Triquetrum/Ptolemy/osgi-2-0

This page is notes about how the Ptolemy II osgi-2-0 repository that contains the Ptolemy II sources used by Triquetrum was set up. It is probably not that useful to most people.

Setting up a nightly build

We would like to set up a nightly build, so we want to run Maven, create jar files and make them available somehow.

See Check out the ptII osgi-2-0 branch for getting access to the Ptolemy II osgi-2-0 repository

Creating pom files

POM-less Tycho Builds suggests creating osgi-2-0/.mvn/extensions.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extensions>
  <extension>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho.extras</groupId>
    <artifactId>tycho-pomless</artifactId>
    <version>0.24.0</version>
  </extension>
</extensions>

The Eclipse Tycho Tutorial suggests:

 cd osgi-2-0
 mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-pomgenerator-plugin:generate-poms -DgroupId=ptolemy

This creates osgi-2-0/pom.xml and other */pom.xml files.

We then remove the */pom.xml files that were created:

 rm */pom.xml

Running mvn

The Eclipse Tycho Tutorial suggests running

 mvn clean verify

The tutorial states:

"Tip: It is not recommended to use the mvn clean install command, instead you should use mvn clean verify. If you would use the install option, the build result would be installed in your local Maven repository and this can lead to build problems.

The tutorial states:

"Warning If you try to execute this POM file, the build fail because you have not yet configured your dependencies."

If we run

mvn clean

we get

[ERROR] Cannot resolve project dependencies:
