2013-05-04Extend the FS class for Java7Robin Rosenberg1-1/+0
The most important difference is that in Java7 we have symbolic links and for most operations in the work tree we want to operate on the link itself rather than the link target, which the old File methods generally do. We also add support for the hidden attribute, which only makes sense on Windows and exists, just since there are claims that Files.exists is faster the File.exists. A new bundle is only activated when run with a Java7 execution environment. It is implemented as a fragment. Tycho currently has no way to conditionally include optional features based on the java version used to run the build, this means with this change the jgit packaging build always needs to be run using java 7.

2010-01-12Finish removing Apache Felix maven-bundle-pluginShawn O. Pearce1-4/+1
Since Robin reverted using the maven-bundle-plugin to produce the OSGi manifest, there is no reason for us to reference it from our build process anymore. Also, when Robin reverted the to the Eclipse way of doing things, we failed to update the ignore files to ignore our generated files but not ignore our tracked .classpath. Finally, we cannot delete the MANIFEST.MF file during a Maven build, as this is once again a source file. Change-Id: I53f77f2002cb4285f728968829560e835651e188 Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2009-12-28Switch build to Apache Felix maven-bundle-pluginShawn O. Pearce1-1/+4
Tycho isn't production ready for projects like JGit to be using as their primary build driver. Some problems we ran into with Tycho 0.6.0 that are preventing us from using it are: * Tycho can't run offline The P2 artifact resolver cannot perform its work offline. If the build system has no network connection, it cannot compile a project through Tycho. This is insane for a distributed version control system where developers are used to being offline during development and local testing. * Magic state in ~/.m2/repository/.meta/p2-metadata.properties Earlier iterations of this patch tried to use a hybrid build, where Tycho was only used for the Eclipse specific feature and P2 update site, and maven-bundle-plugin was used for the other code. This build seemed to work, but only due to magic Tycho specific state held in my local home directory. This means builds are not consistently repeatable across systems, and lead me to believe I had a valid build, when in fact I did not. * Manifest-first build produces incomplete POMs The POM created by the manifest-first build format does not contain the dependency chain, leading a downstream consumer to not import the runtime dependencies necessary to execute the bundle it has imported. In JGit's case, this means JSch isn't included in our dependency chain. * Manifest-first build produces POMs unreadable by Maven 2.x JGit has existing application consumers who are relying on Maven 2.x builds. Forcing them to step up to an alpha release of Maven 3 is simply unacceptable. * OSGi bundle export data management is tedious Editing each of our pom.xml files to mark a new release is difficult enough as it is. Editing every MANIFEST.MF file to list our exported packages and their current version number is something a machine should do, not a human. Yet the Tycho OSGi way unfortunately demands that a human do this work. * OSGi bundle import data management is tedious There isn't a way in the MANIFEST.MF file format to reuse the same version tags across all of our imports, but we want to have a consistent view of our dependencies when we compile JGit. After wasting more than 2 full days trying to get Tycho to work, I've decided its a lost cause right now. We need to be chasing down bugs and critical features, not trying to bridge the gap between the stable Maven repository format and the undocumented P2 format used only by Eclipse. So, switch the build to use Apache Felix's maven-bundle-plugin. This is the same plugin Jetty uses to produce their OSGi bundle manifests, and is the same plugin used by the Apache Felix project, which is an open-source OSGi runtime. It has a reasonable number of folks using it for production builds, and is running on top of the stable Maven 2.x code base. With this switch we get automatically generated MANIFEST.MF files based on reasonably sane default rules, which reduces the amount of things we have to maintain by hand. When necessary, we can add a few lines of XML to our POMs to tweak the output. Our build artifacts are still fully compatible with Maven 2.x, so any downstream consumers are still able to use our build products, without stepping up to Maven 3.x. Our artifacts are also valid as OSGi bundles, provided they are organized on disk into a repository that the runtime can read. With maven-bundle-plugin the build runs offline, as much as Maven 2.x is able to run offline anyway, so we're able to return to a distributed development environment again. By generating MANIFEST.MF at the top level of each project (and therefore outside of the target directory), we're still compatible with Eclipse's PDE tooling. Our projects can be imported as standard Maven projects using the m2eclipse plugin, but the PDE will think they are vaild plugins and make them available for plugin builds, or while debugging another workbench. This change also completely removes Tycho from the build. Unfortunately, Tycho 0.6.0's pom-first dependency resolver is broken when resolving a pom-first plugin bundle through a manifest-first feature package, so bundle org.eclipse.jgit can't be resolved, even though it might actually exist in the local Maven repository. Rather than fight with Tycho any further, I'm just declaring it plugina-non-grata and ripping it out of the build. Since there are very few tools to build a P2 format repository, and no documentation on how to create one without running the Eclipse UI manually by poking buttons, I'm declaring that we are not going to produce a P2 update site from our automated builds.

2009-11-03Refactor our Maven build to be modularShawn O. Pearce1-3/+3
Drop our simple and stupid jgit.sh and instead rely upon Maven for the command line based build. Maven is relatively simple to download and install, and doesn't require the entire Eclipse IDE. To avoid too much refactoring of the current code we reuse the existing src/ directory within each plugin, and treat each of the existing OSGI bundles as one Maven artifact. The command line wrapper jgit.sh no longer works in the uncompiled state, as we don't know where to obtain our JSch or args4j from. Developers will now need to compile it with `mvn package`, or run our Main class from within an IDE which has the proper classpath.
