Before beginning

The Maven Build tutorial below is designed to be used on a Debian built operating system. The maven build is capable of generating the binary files for both Windows and Macintosh, but the steps for producing an executible file for Windows or Mac are not included in this release.

What you'll need to do:

• 1) Install the Sun-JDK [Scripted]
• 2) Add the required project(s) into eclipse.
• 3) Install Maven3 [Scripted]
• 4) Install Tomcat6 [Scripted]
• 5) Create a p2 repository for plugins
• 6) Build the project.

Install the Sun-SDK

Optionally, there is a script for this section, RifidiMavenBuild.sh. Navigate to the script and type sudo sh RifidiMavenBuild.sh

• 1) In the command prompt, type

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk

• 2) In the command prompt, type

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

• 3) Open /etc/jvm and add the top line to read

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

The bottom of the file should read

/urs/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
/usr

Make sure you save and close the file.

• 4) Set up the environment variable by editing the file $HOME/.bash_profile and appending

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
		export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

• 5) You may need to restart the computer at this point to ensure the operating system recognizes the changes that have been made.
• 6) Verify the version is installed correctly by typing (in the shell prompt)

java -version

The output should be similar to

java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)

Add the required project(s) into eclipse.

We recommend and support Eclipse Galileo (3.5) as the programming environment. You'll need to use the SVN repository system to access the open code repository. In the SVN tab, add the repository https://svn.rifidi.rog/svn/rep-edgepublic to gain access to the required base program. The projects you will need to check out are:

• 1) org.rifidi.edge
• 2) org.rifidi.edge.adapter.llrp
• 3) org.rifidi.edge.adapter.alien
• 4) org.rifidi.edge.api
• 5) org.rifidi.edge.init
• 6) org.rifidi.edge.tools
• 7) Rifidi-SDK

3)Install Maven3

• 1) Download the maven 3 tar from:

http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-3.0.3-bin.tar.gz

• 2) In the shell prompt, move the direcotory where the download is stored and enter

tar -xzvf apache-maven-3.0.3-bin.tar.gz

• 3) In the shell prompt, type

sudo mkdir /usr/local/apache-maven

• 4) In the shell prompt, type

sudo cp -r apache-maven-3.0.3 /usr/local/apache-maven/

• 5) Add the maven 3 PATH variables to the environment file located at /etc/environment

NOTE: You'll want you make sure your JAVA_HOME variable points to java-6-sun

The lines you'll need to add are:

M2_HOME = /usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.0.3
MAVEN_HOME = /usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.0.3
M2 = /usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.0.3/bin

• 6) Add the following location to the PATH variable, separated by a ' : '

usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.0.3/bin

• 7) Restart the computer to allow all the changes to this point to take effect.
• 8) In the shell prompt, type

mvn -version

the output should look similar to the following

Apache-maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 12:31:09-05000)
Maven home: /usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.0.3
Java version: 1.6.0_24, vender: sun Microsystems Inc.
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/jre

Install Tomcat6

Simply type into the shell prompt

sudo apt-get install tomcat6

Build the project.

• 1)Open a shell prompt and move to the Rifidi-SDK project.
• 2)In the prompt, type

sh build.sh

NOTE: DO NOT “SUDO” THE ABOVE COMMAND.

• 3)The .deb result will be placed in /Rifidi-SDK/rifidi/Debian-packages
