Third-party libraries version / naming convention

nis — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 17:07:59 GMT

Hello,I have some question about third-party libraries naming :1) have you the version of all used third-party librairies in Alfresco ?2) have you think to use the Maven naming convention ? (http://maven.apache.org/)acegi-security-0.8.2.jaractivation.jar -> version ?addressing-1.0.jarantlr-2.7.5H

Re: Third-party libraries version / naming convention

gavinc — Fri, 17 Feb 2006 09:46:24 GMT

Yes, you're right we should use a naming convention similar to Maven, we have on some of the JARs but not all :wink:

I have raised a JIRA task to address this: http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/BDE-26

In the meantime, a majority of the time you can look at the manifest in the JAR file to find the version.

For those you highlighted in red the versions are:

activation.jar - 1.2.0
aopalliance - 1.0
axis.jar - 1.2.1
bcel - 5.1

Hi

We just started the process of integrating alfresco as our content store recently and had run into depedency management issues, and I am wondering if there is any plan to actually use maven2 as a part of the build? We have developed a skeleton maven build descriptor for alfreso we are using internally to ease our integration process and would like to share it with you.

Re: Third-party libraries version / naming convention

nis — Thu, 23 Mar 2006 16:23:19 GMT

We're working in the same way. I have built a pom.xml file (maven 2) with 50+ dependencies for the moment.

We don't currently have any plans to develop a maven2 build but that doesnn't mean we won't

Out of interest how have you found maven2? Is it better/easier/quicker than maven 1.x?

We would certainly be interested in anything you have to offer in terms of maven build scripts, it may get integrated sooner rather than later then :wink:

Maven2 is a completely different environment than maven 1.x.
Maven team claims maven2 builds faster than ant, and while I am not 100% convinced, I wouldn't shocked if it indeed is the case.

Our project contains (currently) 7 sub-projects (one of which is alfresco build for depedency management). When we were on maven 1.1 (no alfresco at that time), the build could take as long as 5 minutes when it was running online. If running it in offline mode, it would take about 3 minute. The build time included some basic junit tests.

With maven 2.x, the whole build, as well as building war/jar etc takes about minute and half. I could tweak the build setting if i don't need to run unit tests or build war, etc, and i can cut it down to 30 secs or so. Big improvement I should say.

Considering alfresco contains A LOT OF dependencies, and I don't mean to be too presumptious, but quite frankly I would suspect some of the dependencis, you guys don't even know which version you are using. (I had to track down odf_utils and compared the file size to find which version you were using). Plus if alfresco is going to pitch embeded deploy model, I think it makes a very good sense that you guys can say which depedencies you are using etc and make sure you are not breaching any license issue. For example, currently alfresco is being distributed along with some of the java specs such as java mail, activation, which from my understanding, is not allowed. So having a good snapshot of which dependencies you are using, it will help you guys I think (and in turn vendors like us).

Pros:
- Transitive depdency management (but this could be a con too)
- More structurally sound multi-project support
- More controlled management of plugins (means it lacks some plugins but thigns are more stable).
- Very good support for eclipse.

Cons:
- If the depedencies are not found in the maven central repository, you have to maintain your own repository as well.
- Unless you learn maven well, the build time could still be slow. (You need to learn the various flags as well as understanding of mirror repository sites etc to optimize your build).
- Syncing up maven build with eclipse build can still be tricky (but we are now 99% integrated with maven/eclipse/eclipse webtools currently).
- Maven 2 is a complete rewrite. The concept is same as 1.1, but you will need to learn almost from the scratch (but it's that big of a deal either).

Where can I post our maven build files?

Very interesting feedback on maven, thanks very much.

You can post the maven build files as a contribution. Go to JIRA (http://www.alfresco.org/jira) and click on the Build/Dev Environment project, then click "Create New Issue". Choose "Contribution" as the issue type and you can then post files to the new issue.

Re: Third-party libraries version / naming convention

yujin_kim — Mon, 27 Mar 2006 14:13:58 GMT

Cool. I'll do that in a few. Just a quick note. Looking at the tasks listed you have listed under jira, I think a fair amount of those tasks will be very easily accomplished in maven (clover, javadoc, version #, version naming convention, etc.)

Hello;
I managed to build alfresco using maven2.
–> the alfresco.war file this is
(not with the standard jibx plugin cause this fails over the binding file being not valid so I used an ant task for this)
If anyone is interested…

Please check the jira (http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/BDE-32) and give it a go on the maven build scripts.

the only thing you are required to do is change eclipse project name to match the artifactId found in pom.xml of each projects. the reason is artifactId is used as a jar file name and the project names you are using is not in supported format.

also made webcliient's project name as "aflresco" because it makes it easier when integrating with webtools which will be discussed later here.

so to get this to work do the following:
- install maven 2.0.2 or above and put maven's bin directory in your path
- create a new workspace and do a fresh check out from svn
- you need to set up a local repository server that's accessible from the web. (refer to alfresco-parent/src/main/scripts/mavenDependencyDeploy.sh). This is to cover the depedencies that's not available from maven's central repo, including the custom patched jars.
- remove all eclipse related files (.classpath, .project, etc).
- unzip the file (aflresco-maven2.zip) from [alfresco source]/root/projects directory.
- from alfresco-parent, run "mvn eclipse:eclipse". this generates eclipse project files including webtools files. refresh your eclipse when done.
- from alfresco-parent, run "mvn install' to compile. refresh your eclipse when done.
- if you have webtools 1.0.1 in your eclipse, set up a server and you should be able to mount alfresco to the server instance. (but not working 100% due to some other issues)

now this build is not fully functional (ie if you do a clean build inside eclipse, jibx doesn't run and causes the problems.) but you will see you can manage your dependencies fairly easily.

