For example,
The following distribution packages are typically available for download:
- Binary Distribution - Includes binary files for both MS Windows and Linux operating systems, compressed into a single ZIP file. Recommended for many users.
- Source (SVN) - Includes the source code which can be used to build the binary files. Recommended for more advanced users. For instructions on downloading the entire WSO2 Carbon project, refer to Build From Source.
4. Click on any option to download the relevant distribution package.
Build From Source
WSO2 invites you to contribute by checking out the source from SVN using the following commands. This project uses Subversion to manage its source code. Instructions on Subversion can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com.
The WSO2 BAM release 2.2.0 is based on Carbon 4.0.7.
Anonymous/Developer Checkout
A user can download the complete WSO2 Carbon platform, which is recommended if he/she intends to modify the source. The complete source can be checked out anonymously from SVN with the following commands. The Carbon project comes in three sub projects as Orbit, Kernel and Platform. They should be downloaded and built in that particular order.
Orbit:
$ svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/orbit/branches/4.0.0 wso2carbon
Carbon kernel:
$ svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/kernel/branches/4.0.0 wso2carbon
Carbon Platform:
$ svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/platform/branches/4.0.0 wso2carbon
The list of commands that can be run are as follows. If you only want to build the BAM, you have to always use the option "-Dproduct=bam".
mvn clean install -Dproduct=bam | To create the complete release artifacts of WSO2 BAM including the binary and source distributions. |
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dproduct=bam | To create the complete release artifacts of WSO2 BAM including the binary and source distributions, without running any of the unit tests. |
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dproduct=bam -o | To create the complete release artifacts of WSO2 BAM including the binary and source distributions, without running any of the unit tests, in offline mode. This can be done only if you've already built the source at least once. |
The Carbon core project is the root project of the OSGi platform on which the Java product stack is built. The Carbon components contain all the components not just the BAM-specific ones. Therefore, you need to build just the set of components required by BAM, using the following command:
$ mvn clean install -Dproduct=bam
Execute the following command to commit your changes (SVN will prompt you for password).
$ svn commit --username your-username -m "A message"
Access through a Firewall
If you are behind a corporate firewall which is blocking http access to the Subversion repository, you can try the developer connection:
$ svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/trunk/carbon carbon
Access through a Proxy
The Subversion client can be configured to access through a proxy.
1) 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%")
2) There are comments in the file explaining 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.
Example : Edit the 'servers' file and add something similar to:
[global] http-proxy-host = your.proxy.name http-proxy-port = 3128
