Changes in commit 004dec3a42 where not needed
because of the new maven dependency with jasperreport-fonts already includes the
DejaVu fonts. So we don't need to have any font installed in the system to
generate properly the reports.
That means that we will have one less dependency in the future versions.

Compilation profiles
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
There are different compilation profiles in *LibrePlan*. Check ``<profiles>``
|
|
section in root ``pom.xml`` to see the different profiles (there are also some
|
|
profiles defined in ``pom.xml`` of business and webapp modules).
|
|
|
|
* *dev* - Development environment (default)
|
|
|
|
It uses databases ``libreplandev`` and ``libreplandevtest``.
|
|
|
|
* *prod* - Production environment
|
|
|
|
Unlike *dev* it uses database ``libreplanprod`` and `libreplanprodtest``.
|
|
|
|
It is needed to use it in combination with *postgresql* or *mysql* profiles.
|
|
|
|
This is usually used while testing the stable branch in the repository. This
|
|
allows developers to easily manage 2 different databases one for last
|
|
development in master branch and another for bugfixing over stable branch.
|
|
|
|
* *postgresql* - PostgreSQL database (default)
|
|
|
|
It uses PostgreSQL database server getting database names from *dev* or *prod*
|
|
profiles.
|
|
|
|
* *mysql* - MySQL database
|
|
|
|
It uses MySQL database server getting database names from *dev* or *prod*
|
|
profiles.
|
|
|
|
* *reports* - JasperReports (default)
|
|
|
|
If it is active *LibrePlan* reports are compiled.
|
|
|
|
It is useful to disable this profile to save compilation time during
|
|
development.
|
|
|
|
* *userguide* - User documentation (default)
|
|
|
|
If it is active *LibrePlan* help is compiled and HTML files are generated.
|
|
|
|
User documentation is written in *reStructuredText* and it is generated
|
|
automatically thanks to this profile.
|
|
|
|
Like for *reports*, it is useful deactivate this profile during development
|
|
to save compilation time.
|
|
|
|
* *liquibase-update* - Liquibase update (default)
|
|
|
|
If it is active Liquibase changes are applied in the database.
|
|
|
|
* *liquibase-updatesql* - Liquibase update SQL
|
|
|
|
If it is active it is generated a file with SQL sentences for Liquibase
|
|
changes needed to apply on database.
|
|
|
|
This is used to generate upgrade files in releases.
|
|
|
|
* *i18n* - Internationalization (default)
|
|
|
|
It uses gettext to process language files in order to be used in *LibrePlan*.
|
|
|
|
Like for *reports* and *userguide*, it is useful deactivate this profile
|
|
during development to save compilation time.
|
|
|
|
How to use profiles
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Profiles active by default are used always if not deactivated. In order to
|
|
activate or deactivate a profile you should use parameter ``-P`` for Maven
|
|
command. For example:
|
|
|
|
* Deactivate *reports*, *userguide* and *i18n* to save compilation time::
|
|
|
|
mvn -P-reports,-userguide,-i18n clean install
|
|
|
|
* Use production environment::
|
|
|
|
mvn -Pprod,postgresql clean install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compilation options
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
In LibrePlan there are two custom Maven properties, which allow you to configure
|
|
some small bits in the project.
|
|
|
|
* *default.passwordsControl* - Warning about default passwords (``true`` by
|
|
default)
|
|
|
|
If this option is enabled, a warning is show in LibrePlan footer to
|
|
application administrators in order to change the default password (which
|
|
matches with user login) for the users created by default: admin, user,
|
|
wsreader and wswriter.
|
|
|
|
* *default.exampleUsersDisabled* - Disable default users (``true`` by default)
|
|
|
|
If true, example default users such as user, wsreader and wswriter are
|
|
disabled. This is a good option for production environments.
|
|
|
|
This option is set to ``false`` if you are using the development profile (the
|
|
default one).
|
|
|
|
How to set compilation options
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Maven properties have a default value, but you can change it using the parameter
|
|
``-D`` for Maven command to set the value of each option you want to modify. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
* Set *default.passwordsControl* to ``false``::
|
|
|
|
mvn -Ddefault.passwordsControl=false clean install
|
|
|
|
* Set *default.passwordsControl* and *default.exampleUsersDisabled* to false::
|
|
|
|
mvn -Ddefault.passwordsControl=false -Ddefault.exampleUsersDisabled=false clean install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tests
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
*LibrePlan* has a lot of JUnit test that by default are passed when you compile
|
|
the project with Maven. You can use ``-DskipTests`` to avoid tests are passed
|
|
always. Anyway, you should check that tests are not broken before sending or
|
|
pushing a patch.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
mvn -DskipTests clean install
|
|
|
|
|
|
MySQL
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
For MySQL users here are specific instructions.
|
|
|
|
* SQL sentences to create database::
|
|
|
|
CREATE DATABASE libreplandev;
|
|
CREATE DATABASE libreplandevtest;
|
|
GRANT ALL ON libreplandev.* to 'libreplan'@'localhost' identified by 'libreplan';
|
|
GRANT ALL ON libreplandevtest.* to 'libreplan'@'localhost' identified by 'libreplan';
|
|
|
|
* Compile project::
|
|
|
|
$ mvn -Pdev,mysql clean install
|
|
|
|
* Launch application::
|
|
|
|
$ cd libreplan-webapp/
|
|
$ mvn -Pdev,mysql jetty:run
|
