    This chapter is for Jaspersoft Internal Developers and for Advanced Developers who want to use some of the additional options available through the buildomatic property settings.

    Internal Developers and Advanced Developers

    TIBCO Jaspersoft provides a Maven repository using Artifactory to hold all third party components required to build the server's source code. It also acts as a proxy for the standard public Maven repositories such as repo1.maven.org.

    This internal repository is convenient for internal Jaspersoft developers because the developer can point to one location to get all dependencies resolved.

    In default_master.properties, internal developers should comment out maven.build.type=repo and repo-path=<path>:

    # maven.build.type=repo

    # repo-path=<path>

    External developers (customers) who download the TIB_js-jrs-cp_8.0.0_src.zip package from jaspersoft.com should set all the properties described in Configuring the Buildomatic Properties before building JasperReports Server.

    Additional buildomatic property settings are available for advanced external developers. If you're an external developer working within an enterprise or on a project that has an internal Maven repository server, you can use the mirror value. The following property settings and values will enable a local Maven repository:

    maven.build.type=mirror

    mvn-mirror=<repo-url>

    If you're an external developer with other build configurations to add, you can do this with the maven.build.type=custom property setting. If you set this value, the following file will be used as the template to set up the JasperReports Server build configuration:

    <js-path>/buildomatic/conf_source/templates/maven_settings_custom.xml

    You can edit this file to add whatever configurations you want.

    When buildomatic auto-setup is complete, you can see the final maven settings file used for the JasperReports Server here:

    <js-path>/buildomatic/build_conf/default/maven_settings_custom.xml

    Additional Properties in default_master.properties

    You can use the properties in the table below for various customizations of the JasperReports Server build:

    Property Setting

    Purpose

    SKIP_TEST_ARG=skipTests

    Enable this property to skip unit test execution. This will speed the source build.

    VERBOSE_LOGGING=true

    Enable this property to increase the INFO logging from the Maven package.

    OFFLINE_ARG=-o

    Enable this property if you want to build in “offline” mode. To run in offline mode you need to have successfully built JasperServer at least once.

    SKIP_EXPORT_FILES=true

    Enable this property to skip the copying of files that set up the command line import-export configuration. This saves time on file copying.

    maven.build.type=repo

    Use this setting for the build type if you've downloaded the source code zip package from the jaspersoft.com site, and you're building the source code as a customer (external developer) would build it. You'll also need to set the repo-path property. maven.build.type=repo is the default value used in the sample <dbType>_master.properties files.

    maven.build.type=community

    Use this setting for the build type if you're building only the Community source code. This setting supports Community members who have checked out JasperReports Server source code from the Community site:

    code.jaspersoft.com/svn/repos/jasperserver

    maven.build.type=mirror

    If you're an external developer who has a central Maven style repository for your enterprise or project, you can use this setting to specify the local central repository. If you set this property value, you should also set the mvn-mirror property.

    maven.build.type=custom

    If you're an external developer whose build requires additional configurations, you can use this property value to support them. In this case, use the following template file:

    <js-path>/buildomatic/conf_source/templates/
    maven_settings_custom.xml
    .

    You can manually edit this file to add more configurations. The file will be processed by buildomatic and copied to its final location after executing a buildomatic command:

    buildomatic/build_conf/default/maven_settings_custom.xml

    mvn-mirror=<repo-url>

    mvn-mirror=http://mvnrepo.jaspersoft.com:8081/artifactory/repo

    The value shown is the default repo-url used by Jaspersoft internal development.

    repo-path=<path>

    Set a local path value for this property if you are using maven.build.type=repo (this is the default configuration from the source code zip download from jaspersoft.com).
