How to build the Modeler [DONE: Modeler assemblies and maven modules renaming]

[Andrus Adamchik <an...@objectstyle.org>]

Platform Modeler assemblies are finished. Now you can build a  
platform-specific Modeler with Maven from the trunk code:

# cd cayenne
# svn up

# mvn clean install
# cd assembly/modeler/cayenne-modeler-mac/ (for other platforms cd to  
cayenne-modeler-win/ or cayenne-modeler-java)
# mvn package

The modeler (CayenneModeler.app, CayenneModeler.exe or  
CayenneModeler.jar) will be placed in the "target" dir.

I guess we can create similar small assembly modules to build cayenne  
1.4 + 1.5 and cayenne-client jars.

Windows note:
-------------

"mvn clean install" failed because of spaces in the M2 home directory  
when running JPA integration tests. There should be an easy fix...  
just need to work on it.

Actually, I hadn't tried building on anything but Windows.  I just 
assumed the test failures were intentional.  So, I've been running with 
-Dmaven.test.skip=true to get around.  Obviously skipping tests is not 
ideal, so I'll give your workaround a try.

I guess nobody tried to build an entire tree on Windows yet... I just  
described a workaround for the Maven bug that prevents JPA itests  
from building properly:
