Building

Automatic build against milton community (for WebDav level 1) or enterprise (for WebDav level 2)

The process of switching between milton community and milton enterprise is somewhat automated using maven.

For community edition, just build using mvn install

For enterprise (if you need WebDav level2 for Mac finder or Windows Explorer support)...

Go to http://milton.io/about/license/index.html and get a trial enterprise license, or purchase a license. Put the two files--milton.license.properties and milton.license.sig--into a location on the build machine

Copy the profile information for the Maven settings.xml file as shown in the example settings file which can be found here. It will look like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!-- Settings for building, choose a profile, either community setup or enterprise 
	setup. Enterprise setup will copy in the keys from the specified location 
	and utilize the milton enterprise server -->

<settings>

	<profiles>
		<profile>
			<id>irodsWebdavCe</id>
			<properties>
				<milton.level>milton-server-ce</milton.level>
			</properties>
		</profile>
		<profile>
			<id>irodsWebdavEnterprise</id>
			<properties>
				<milton.level>milton-server-ent</milton.level>
				<milton.source.path>/home/test/milton</milton.source.path>
				<milton.copy.license>true</milton.copy.license>
			</properties>
		</profile>

		</profile>
	</profiles>


	<activeProfiles>
		<activeProfile>irodsWebdavCe</activeProfile>
	</activeProfiles>

</settings>
 

And you can activate the irodsWebdavEnterprise profile, giving the location where you put the webdav artifacts.

Run the mvn install command and you will get a war file properly configured

Get an enterprise license or eval license
