[Cosmo-dev] Maven 2 conversion -- status report

[Mike Taylor]

I have all of the changes required to have maven 2 compile, test and  
generate a war bundle for Cosmo.

I have almost all of the changes required to build an osaf-server- 
bundle from the two Cosmo war files.  There are a couple of bugs  
specific to the Maven 2 assembly plugin that is causing me trouble:

1) The assembly plugin does not honor file permissions when unpacking  
an archive file.  This means that when the plugin unpacks the tomcat  
zip file all of the tomcat/bin/*.sh files are missing +x
2) The assembly plugin does not carry over empty directories - so the  
logs directory will have to be created by the osfsrvctl.sh script
3) The proper way to reference the Cosmo and Cosmo-docs war files  
would be to use the ${pom.version} variable so that the Snarf  
assembly step would pull the current version and package them, but  
the bug is resolving the pom.version for a SNAPSHOT two different  
ways so the server.xml file ends up with a different version  
reference than the war file copied into tomcat/webapps/

Issue #1 I have a work-around for - basically modfiy osafctrl.sh to  
chmod +x the tomcat/bin/*.sh files before trying to call them.  It's  
a short term hack until I can get the latest version of the assembly  
plugin patched

Issue #3 is a little messier - the work-around for it is to not try  
and pull the war file from the osaf repository but rather reference  
it directly from the cosmo/target/ directory.  This means that when  
you (or actually me since I think I'm the only one building Snarf)  
want to build a Snarf bundle you have to have run "mvn package" in  
the cosmo directory first.

All of these issues are being worked on by the maven-assembly-plugin  
team, it's just a matter of when they get them done.

When I have tested the above work-arounds I get a Snarf bundle that  
seems to be working except that I cannot get the Cosmo login screen  
and I see the following in the log file:

2006-11-30 18:55:10,101 DEBUG [CosmoUrlFilenameViewController]

Now I have verified that the named files are present in tomcat/ 
webapps/cosmo/WEB-INF/cosmo/js/cosmo/ui/ directory and I've also done  
a file/directory diff against my new bundle and a maven 1 generated  
bundle - no differences except the one jar file that is no longer  
needed in a maven 2 build.

Now, if you have followed my ramblings so far, this is where I need  
some dev help.  Can one of you guys take a look at the generated  
Snarf bundle and let me know where I messed up?  To build one you  
will need to do the following:

  - cd to your cosmo trunk tree
  - cd src/main/
  - ln -s ../webapp webapp   (this is needed until we throw the maven  
2 switch)
  - cd ../..
  - mvn clean package (this will compile, test and generate target/ 
cosmo-0.6-SNAPSHOT.war)
  - cd snarf
  - mvn clean assembly:directory

Maven will have created in the dist/ directory the image it would us  
to create the tarball

- cd dist/osaf-server-bundle-0.6-SNAPSHOT-/osaf-server-bundle-0.6- 
SNAPSHOT/   (yes, I know here is a trailing - in there)

This puts you at the base of the snarf bundle - to start cosmo:

- mkdir logs (maven 2 assembly plugin doesn't like empty directories)
- ./bin/osafsrvctl start

thanks!