Please send me any questions/comments and I would be more than happy to assit you to walk you through the process. (even a phone conversation or IM converstaion is a possibility depending on how eager you are to get thsi to work on your end.)

jibx doesn't run and causes the problems:

The jibx plugin for maven2 does not work correctly, make an ant task for this in the pomfile of the repository project.

should look like (paths will differ):

<plugin>
             <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
             <executions>
               <execution>

                 <configuration>
                   <tasks>
                     <taskdef name="bind" classname="org.jibx.binding.ant.CompileTask"
                     classpath="src/main/java/ant/jibx-bind.jar;src/main/java/ant/jibx-run.jar;src/main/java/ant/bcel.jar;src/main/java/ant/xpp3.jar" />
                     <bind verbose="false" load="true" binding="/src/main/java/org/alfresco/repo/dictionary/m2binding.xml">
                    <classpathset dir="target/classes"/>
               </bind>

                   </tasks>

Hello,

I don't seem to have access to the JIRA issue anymore. Is there any working link to above mentionned maven pom files or would it be possible to post them directly in this post?

Thanks very much,

Embedding Alfresco 2.0 server components to Liferay portlet seems to be tricky. Creating Alfresco 2.0 maven script would mean of digging out version number of 50 libraries, and creating own artifacts for at least some patched and beta libraries. Also, in addition to that, it would be needed to really check that no other than mentioned patched versions are modified. Since we have other set of libraries already in use, we would also need to make compromises of what to use, and which versions of ours are compatible with ones used at Alfresco. Alfresco uses some of beta versions, where it might not be guaranteed that they are compatible with anything before or after that version. All this makes my head bit dizzy, and I leave to hope that alfresco team would make this work to me in upcoming 2.1 version. Since that our Alfresco based applications might not be deployed to JBoss.

Hi all,
maybe you can be interested on this project I opened on Forge:

http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/m2alfresco

It aims to have iteratively:

1. A maven-assembly-plugin configuration for creating the AMP structure
2. A maven-archetype for building extensions (correctly configured pom and previously mentioned assembly configuration)
3. A maven-alfresco-plugin which wraps the MMT to make lifecycle management all under maven control
4. NICE TO HAVE : build alfresco with maven (maybe you can provide some pom already)

Join join join 😉

Ciao,
Gab

This post for several reasons :

1. I am working on construction of an Alfresco 2.1.0 pom file that you could find below :
You can see that some dependencies cannot be found on Internet repositories. You have to manage your own repo, donwload jars and install dependencies on your local repo to use this pom.

The pom manages most of current Alfresco 2.1.0 dependencies and all necessary dependencies. Some jars have still to be added.

2. I tried to create a project using this pom to work on alfresco extension and customization : I don't have any error anymore but my tomcat start, make things, create tables, repository, etc. but never stop. I let it do during an entire night and when i came back it was still starting and logging : Is someone know what could produce such an effect ?

3. Is an official alfresco-maven integration project in curse or in project ? I really think that, today, a maven architecture is necessary for big projects .. and alfresco is a big project. I think that such an initiative could develop use of Alfresco and integration into open source (or not) projects.

Thanks for answers and feedbacks, enhancements, etc.

Hi Baptiste,
I have been working a lot with Maven and Alfresco, especially in enterprise environments where versioning, releasing and dependency management can be really important and tricky.
That's why I've put my efforts in releasing a maven2 archetype which can be used for building Alfresco extensions (and soon AMP, I hope) and managing the artifact in its whole lifecycle as m2 prescribes, e.g providing features like:

- Property filtering
- Rapid prototyping (common properties already available to the - junior - developer rather than Spring conf files)
- Releasing
- Documentation site
- LDAP configuration samples
- Local/remote deploy on tomcat/jboss with cargo
- jetty embedded run

Results are in the m2alfresco forge project here

http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/m2alfresco/,

and the documentation site with the zero conf command to run are here:

http://repository.sourcesense.com/maven2-sites/maven-alfresco-extension-archetype-1.0.0/.

Now the geek part

I used almost your same convention, but you can have a look at the public repo with only community artifacts available (for obvious redistribution rules):
http://repository.sourcesense.com/maven2/alfresco/

Basically the war build overlays the extension to the alfresco WAR dependency (that brings already all the dependencies inside WEB-INF/lib, so no real pom.xml for it). All the other dependencies are directly set by the extension pom.xml with scope="provided" so that they don't get included again in the overlay phase.
I agree that a an Alfresco pom is the most correct approach but I want to have it released by Alfresco itself in order to have the support and all the stuff for my clients.

Maybe you can join the project in the forge and contribute all the (advanced pom studies you've done here in the main pom of the archetype.

Every feedback would be really appreciated.

Ciao!

Gabriele

PS:
BTW, sources are still in Sourcesense private repos but I'm going to move to the forge soon. Sources are available anyways in the maven repo http://repository.sourcesense.com/maven2/com/sourcesense/alfresco/maven-alfresco-extension-archetype/ and in the forge http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/?group_id=90.

BTW,
the project also supports ant, as I believe we shold not impose a technology for building while trying to adapt our technology to open source de facto (typically high) standards of development.

M2 offers much more features, but its learning curve may scare. Ant is provided for more low profile contexts and test drives (and I probably won't support it for soo long

See http://forge.alfresco.com/docman/view.php/90/1644/README-ANT.txt for more info.

Ciao and HTH,
Gab

I know have an open issue on the Jira (and in the enterprise ACT), maybe you want to vote for it (I'd love to have the Alfresco POM):

https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ETHREEOH-1090

Ciao!
