How to create eXist-db installers

by wolf at 19-5-2008 20:16; Wiki ID: IZPackAndLaunch4J

The procedure is not too complicated....

First download all relevant files.....

Then....

  • (Optionally) prepare for signing jar files (e.g. running the Interactive Client via webstart): ./build.sh -f build/scripts/jarsigner.xml

Edit build.properties (for windows: write locations like c:/my/location )

  • edit izpack.dir to match the location above.
  • edit launch4j.dir to match the location above.
  • modify xmldb.src if you could find the files on internet.
For an official eXist-db release we should rename e.g. 1.3.1dev into 1.3.1 !

Now you are ready to go. First build the code.... ./build.sh

Check the content of the file VERSION.txt; the current SVN revision of the sf.net server should be visible here.

Build the installer you need....

  • WAR: ./build.sh dist-war
  • JAR: ./build.sh installer
  • EXE: ./build.sh installer-exe (creates JAR as well)
