Guidance on building command-line tools from source

[Dan Wlodarski]

Looking to build (and possibly customize) a command-line Java JAR from the Membrane SOA source. I know it's possible to build Groovy source into Java executables. When a groovy project has dependencies, as this project does, it's simply a matter of knowing the groovy source compile order. However, attempting to derive this build order would be a tremendous time investment. So I turned to the build scripts included with the github repo. Unfortunately, neither the Maven nor the Docker builders produce anything resembling Java class files for the source under the "distribution" directory. This is where the command line groovy scripts live.

Any insight into what is necessary to build the command line executables from source is appreciated.

Hi,

the project builds the soa-model Jar with Java class files from Groovy source code. See:

 

http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Csoa-model

 

Just add the content of  the groovy-all to your jar.

 

Cheers,

Thomas

Thomas:

Thanks tremendously for your quick reply! However, my Maven-fu is clearly weak; weaker than I'd thought.

I've forked the soa-model Github repository, cloned my fork locally, and imported the repo as an existing Maven project into Eclipse Mars. When I clean and build, however, I still see no executable JAR as a final target. I could just jar the classes that the build produced, I suppose, but the main class I need -- WSDLDiffCLI under the distribution source -- doesn't get compiled to bytecode. Am I missing some Maven build setting?

Thanks again!

Hi,

have a look at the target folder using File explorer.

 

Cheers,

Thomas

Some progress made!

Eclipse Mars is now importing and verifying/installing soa-model/distribution/pom.xml as a Maven project. However, the resulting soa-model-distribution-1.5.4.jar in the target directory returns a "no main manifest attribute" error when run as an executable jar.

Again, thanks for all the help!

Hi,

it is no executable jar. You have to add a main class and a manifest:

Feel free to generate a pull-request in case you add a main.

 

Cheers,
