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)
