Fast builds?
Hello,
Here is a basic compile-build-deploy question for you.
Given that I am making changes to Tomcat code for experimentation purposes, I would like to shorten the compile-build-deploy cycle as much as possible.
Currently, after a code change, I call the command:
$TOMCAT_HOME > build.sh dist
This compiles all changed files, build jar files and puts them under $TOMCAT_HOME/dist. This is fine except that the "dist" target depends on "dist-javadoc" which is rather slow. So I have removed this dependency and all is nice and dandy.
However, this is surely not the way committers are doing it. So, which command do you invoke to build and then test Tomcat?
My guess is that committers are working under $TOMCAT_HOME/build when building/testing and ignoring $TOMCAT_HOME/dist. Am I correct? TIA, Ceki

That's what I do. The default target (deploy-main) of the top-level
build.xml file creates a runnable Tomcat in $TOMCAT_HOME/build, and that's
how I do my testing. I only use the "dist" target when creating a binary
release.

Hi again,
Never mind. The answer is
$TOMCAT_HOME > build.sh [deploy-main]
and then working under build/. Thanks anyway. Ceki
