The Qualipso Factory is composed of several modules.
Some are essential to the factory. "factory-core" is such a package.
Some are tests packages. The goal of those are to be able to test the other modules simulating client access. "factory-core-test" is such a package.
Some are additionnal services, that could be added to the Factory in order to add functionnality. "factory-service-git" is such a package.
Finally, the last module is the one that package everything together in a readily-executable item, that is an EAR file, ready to be deployed in a JBoss server. This module is "factory-package-basic"
Every compilation is done through the maven utility. The maven utility should be called in each module that need to be compiled. The last module that should be compiled is theone doing the final packaging, that is "factory-package-basic".
Go in the "factory-core" package, and type the following command:
mvn install
The command will compile the project, run its unit tests, package it in the correct format, and copy a version in the specific maven folder, in order for it to be easily referenced by other modules.
Go in the folder containing the module that you want to compile, for example "factory-service-git", and type the following command:
mvn install
Repeat the operation for all and every module that you want to be included in the factory.
Go in the "factory-package-basic" module. Edit the "pom.xml" file so that all the necessary services are put as dependencies. Type the following command:
mvn package
The command will package all services specified as dependencies in its "pom.xml" file, and create a corresponding EAR file in the "target" folder.
