Simplify the installation process

[spyhunter99]

instead of relying on an ide, adding some maven configuration bits so that the installation process and can scripted without a full dev environment

I think I can easily implement a jetty:run maven target to ease application testing. I just need some time and motivation to work on it.

I'll post messages here if there are enhancements on this point.

I may open a PR for it to have a simple command line util to initialize the database

Update about the installation process, without any other requirements than a running maven:

Build all the codebase (with JDK 7)
mvn -Pdevelopment -DskipTests clean install

Once maven_artifact_notifier database is created, owned by maven_artifact_notifier, with password maven_artifact_notifier: run this command in maven-artifact-notifier-init folder:
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="fr.openwide.maven.artifact.notifier.init.MavenArtifactNotifierInitFromExcelMain

I continue to work on a jetty:run step. I'll report all this in the documentation once tested, and I would be happy to receive your feedback.

JDK8 build is a later target as it needs to work on owsi-core build also (NB: only build requires JDK7; code can be run with JDK8)

Updated process:

Build all the codebase (with JDK7)

mvn -Pdevelopment -DskipTests clean install

Once maven_artifact_notifier database is created, owned by maven_artifact_notifier postgresql user, with password maven_artifact_notifier: run this command in maven-artifact-notifier-init folder:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="fr.openwide.maven.artifact.notifier.init.MavenArtifactNotifierInitFromExcelMain

(this step requires feature-50-dev-tooling branch)
Finally, switch to maven-artifact-notifier-webapp folder and run:

mvn jetty-run

Application is available at http://localhost:8080; default login/password is [email protected]/admin.

@spyhunter99 can you provide me some feedback about this process ?

NB: feature-50-dev-tooling branch includes postgresql 9.6 fix.

[spyhunter99]

first of all, thanks for the super quick turn around. mvn jetty-run didn't work for me but mvn jetty:run-war did. great success. i'm up and running for the time being. If I have additional questions, do you prefer new tickets or just post more things to the wiki?

[lalmeras]

Error on my side. I'm happy you find the correct command. The command is (and jetty:run-war is surely quite similar):

mvn jetty:run

For additional questions, I think ticket is the best way to share and agree on the good solution.

On this subject (project initialization), I'll welcome a PR on README.md or a new wiki page. Once the new content created and added, we'll see how to organize all the existing documentation on initialization.

does this work?
