Environment

• Apache Maven 3.1.1
• Eclipse Kepler SR1
• Oracle JDK7u51
• OS X 10.9.1

Why need to do it?

• Many kind of dependency resolving work can take on Maven.
• It is a better way than that take it on Eclipse or IDEs.
  • It is stable and it has some efficient mechanism like local repository.
  • We can just put in Jenkins job or shell scripts.
  • It makes automation of some annoying works (e.g. build, deploy, etc) much easier.
• Thus, in this post, I'm going to try to resolve a dependency through local repository of Maven.

Create a project

• I'm going to install this project to local repository.
• After install, I will try to resolve a dependency to it from another project.

Create a project

• Create a maven project named “hogeproject” in Eclipse.
  • Check “Create a simple project (skip archetype selection)”

Edit pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>org.nailedtothex</groupId>
    <artifactId>hogeproject</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <properties>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    </properties>
</project>

Make a class

package hogeproject;

public class Hello {

    public String hello() {
        return "hello from hogeproject";
    }
}

Install the project to Maven repository

• We can see that the WAR contains “hogeproject-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar”.

References

1. Maven - Running Maven

Environment

• Jenkins 1.551
• git version 1.8.3.4 (Apple Git-47)
• OS X 10.9.1

Why need it?

• As I wrote in How to make git commit to trigger run a Jenkins job, Git plugin of Eclipse doesn't fire hooks.
  • Unfortunately, currently EGit not supported it, and maybe will not[1].
• So we need an alternative way, such as make Jenkins to poll SCM periodically.
  • It seems to I can configure it easily so I just try it here.

How to configure

1. Go to configure page of a project.
2. Go to “Build Triggers” section.
3. Check “Poll SCM”
4. Enter the schedule that you want in cron-style.
   • The help that placed side of input area might be useful
   • Example for poll at every 15minutes is here:
5. Save

See the log

• When any change is detected at polling, we can see that message in log of Jenkins.
  • In this setup, the log file is located at /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log

Feb 23, 2014 11:24:45 AM hudson.triggers.SCMTrigger$Runner run
情報: SCM changes detected in BuildAndTestHead. Triggering  #22
Feb 23, 2014 11:24:57 AM hudson.model.Run execute
情報: BuildAndTestHead #22 main build action completed: SUCCESS

Remarks

• I'm not sure that CPU usage or any other resource consumption of git polling.
