Requirement

Apache Maven installed.

How to build the project and run the test

To run the complete build including tests as well as bundle creation and so on run the command

mvn clean install

Note: if your build fails make sure to check out the error message. It might be because you are violating the code style enforced by the checkstyle plugin. If that is the case check out the checkstyle-result.xml file in the target folder of the failing module.

Coding Style

The Maven build enforces a code style with the Maven Checkstyle Plugin to make the code more readable and consistent as well as to avoid problems with merges we had in the past when it comes to tabs vs. spaces.

The checkstyle rules are all defined https://github.com/mosabua/ksoap2-android/blob/master/build-tools/src/main/resources/simpligility/checkstyle.xml

How to do a release build

To do a release build with a branch created in http://github.com/mosabua/ksoap2-android use

mvn release:prepare

To build the artifacts of the release and deploy them to the google code svn repo use

mvn release:perform

Note however that you can only cut a release if you have access rights to the github repository and the svn repo (= you are the project owner..).

Fingerprint problem during release perform

If you run into an error message like this

INFO Error validating server certificate for 'https://ksoap2-android.googlecode.com:443': INFO - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the INFO fingerprint to validate the certificate manually! INFO - The certificate hostname does not match. INFO Certificate information: INFO - Subject: CN=.googlecode.com, O=Google Inc, L=Mountain View, ST=California, C=US INFO - Valid: from Wed Jan 05 14:46:46 PST 2011 until Thu Jan 05 14:56:46 PST 2012 INFO - Issuer: CN=Google Internet Authority, O=Google Inc, C=US INFO - Fingerprint: b1:af:83:76:f3:81:b0:57:70:d8:07:42:c8:c1:b3:67:38:c8:7a:bc

abort the release perform and run

mvn deploy

manually. This will allow you to manually accept the certificate. Afterwards you can resume the release build with

mvn release:perform -Dresume=true
