You may need to configure the proxy settings. In case you are behind a firewall, edit the file /mvn_parent/settings.xml and replace the TODOs with the right proxy settings. If you have configured the settings.xml:

1. go into the directory mvn_parent/
2. run on the command line:
   • mvn -fae -s settings.xml clean install

Static Code Analysis for Maven Builds

If you add findbugs:findbugs at the end of the command line, you will find information from findbugs in the different /target directories:

• mvn clean install findbugs:findbugs

Note: This could be aggregated and displayed in late stage by Hudson.

Background

Some remarks on what the Maven build does:

• the folder /mvn_parent contains a pom.xml which is the "parent" of all subprojects. Every bundle which is build has its own pom.xml file
• Maven builds every bundle. Result are in the /target folder of the respective directory.
• features, which include the bundles of the supported database platforms are also built.
• an update site is generated: /gemini.dbaccess.updatesite . You find the p2 repository under /target/site/ a p2 containing the features and all plugins included.
