Instructions to create a distribution for Tuscany

[Raymond Feng <en...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

You can now create the Tuscany java distribution in one shot.

Assuming you check out the source code under tuscany/java, here are the 
simple steps:

> cd tuscany/java/distribution
> build-dist (or ./build-dist.sh for linux)

You'll find the folder structure created as the result of the build.

distribution/target/tuscany-dist
                 /apache-tomcat-5.5.17 (The pre-configured tomcat to run 
Tuscany web applications)
                 /javadoc (Javadoc for all the runtime projects)
                 /lib (common jars)
                        axis2 (axis2 binding-specific jars, common jars are 
excluded)
                        celtix (celtix binding-specific jars, common jars 
are excluded)
                        tools (tools-specific jars, common jars are 
excluded)
                 /sampleapps (sample applications)
                        /bigbank
                 /samples (technical samples)
                 tuscany.zip (the zip file contains all the above folders)

For commiters: (I haven't tried since I don't have the write-access to 
Apache).

You can upload the Tuscany jars into the remote maven repository as defined 
in the pom.xml (tucany/java) by running "mvn deploy".

<distributionManagement>
    <snapshotRepository>
      <id>maven-snapshot-repository</id>
      <name>Apache SNAPSHOT Repository</name>
      <url>scpexe://cvs.apache.org/www/cvs.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
</distributionManagement>

You need to configure your user/password in <user.home>/.m2/settings.xml. 
Here's a sample.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings>
    <servers>
     <server>
                <id>maven-snapshot-repository</id>
                <username>xxx</username>
                <password>xxx</password>
            </server>
    </servers>
</settings>

Thanks,
Raymond
