[opencms-dev] OpenCms IDE-support (maven or other solutions)

[Harald Brabenetz]

Hi,

Module Project:
------------------
I fixed the bp-cms-commons - archetype for maven modules (the archetype-catalog.xml File was corrupt):
http://www.opencms-wiki.org/wiki/Developing_OpenCms_with_Maven_%28inkl._Eclipse%29#Developing_OpenCms_with_Maven
This is the easiest way to create an opencms module with maven (build with 'mvn install', create eclipse config with 'mvn eclipse:eclipse', and so on ...)
An update to OpenCms 8.0.4 (on the central maven repo) should not be difficult (you must update the version in pom.xml and maybe update the default opencms-configurations for the unittests).

Deployment:
------------------
For deployment on my local opencms-instance during development, I used the following process:
1. shutdown tomcat with opencms
2. build and copy my opencms modules zip-Files to a temporary folder
3. use cmsshell to delete/import/replace the modules:
   http://lists.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2011q2/035769.html
4. restart tomcat with opencms
(This four steps can also be done automatically)

The cmsshell script for Unix works fine, but I must have replaced the Windows-Batch script with the following:
http://bp-cms-commons.sourceforge.net/m2site/opencms/opencms-basic/7.5.4.1/patches/cmsshell.bat

OpenCms-WAR:
------------------
For Creating a preconfigured OpenCms-WAR which already have your Modules included, then make a look to the following Project:
http://bp-cms-commons.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bp-cms-commons/opencms_commons/opencms/tags/opencms-8.0.4/
(One WAR-Project depends on the others. Single config-Files can be overwritten within /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config/. Modules can be added as simple dependency in the pom.xml)

I hope this helps.

With friendly regards,
Harald
