WSO2 invites you to contribute by checking out the source from the Subversion (SVN) source control system using the following commands, building the product and making changes, and then committing your changes back to the source repository. For information on using Subversion, see http://svnbook.red-bean.com.
Checking out the source
You can download the complete WSO2 Carbon platform, which is recommended if you intend to modify the source. You can check out the complete source anonymously from SVN with the following commands (replace x.x.x with the version of Carbon you want to build). The Carbon project comes in three sub projects: Orbit, Kernel, and Platform. Download and build them in that particular order.
Orbit:
$ svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/orbit/tags/x.x.x OrbitKernel:
$ svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/kernel/tags/x.x.x KernelPlatform:
$ svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/platform/tags/x.x.x Platform Access through a firewall
If you are behind a corporate firewall that is blocking HTTP access to the Subversion repository, you can try the developer connection:
$ svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/trunk/carbon carbonAccess through a proxy
The Subversion client can be configured to access through a proxy. Specify the proxy to use in the "servers" configuration file in:
- "~/.subversion" directory for Linux/Unix
- "%APPDATA%\Subversion" hidden directory for Windows. (Try "echo %APPDATA%")
The comments in the file explain what to do. If you don't have this file, get the latest Subversion client and run any command. It will create the configuration directory and template files.
For example, edit the 'servers' file and add something similar to the following:
| Code Block |
|---|
[global]
http-proxy-host = your.proxy.name
http-proxy-port = 3128 |
Building the product
Following are the commands you can run to create complete release artifacts, including the binary and source distributions.
Before you build,
- Install Maven and JDK. See Installation Prerequisites for compatible versions.
- Set the environment variable
MAVEN_OPTS=”-Xms768m -Xmx3072m -XX:MaxPermSize=1200m” to avoid the mavenOutOfMemoryError. - Make sure the build server has an active Internet connection to download dependencies while building.
