[tycho-user] Dealing with warproduct

[david.fradin@xxxxxxx]

Hello,

Holger Staudacher' warproduct is very
usefull for exporting Equinox war product from Eclipse. But I didn't find
how to mavenize this kind of project.
For testing, I have tried to make a
pom that deals with warproduct in Tycho. Surprisingly, it was "easy"
because warproduct is very similar to product.
Perhaps you can help me to improve the
method or give me a simplier alternative.

I have some questions :
        -
is it possible to force tycho director plugin to use other extension than
.product ? Perhaps a configuration to force product filename...
        -
is there a plan to deal with warproduct in Tycho ? Or is it possible to
add it ?

At the moment, I can just package OSGI/Equinox
 war with Tycho (I didn't deal with RAP). My goal is making OSGI Web
services for Tomcat
My source is RAP demo : thanks for that
         
      https://eclipse.googlesource.com/rap/org.eclipse.rap/+/2.2.0-R/releng/org.eclipse.rap.examples.build/rapdemo/product/pom.xml

The followings described how to do :
- A maven module for web service source
code with packaging type : eclipse-plugin.
        it
contains : all java classes and component.xml if needed
        I
use OSGi JAX-RS Connector (also from Holger Staudacher) for annotated them
as Web services.
- A maven module for war product :
        it
contains :
         
      WEB-INF directory with launch.ini and web.xml
         
      the warproduct modified to point on this web.xml
The pom.xml of this last module is the
same as RAP demo. The only problem is the config.ini path : 
        -
is there a way to use variables instead of win32/win32/x86
?
       
        <file>target/products/${project.artifactId}/win32/win32/x86/configuration/config.ini</file>

The assembly.xml is slightly different
: 
<assembly>
        <id>osgi-rest-example-war</id>
        <formats>
         
      <format>war</format>
        </formats>
        <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
        <fileSets>
         
      <fileSet>
       
               
<!-- TODO : path with variables
? -->
         
              <directory>${basedir}/target/products/${artifactId}/win32/win32/x86</directory>
         
              <outputDirectory>/WEB-INF</outputDirectory>
         
              <excludes>
         
               
      <exclude>plugins/javax.servlet*.jar</exclude>
         
               
      <exclude>artifacts.xml</exclude>
         
               
      <exclude>p2/**</exclude>
         
              </excludes>
         
      </fileSet>
         
      <fileSet>
         
              <directory>${basedir}/WEB-INF</directory>
         
              <outputDirectory>/WEB-INF</outputDirectory>
         
      </fileSet>
         
      <fileSet>
         
              <directory>${basedir}/target/products/${artifactId}/win32/win32/x86/plugins</directory>
         
              <outputDirectory>/WEB-INF/lib</outputDirectory>
         
              <includes>
         
               
      <include>org.eclipse.equinox.servletbridge_*.jar</include>
         
              </includes>
         
      </fileSet>
        </fileSets>
</assembly>


For now, I have to rename warproduct
into product before because I can't force product filename :
       
               
<plugin>
         
               
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
         
               
      <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
         
               
      <version>1.7</version>
         
               
      <executions>
         
               
              <execution>
         
               
               
      <id>create_product_from_warproduct</id>
         
               
               
      <phase>validate</phase>
         
               
               
      <configuration>
         
               
               
              <target
name="copy
and rename file">
         
               
               
               
      <copy
file="${basedir}/${project.artifactId}.warproduct"
         
               
               
               
              tofile="${basedir}/${project.artifactId}.product"
overwrite="true"
failonerror="true"/>
         
               
               
              </target>
         
               
               
      </configuration>
         
               
               
      <goals>
         
               
               
              <goal>run</goal>
         
               
               
      </goals>
         
               
              </execution>
         
               
      </executions>
         
              </plugin>
