got it

@User uploaded a file:

CLI is the only one with a Java main or is there one in Core and each of the modules?

All under Modules as well as Core and CLI all have their own main

is there both a compile and runtime dependency between CLI and core and cli and the other modules?

Nope.

There is slightly outdated description on the readme here: https://github.com/PerMalmberg/HAP

And you're using the assembly to pull Common into CLI, Common into Core, and Common into each of the Modules' JARs?

yeah

when run, they may not even be on the same sever

I'd encourage the Shade plugin as a nice repeatable pattern that does away with handmade assembly descriptors. It also has the benefit of giving you an avenue to work out things that can't be so cleanly thrown together. Most notably, if you use Spring or Apache CXF, there are often similarly named config files that need to be untangled. Otherwise the build keeps overwriting the same files

see "AppendingTransformer" for how that works if say a bunch of 3rd party jobs have a file "config.xml"

Ok. I'll have a look at it tomorrow

sure. if you need someone to pull and build into a clean slate, let me know. Sometimes the local repository gathers stuff from a previous build that all of a sudden can't be generated

@carlw - you mentioned smartgit - do you recommend it?

highly

I couldn't operate without it

I'm a bit of a git noob and get things screwed up pretty easily sometimes

ha ha - that's exactly what I did this weekend!

we've all been there

Pro tip: Always work in separate branches and merge master/develop to your own branch before attempting to merge your branch back into master/develop

Thanks - will keep that in mind

There's something called Git Flow which manages several branches. develop and master like per mentioned and also feature, release, and hotfix branches SmartGit issues sets of commands to switch branches, create branches, tags, etc And I use the aforementioned Maven POM Updater for release management

if you're on Windows

SmartGit works on all platforms very well. I run it on Linux, Windows and mac regularly. (Favoring Linux because I have a Skylake with 32Gb for faster builds.)

I have been using TortoiseGit but will give SmartGit a try as well...

intellij's git has been getting a lot better. i do that when i'm working tickets. but i need something more powerful when i'm acting as a cm admin

Good night guys. Cya tomorrow
