts out of the box, it is possible to create individual sub-projects each with their own settings.gradle file. Let’s say you have multi-project A that depends on multi-project B, each with their … Read more
It took me a while and it also took me taking small snippets from a number of different sources and melting them together, but I think I have a small working example that sufficiently demonstrates to a Perl newbie the Perl build process including unit testing and code coverage analysis & reporting. (I’m using ActiveState … Read more
You can’t directly ignore folders on a checkout, but you can use sparse checkouts in svn 1.5. For example: $ svn co http://subversion/project/trunk my_checkout –depth immediates This will check files and directories from your project trunk into ‘my_checkout’, but not recurse into those directories. Eg: $ cd my_checkout && ls bar/ baz foo xyzzy/ Then … Read more
Maven 3 (as of beta 1) now supports parallel builds as an experimental feature. For example, mvn -T 4 clean install # Builds with 4 threads mvn -T 1C clean install # 1 thread per cpu core mvn -T 1.5C clean install # 1.5 thread per cpu core Full documentation can be found on the … Read more
Just for reference. The joys of Maven. Putting the relative path of the modules to ../pom.xml solved it. The parent element has a relativePath element that you need to point to the directory of the parent. It defaults to ..
I looked into maven about six months ago. We were starting a new project, and didn’t have any legacy to support. That said: Maven is all-or-nothing. Or at least as far as I could tell from the documentation. You can’t easily use maven as a drop-in replacement for ant, and gradually adopt more advanced features. … Read more
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <mainClass>fully.qualified.MainClass</mainClass> </manifest> </archive> <descriptorRefs> <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef> </descriptorRefs> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> and you run it with mvn clean compile assembly:single Compile goal should be added before assembly:single or otherwise the code on your own project is not included. See more details in comments. Commonly this goal is tied to … Read more
tl;dr: Non-existent verification mechanisms in Maven and missing language constructs in the POM’s DSL are a serious security threat. Until MNG-6026 is addressed, use someting like Gradle Witness. Introduction None of the answers provided so far seem to solve the problem. Signing artifacts is only a first step into the right direction. But the condition … Read more
Update: Jenkins is the most up to date version of Hudson. Everyone should be using Jenkins now. I’ll be updating the links accordingly. Hudson is free and extremely easy to configure and will easily run on a VM. Partly from an old post of mine: We use it to Deploy Windows services Deploy web services … Read more
Use “Disable error reporting”, as Mr. Gently suggests. See also this PC World article. If you happen to have MS Visual Studio on your build machine, it will catch Application Errors and pop up a dialog box. To disable these dialogs (and also the Just-In-Time Debugging feature of Visual Studio), run the command drwtsn32.exe -i … Read more
