Java Web Application Development With Click Framework/Building

< Java Web Application Development With Click Framework

Click uses an Ant based build system for creating JAR files, application WAR files and the Click distribution.

Build Configuration

edit

The configuration of the Click Ant build system is detailed below: 

  --[build]                      Ant build directory
 |   |
 |    ---build.xml               Ant build script
 |   |
 |    ---build.properties        Ant build properties
 |
  --[dist]                       JAR and WAR file output directory
 |
  --[documentation]              Click documentation set application
 |
  --[examples]                   Click Examples application
 |   |
 |    ---build.xml               Ant build script
 |   |
 |    ---README.txt              Click Examples Readme file
 |
  --[extras]                     Click Extras source directory
 |
  --[framework]                  Click framework source directory
 |
  --[lib]                        Dependent JAR libraries directory
 |
  --[mock]                       Mock objects source directory

Build Requirements

edit

Ensure the following requirements are met before performing builds:

  1. Ensure JAVA_HOME environment variable is set and points to a JDK installation (1.4 or later).
  2. Ensure ANT_HOME environment variable is set and points to an Ant installation (1.7.0 or later).
  3. Ensure junit.jar is present in your ANT_HOME/lib directory.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Getting Dependencies

edit

Run the Ant target get-deps to download JAR dependencies from Ibiblio Maven repository:

ant get-deps

If you are behind a firewall use the Ant target get-deps-proxy and configure your proxy settings in build.properties 

# Proxy hostname used by Ant target 'get-deps-proxy'
proxy.host=192.168.0.3
 
# Proxy port for by Ant target 'get-deps-proxy'
proxy.port=3128

Building Framework

edit

To build the Click framework JAR file click.jar

  1. Ensure the above configurations have been made and get-deps has been run.
  2. Run the Ant target build-framework to build the framework:
ant build-framework

Building Extras

edit

Click Extras JAR file click-extras.jar

  1. Ensure the above configurations have been made and get-deps has been run.
  2. Run the Ant targets framework and build-extras:
ant build-framework build-extras

Building Examples

edit

To build the Click Examples and Click QuickStart web application WAR files:

  1. Please see the examples/README.txt file, ensuring the required properties have been configured and the dependencies downloaded.
  2. Ensure the above configurations have been made and get-deps has been run.
  3. Run the Ant target build-all:
ant build-all
