Migrate RelEx to maven
vsbogd opened this issue · comments
See second part of the #100 (comment).
Maven can manage most of dependencies automatically so it will simplify build procedure.
It has a plugin to automate ready to run environment createion (see #266)
Anything else to do here?
It is needed to create maven artifacts to replace manually written scripts like opencog-server.sh and relation-extractor.sh. In fact all of *.sh scripts in the root project folder.
Actually I thought about it again and looks like the simplest way is to collect all of the dependencies in one folder using maven and then use them as classpath in existing scripts. Then scripts themselves will not be changed, only classpath will be.
I have raised #276 to collect dependencies. And I see the following further steps:
- fix classpath in
*.shscripts to use./target/lib/*.jarfiles collected by maven; I already committed it see vsbogd@57930c0 but this work cannot be merged without next steps. - edit
docker/Dockerfileto use maven to build relex within docker image - update
README.md - remove ant scripts
Is the work here finished? Can this be closed?
Yes, thanks
