Best Practices

This page serves to capture the recipes or best practices developers should follow to maintain high quality code/resources that power Supersonic. Hints or tips that might accelerate developers are encouraged!

Building packaged artifacts

Using Maven run mvn clean -P full; mvn install -P full from the top level of the project. (In case of dependency issues, try mvn install -P full -U.)

Based on your operating system, Maven will call the correct tools to package Supersonic for distribution into the OS's respective installer target directory.

If you would like to install a specific project only (such as the Debian package), call Maven with mvn -P full -pl <project> -am install.

Image optimization

To optimize the png images i used optipng find . -iname "*.png" exec optipng -o7 {} \;

this searches in the current directory and subdirectory for images with the ending .png and lets optipng optimize them with the highest setting (-o7 )

and basically the same for jpeg images

find . -iname "*.jpg" exec jpegoptim {} \;

and for gif images find -iname "*.gif" -exec gifsicle -O3 --batch {} \;
