How to build pentaho big-data-plugin from source

[Samruddhi Singhal]

Hi All,

I am trying to build pentaho big-data-plugin from source using master branch on a container running in ubuntu VM.

As per the following build steps present at github I have used "ant" to build it. Since there is no build.xml file, it fails.

$ git clone git://github.com/pentaho/big-data-plugin.git
$ cd big-data-plugin
$ ant

Can anyone please guide me what are the exact steps to build pentaho big-data-plugin?

However I have tried following steps to build using maven -

1. Install ant, maven, jdk, git, wget and set appropriate environment variable 

2. Clone master branch 

3. To fix some download errors regarding dependent packages, updated settings.xml (/usr/local/apache-maven-3.3.9/conf/settings.xml). Under <profiles>, add repositories to download dependent packages (pom and jar files of dependent packages)

<profiles>

  <profile>

      <id>pentaho</id>

      <repositories>

        <repository>

          <id>pentaho_org_repo</id>

          <name>Repository for pentaho </name>

                                   <url>http://repo.pentaho.org/content/groups/omni/org/pentaho/</url>

        </repository>

        <repository>

          <id>pentaho_repo</id>

          <name>Repository for pentaho </name>

          <url>http://repo.pentaho.org/content/groups/omni/</url>

        </repository>

      </repositories>

  </profile>

<profile>

<activeProfiles>

    <activeProfile>pentaho</activeProfile>

 </activeProfiles>

 

4. Not able to download snapshot version (0.7.7.SNAPSHOT) of jacoco maven plugin, so updated pom.xml (big-data-plugin/pom.xml) with different version of jacoco plugin under <plugins>

<plugin>

        <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>

       <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>

       <version>0.7.7.201606060606</version>

</plugin>

 

5. Build project

cd big-data-plugin/

mvn -f pom.xml clean package

 

Please confirm if above steps are also correct to build it.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Samruddhi
