Pivot4J, how to build it

Hi,

Pivot4J is a awesome JSF project (I'm in love by JSF).

So I decide it to start it looking to it, 1st thing is to build it:

1. OS

My OS is Linux Ubuntu 12.04, others I will not look at it.

2. Building system

To build Pivot 4j we need maven 3.

How to install Maven3 in Linux Ubuntu 12.04:

• goto http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi and download apache-maven-3.2.3-bin.tar.gz

• sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/apache-maven

• sudo mv apache-maven-3.2.3-bin.tar.gz /usr/local/apache-maven

• cd /usr/local/apache-maven

• sudo tar -xzvf apache-maven-3.2.3-bin.tar.gz

Now that Maven is installed configure the mvn3 for default maven:

• put env variables on ~/.profile or set the vars:

export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.2.3
export M2=$M2_HOME/bin
export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m"
export PATH=$M2:$PATH

3. Java

 To build it i used java 8. To install it make:

• enter Java 8 PPA 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update

• install the Java

    sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

or    

 sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

 (will not work)
    sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer

• now set the default java 

 sudo update-alternatives --config java

• set the default javac

sudo update-alternatives --config javac

•  java will be but you have to set JAVA_HOME for maven build

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre

4. GIT

•  install git on ubuntu

sudo apt-get install git-core 

• mode info check http://www.vogella.com/articles/Git/article.html

4.1 Get Source 

Get source from GIT

• git clone https://github.com/mysticfall/pivot4j.git ~/workspace/SANDBOX/pivot4j

5. Build it

• mvn clean compile install
