Separation out Server & Client binary distributions in Airavata
Hi Devs,
Currently we have both XBaya & the Airavata services bundled together when
we create the final distribution. This can arise confusion to the users &
unnecessary overhead of retrieving/understanding/configuring for different
stakeholders. Shall we have different distributions as follows?
1. Airavata server binary distribution - everything related to hosting
an Airavata Server
2. XBaya binary distribution - everything needed for XBaya
to run independently
3. Airavata client binary distribution - all the libraries required
for a 3rd party client to use the Airavata API
(This would mean that we'll have 3 binary packs for an Airavata release)
Regards,
Saminda

Thanks Amila. I created a jira task[1] for you to provide the patch for
this.

I am working on changing distribution. I will work on this.

I am +1 for this and this is very clean and ideally nobody is going to use
airavata pack right away so providing these in separate would make life
easier for users to use three component separately.
Thanks Saminda for bringing this up.

Yes, thats my plan, initially I will add all three in to default build and
later will define a build profile for each distribution.

Great!!. Do you also plan to have maven profiles for these three? You can see the usage of checking out source and only building client or xbaya and so on?

Since Amila is busy with integration tests, I can work on having multiple
build distribtuions. My plan is to have three separate directories in
distribution and build these above three packs on them.
Those would be airavata-server, xbaya-gui, airavata-client .. inside
distribution folder.
Thanks

A big + 1, this was long overdue. Thanks Saminda and Amila for initiating and jumping onto this.
We may also want to consider creating the JNLP as part of the default build. For instance, we can have a associated JNLP bundled with the server. That way we can have users directly click on JNLP and launch XBaya which is pointed to the server.
Cheers,
Suresh
