Re: compile sandbox to use AlchemyAPIAnnotator

[Matteo Moci <mo...@gmail.com>]

Hello Marshall,
Tommaso helped me and the solution he found has the following steps,
that I leave here as documentation for others.
(anyway, I don't know if I solved the exact previous issue, but I just
made it to build the AlchemyApiAnnotator).

0. svn directory structure checkout
mkdir uima
cd uima
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/build/trunk/ uima-build/
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/uimaj/trunk/ uimaj/
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/sandbox/trunk sandbox/

I had to modify a bit the source code:
edit the file uima/uima-build/parent-pom/pom.xml
find the section
<groupId>org.apache.uima</groupId>
<artifactId>parent-pom</artifactId>
<version>2-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
then, change the version from 2-SNAPSHOT to 1-SNAPSHOT

In the same file, scroll down to the section
<!-- build the PEAR -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.uima</groupId>
<artifactId>PearPackagingMavenPlugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0-incubating</version>
and change the version to 2.3.1-SNAPSHOT

1. build the uima-build with an empty maven local repository
cd uima-build/parent-pom
mvn clean install -Dmaven.repo.local=/tmp/uima1

2. build the uimaj-tests
cd uimaj/uimaj-test-util
mvn clean install -Dmaven.repo.local=/tmp/uima1

3. since uimaj-core depends from something that uimaj builds (i don't
know what exactly):
build uimaj and then uimaj-core
cd uimaj/uimaj
mvn clean install -Dmaven.repo.local=/tmp/uima1
cd uimaj/uimaj-core
mvn clean install -Dmaven.repo.local=/tmp/uima1

4. build the PearPackagingMavenPlugin
cd uimaj/PearPackagingMavenPlugin
mvn clean install -Dmaven.repo.local=/tmp/uima1

5. compile alchemy-annotator
first, i had to change the path to the parent-pom: maybe it will be
useless tomorrow because of the major changes the developers are
doing, but today for me it just worked:
edit the pom.xml and find the section
<parent>
<groupId>org.apache.uima</groupId>
<artifactId>parent-pom</artifactId>
<version>1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<relativePath/>
</parent>

change the relativePath to
<relativePath>../../uima-build/parent-pom</relativePath>
since the sandbox is in a different directory than the parent-pom.
Probably having uima-build subdirs and the sandbox components in the
same folder could avoid it.
I was a bit reluctant before doing that, since even the other poms of
the sandbox components are all like that, but in the end i had luck
with it! :)
Maybe it is an issue you developers are going to fix?

last, compile the alchemyapi:
cd sandbox/AlchemyAPIAnnotator
mvn clean install -Dmaven.repo.local=/tmp/uima1

now take a deep breath...
Hopefully it will help someone.

I received all the insights from Tommaso, that i thank once again for
being so kind.
I just tweaked things here and there and I added the fifth point.

Bye,
Matteo
