MetricsHub JRE Builder

This multi-module Maven project uses the Maven JLink Plugin to produce two separate JREs: one specifically designed for Windows and another for Linux. The Windows JRE will be integrated into the MetricsHub Windows distribution, while the Linux JRE is to be integrated into both MetricsHub RHEL and Debian distributions.

Structure

• /: the root (parent of all submodules)
• metricshub-jre-windows: Builds a Windows JRE specifically tailored for MetricsHub, which is then integrated into the MetricsHub Windows distribution.
• metricshub-jre-linux: Builds a Linux JRE specifically tailored for MetricsHub, which is then integrated into MetricsHub RHEL and Debian distributions.

How to build the Project

Requirements

• Have Maven 3.x properly installed and configured, with access to Sentry's repository.
• Set JAVA_HOME to the JDK path from which you want to derive your JRE.

Windows Build Rules

• Windows machine

Linux Build Rules

• Linux Machine

Build

To create the MetricsHub JREs, run the command below from ./metricshub-jre-builder:

$ mvn clean package

Depending on the host type you are running, the JRE will be generated as a zip artifact under metricshub-jre-windows\target or metricshub-jre-linux\target (E.g. metricshub-jre-windows-<version>.zip or metricshub-jre-linux-<version>.zip)

Install

To locally deploy MetricsHub JREs, run the command below from ./metricshub-jre-builder:

$ mvn clean install

Deploy

To deploy MetricsHub JREs to your remote or local repository, run the command below from ./metricshub-jre-builder:

$ mvn clean deploy

Usage

To integrate the MetricsHub Windows JRE into the MetricsHub Windows distribution, add the following dependency in the metricshub-windows module:

	<dependency>
		<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
		<artifactId>metricshub-jre-windows</artifactId>
		<version>${project.version}</version>
		<type>zip</type>
	</dependency>

To integrate the MetricsHub Linux JRE into the MetricsHub Linux distributions (Debian and RHEL), add the following dependency in the metricshub-debian and metricshub-rhel modules:

	<dependency>
		<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
		<artifactId>metricshub-jre-linux</artifactId>
		<version>${project.version}</version>
		<type>zip</type>
	</dependency>

Make sure to unzip the content of the artifact in a dedicated build directory and provide this directory content to JPackage as a runtime image:

jpackage --runtime-image jre_directory $other_jpackage_args
