Developing OpenCms with Maven

[Marc]

Hi,

the opencms-wiki says to use the following command:

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

for \\\\\\\"creating the template of the Opencms-Module\\\\\\\".

For me this results in the following output:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: \\\\\\\'archetype\\\\\\\'.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Building Maven Default Project
[INFO]    task-segment: [archetype:generate] (aggregator-style)

Choose archetype:
   Your filter doesn\\\\\\\'t match any archetype (hint: enter to return to initial list)
Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive contains): :

I don\\\\\\\'t know much about maven, I\\\\\\\'m afraid, but my guess is, that the archetype in
http://bp-cms-commons.sourceforge.net/m2repo/archetype-catalog.xml is not valid.

Also I noticed in the opencms-mailing-list, that there is a repo for 8.0.4 on
http://repo2.maven.org/ now, but also don\\\\\\\'t know how to use.

My goal would be mainly to have an eclipse project with all the dependencies configured correctly
mainly to have full auto-completion and other IDE-support. If I had an already preconfigured webapp
to deploy this would also be nice.
Up til 7.5.2 I was using the maven plugin from comundus, which doesn\\\\\\\'t seem to have support
for version 8 yet.

I\\\\\\\'d be thankful for any hints or advice.

Greetings
Marc Johnen

In thr mailing-list I found the example
http://bp-cms-commons.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bp-cms-commons/opencms_commons/opencms/trunk/

I'll probably be able to get it working from here.

Hi Marc,

I already reported a bug against the archetype catalog: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3525268&group_id=180314&atid=892675. As I mentioned later, I could use the catalog installing the archetype projects locally (downloaded from the sourceforge-scm website).
Unfortunatelly, and as stated in the OpenCms mailing list, currently (2012-05-29) there is only one person maintaining this sourceforge project and the artifacts in the maven central rep in his free time. (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cms.opencms.devel/36569)

Sorry for the late answer.

I fixed the bp-cms-commons - archetype for maven modules (the archetype-catalog.xml File was corrupt):
http://www.opencms-wiki.org/wiki/Developing_OpenCms_with_Maven_%28inkl._Eclipse%29#Developing_OpenCms_with_Maven

The correct archetype-catalog.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><archetype-catalog>
  <archetypes>
    <archetype>
      <groupId>at.infonova.opencms.archetypes</groupId>
      <artifactId>opencms-webapp-archetype</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-B1</version>
      <repository>http://bp-cms-commons.sourceforge.net/m2repo</repository>
      <description>Open Source OpenCms Webapp Archetype (Infonova Sourceforge for OpenCms 7.5.2) Beta 1</description>
    </archetype>
    <archetype>
      <groupId>at.infonova.opencms.archetypes</groupId>
      <artifactId>opencms-module-archetype</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.1</version>
      <repository>http://bp-cms-commons.sourceforge.net/m2repo</repository>
      <description>Open Source OpenCms Module Archetype (Infonova Sourceforge) Version 1.0.1</description>
    </archetype>
  </archetypes>
</archetype-catalog>

with friendly regards,
Harald
