Shibboleth Developers

[<>]

For all people which need to compile and deploy Shibboleth java source. 

usefull tips.

Use Eclispe IDE 3.5 (Helios)

go to menu help/Install new Software
1 : Install subversion at (for SVN) at 
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x

restart eclipse...

go to menu help/Install new Software
2 : Install maven 2  plug in at
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e

restart eclipse...

go to menu help/Install new Software, 
3: install extra maven software for subversion at 
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras/site-extras-0.10.0

restart eclipse...

For download shibboleth source
goto https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/SourceAccess to choose 
use svn URL https://svn.middleware.georgetown.edu/[REPO_NAME] 
Some Repository name are not listed in html table, you need to  read carefully
this page or other in shibboleth's site.

Add project in your workspace :
In eclispe goto menu File/ New...
Choose Maven/Checkout maven projects from SCM
indicate URL and svn for SCM...

Finally the source is in your eclispe IDE!!!!


usually choose the pom.xml , click right with your mouse, and choose
"install".

Bug :
The install command launch always the Tests, and sometimes (always...) fail
the built.
I didn't found a easy way to add parameter in maven command like
-"DskipTests=true install" to skip test.
My solution (bad may be...) is to add in pom.xml the tag <skip>true</skip> for
plugin test like this exemple :
--------------------------
   <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                       <skip>true</skip>
                
                  <argLine>-Xmx256m</argLine>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
-------------------------------------

Hope, it could be help you!

best regards
