jist:AntBuild

From NITRC Wiki

All open source plugins may now be retrieved and built using ant.

• Step 0. Test your system.

    Ant version 1.7.1 or newer required: ant -version
    Java JDK 1.6.0 or newer required: java -version AND javac -version

• Step 1. Download the build files.

    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.nitrc.org:/cvsroot/jist checkout build

• Step 2: Edit the build/build.properties file.

    Set mipav= to the absolute path as to where mipav is install. 
    Note: ~/mipav will not work. Ant requires the full path, such as  /home/bnennett/mipav-4-3-0

• Step 2: Alternate: Configure ant for named user-checkout.
  • If you would like to check out the build files as a specific user, so that you may (depending on permissions) check in modified source code, then edit the userpass tag in build.properties.

# Define workspace directories for projects to include in the jar file
mipav=/home/bennett/mipav-4.2.3
# Set your NITRC username and password. Used only if you modify the build.xml 
# checkout section to gain write-access
userpass=<user>:<pass>

• • Additionally, you will need to comment out the

    <!-- Read Access -->

    section of build.xml and uncomment the

    <!-- Write Access -->

    section. If there is substantial demand for this capability, we can retool the ant file to provide additional support for write-access.

• Step 3: Ant Tasks: checkout, clean, compile, deploy

    Use the shortcut: ant all from the build/ folder to run all tasks. Alternatively, each may be run independently. 

• • This results in two jars in the jars folder. The "JIST-BASE" jar contains NO plugins. The "JIST" jar contains both the base and the plugins. We distribute the JIST jar on NITRC: http://www.nitrc.org/frs/?group_id=228

• Step 4 (optional): You may rebuild the Javadoc API documentaiton

    ant javadoc

• • The resulting webpages in the doc folder are the update version of the | JavaDoc API and | Module (Algorithm) Doc listed on our NITRC toolbar.
