README

   1 Argeo Build is a minimalistic Java build system based on GNU make, which is meant to be used as a git submodule of a software layer following Argeo's conventions. It is using Java files directly as scripts, without prior compilation.

   3 It is NOT meant as a generic Java build system.

   5 ## Components
   6 Argeo Build depends on the Eclipse ECJ Java compiler, and on the BND Tools library for OSGi metadata generation (and therefore on SLF4j).
   7
   8 - osgi.mk           is included in the root Makefile of the layer being built
   9 - configure         configures a build environment
  10 - Make.java         compiles Java code, creates OSGi bundles based on the bnd.bnd file in each project
  11 - Repackage.java    downloads and repackages as OSGi bundles Maven artifacts or Eclipse releases (cf. Argeo TP)

  13 ## Usage
  14 For example usage, look at one of the core Argeo layers (typically Argeo Commons) on http://git.argeo.org :
  15
  16 git clone http://git.argeo.org/lgpl/argeo-commons.git --recursive
  17 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-amd64/
  18 ./argeo-commons/configure
  19 cd argeo-commons
  20 make clean all
  21
  22 Argeo Build is installed as a git submodule under
  23 ./sdk/argeo-build/
  24
  25 In order to configure a new project, copy the file
  26 configure.template
  27 from this directory as
  28 configure
  29 at the root of the project, and make it executable:
  30 chmod +x configure
  31 git --chmod +x configure

  33 ## Licensing
  34 This code is in the public domain under the CC0 v1.0 license,
  35 so that it can be used in any licensing context by Argeo or anyone else.
