Maven
-----
Apache Maven is a general-purpose build system that does not rely
on Makefiles to build software. It is designed for building and
managing and Java-based project.
^^^^^^
Phases
^^^^^^
The ``MavenBuilder`` and ``MavenPackage`` base classes come with the following phases:
#. ``build`` - compile code and package into a JAR file
#. ``install`` - copy to installation prefix
By default, these phases run:
.. code-block:: console
$ mvn package
$ install . <prefix>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Important files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maven packages can be identified by the presence of a ``pom.xml`` file.
This file lists dependencies and other metadata about the project.
There may also be configuration files in the ``.mvn`` directory.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Build system dependencies
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Maven requires the ``mvn`` executable to build the project. It also
requires Java at both build- and run-time. Because of this, the base
class automatically adds the following dependencies:
.. code-block:: python
depends_on('java', type=('build', 'run'))
depends_on('maven', type='build')
In the ``pom.xml`` file, you may see sections like:
.. code-block:: xml
<requireJavaVersion>
<version>[1.7,)</version>
</requireJavaVersion>
<requireMavenVersion>
<version>[3.5.4,)</version>
</requireMavenVersion>
This specifies the versions of Java and Maven that are required to
build the package. See
https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/MAVEN/maven_version.htm#MAVEN402
for a description of this version range syntax. In this case, you
should add:
.. code-block:: python
depends_on('java@7:', type='build')
depends_on('maven@3.5.4:', type='build')
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Passing arguments to the build phase
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The default build and install phases should be sufficient to install
most packages. However, you may want to pass additional flags to
the build phase. For example:
.. code-block:: python
def build_args(self):
return [
'-Pdist,native',
'-Dtar',
'-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true'
]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
