Developing OpenCms with Maven

Creating the template of the Opencms-Module is as easy as executing:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://bp-cms-commons.sourceforge.net/m2repo

Select option 1, set properties and that's all!

See http://bp-cms-commons.sourceforge.net/m2site/infonova/archetypes/opencms-module-archetype/1.0.1/

Pros

  • Build with Maven: you can use all Maven Plugins to analyze your code.
  • The maven release plugin works also fine.
  • Eclipse: create your Eclipse-config with "mvn eclipse:eclipse"
  • UnitTests: Real OpenCms Unittest which starts an Opencms instance and reas OpenCms configurations already works.

Limitation

  • ArtifactId must be the OpenCms Module Name (This simplify the build-Process)

Recommendations

For your own Project you should copy the parent pom.xml and modify it (at least SCM and distributionManagement section):
