Developer information

Project status

Environment setup

I'm using:

• Maven 3.6.2
• IntelliJ Ultimate 2019.3 (thanks to JetBrains for the license) (it should also work with Eclipse)

To configure your local workspace:

• Import the Maven parent project to Eclipse or IntelliJ
• Import the Eclipse formatting file objenesis-formatting.xml (usable in Eclipse or IntelliJ)

To build with Maven

There are two different levels of build.

Build without any active profile

It is a basic compilation of the application.

mvn install

Full build

This build will create the source and javadoc jars and run spotbugs.

mvn install -Pfull

To run special builds

Run the Android TCK

• Install the Android SDK (brew cask install android-sdk)
• Install platform-tools and build-tools using the sdkmanager (sdkmanager "platform-tools" "build-tools")
• Add an ANDROID_HOME to target the Android SDK (export ANDROID_HOME=$(realpath $(echo "$(dirname $(readlink $(which sdkmanager)))/../..")))
• Configure a device (real or simulated) and launch it
• Activate the debug mode if it's a real device
• mvn package -Pandroid

Run the benchmarks

mvn package -Pbenchmark
cd benchmark
./launch.sh

Generate the website

mvn package -Pwebsite

To update the versions

• mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=X.Y -Pall
• mvn versions:commit -Pall if everything is ok, mvn versions:revert -Pall otherwise

Configure to deploy to the Sonatype maven repository

• You will first need to add something like this to your settings.xml

<servers>
  <server>
    <id>sonatype-nexus-snapshots</id>
    <username>sonatypeuser</username>
    <password>sonatypepassword</password>
  </server>
  <server>
    <id>sonatype-nexus-staging</id>
    <username>sonatypeuser</username>
    <password>sonatypepassword</password>
  </server>
</servers>

• Then follow the instructions from the site below to create your key to sign the deployed items

http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/01/how-to-generate-pgp-signatures-with-maven/

To check dependencies and plugins versions

mvn versions:display-dependency-updates versions:display-plugin-updates -Pall

To upgrade the Maven wrapper

mvn -N io.takari:maven:wrapper -Dmaven=3.6.2

To update the license

mvn validate license:format -Pall

To release

• Add the release notes in website/site/content/notes.html You use this code to generate it

# Get the milestone matching the version
version=???
milestone=$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/easymock/objenesis/milestones" | jq ".[] | select(.title==\"$version\") | .number")
echo "<h1>Version $version ($(date '+%Y-%m-%d'))</h1>"
echo
echo "<ul>"  
curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/easymock/objenesis/issues?milestone=${milestone}&state=all" | jq -r '.[] | "  <li>" + .title + " (#" + (.number|tostring) + ")</li>"'
echo "</ul>"

• Add these servers to your settings.xml

<server>
  <id>bintray</id>
  <username>your-user-name</username>
  <password>your-api-key</password>
</server>
<server>
  <id>gpg.passphrase</id>
  <passphrase>your-passphrase</passphrase>
</server>

• Set gpg_passphrase, bintray_api_key and bintray_user environment variables
• Launch an Android device (virtual or physical)
• Launch ./deploy.sh version
• Answer the questions (normally, just acknowledge the proposed default)
• Follow the instructions

If something fails and you need to rollback a bit, the following commands might help:

mvn release:rollback -Pall
git tag -d $version
git push origin :refs/tags/$version
git reset --hard HEAD~2

Deploy the website

• Make sure the pom is at the version you want to release
• Launch ./deploy-website.sh
