Building iDempiere without Eclipse

⇐ Table of Contents | Creating Installers from Eclipse | Building iDempiere without Eclipse

It is possible to build iDempiere without Eclipse, using maven.

Install maven

• Install the prerequisite Maven

apt-get install maven

Clone iDempiere code

• Clone the repository you downloaded on Download the Code step (you can also use your actual installation, but I prefer to clone it to avoid mixing environments)

cd $HOME/sources  # Or use the folder where you downloaded the idempiere project
hg clone idempiere testheadless

Materialize and build the project

• Navigate to the folder

cd $HOME/sources/testheadless

• Position in the branch you want to compile

# if building development (default) branch
hg update default

# if building release 7.1 branch
hg update release-7.1

• Build

mvn verify -U

• After this step the uncompressed servers can be found at:

# linux 64 bit version
$HOME/sources/testheadless/org.idempiere.p2/target/products/org.adempiere.server.product/linux/gtk/x86_64

# windows 64 bit version
$HOME/sources/testheadless/org.idempiere.p2/target/products/org.adempiere.server.product/win32/win32/x86_64

You can compress those folders with your preferred compressor to use them as installers.
