Sandbox build issues
Hi all,
I was trying to build the sandbox today and noticed several
issues (see also Marshall's earlier note).
1. The sandbox build is not documented, or at least I
couldn't find anything. There's a short bit under
"creating a distribution", but there's nothing about
just building in eclipse, for example.
2. The sandbox build requires the docbook-tools project
from the core to be in the same directory. That's not
nice, because you can't extract the core and the
sandbox into the same directory from svn, svn balks.
3. Some of the sandbox documentation is built during
"mvn install", some isn't. Do we have a prefered way?
I would add some documentation on the sandbox build
to our "source code" web page, and try to address 2.
above with an environment variable or something
appropriate in maven. Thoughts?

OK, I'll lend a hand... I think I'll have time to work on this later
today and over the weekend...

I have uimaj checked out to c:\build\uima
Then I do:
C:\build>svn co https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/sandbox/trunk
uima
svn: 'uima' is already a working copy for a different URL
Which makes sense. UIMA-AS has the same issue, except it's
embedded in the sandbox.

I don't care at this point, I'd like to make some
progress with the release.
Doesn't everybody think that a command line build
that works out of our svn structure is not optional?
We go to all this trouble on the eclipse headless
build, but we don't care if we have to manually
copy around whole directory structures before we
can build the sandbox and AS? I expect to be able
to delete my local maven repo and do something like this:
svn co https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/uimaj/trunk uima-core
cd uima-core/uimaj
mvn install
cd ../uimaj-distr
mvn assembly:assembly
cd ../..
svn co https://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/sandbox/trunk uima-sandbox
cd uima-sandbox/SandboxDistr
mvn install assembly:assembly
cd ..
cd uima-as/uimaj-as
mvn install
cd ../uima-as-distr
mvn assembly:assembly
If uima-as could be built with the rest of the sandbox,
that would be even better, but I'm not asking for miracles.
Please lend a hand here. I'll gladly document this when
it's done, but I have no plans to dive into the maven
mysteries that surround this issue. Thanks.

I seem to recall (but may be in error :-) ) that the preferred way is to
build during mvn assembly. As I recall, this was because the docbook
builds took some time, and we didn't want to do them over and over with
each mvn install.

Yes, that's what I usually do, too. But when I'm working
on a release, like now, I regularly do clean extracts
from svn, on the command line, and command line builds.
It would also be nice if we had instructions for other
people who don't use eclipse on how to build the sandbox.
So yes, for day-to-day development I agree, but the command
line way should work as well.

When I am working on a sandbox project I just add
it to my uima workspace and then it can see dockbook
tools project.
