Building Opencms 9.5.x from the sources

Note: this is work in progress

Building opencms-core

1. Checkout the sources of the 9_0_x branch¹:

git clone https://github.com/alkacon/opencms-core.git -b branch_9_0_x

2. Execute the gradle bindist task:

gradle bindist

3. If you want to also build the opencms oamp, v8 or v7 modules, you also need to install in your local maven repository the corresponding jars²:

gradle install

Building alkacom-oamp

1. Checkout the sources of the 9_0_x branch

git clone https://github.com/alkacon/alkacon-oamp.git -b branch_9_0_x

2. Execute the gradle bindist task³:

gradle bindist

Notes

1. Checking out the tagged build_9_0_1 and executing gradle fails with the following message:

> Could not find property 'distribution' on configuration ':compile'.

2. Currently, the javadocs are broken and gradle fails with the following message:

[...]
100 errors
100 warnings
:javadoc FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':javadoc'.
[...]

I have written a pull-request to work around this issue: https://github.com/alkacon/opencms-core/pull/278

3. Currently, gradle fails with the following message:

> DOCTYPE is disallowed when the feature "http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl" set to true.
