Build

To build Elexis Base on your own do the following steps:

git clone https://github.com/elexis/elexis-3-base
cd elexis-3-base
mvn -V -Dtycho.localArtifacts=ignore -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean verify

Note

• -V: emits version of Java, Maven, GUI-Toolkit, Architecture. Handy when you ask a problem
• clean: Build everything from scratch
• verify: Compile, test and build a P2-site. But does NOT install maven artefacts
• -Dtycho.localArtifacts=ignore: Do not use any locally built maven artefacts
• -Dmaven.test.skip=true: Skip unit tests (Use it only if you want to speed up the build)
• Jenkins-CI job copIES the generated the *p2site\target\repository to a subdirectory reachable under http://download.elexis.info/elexis/<branch-name>/p2/elexis-3-base
• Add -Dmaven.test.skip=true if you want to skip running the unit tests.
• -Drepo_variant=release as starting with branch 3.3 we begin to use the P2 named like http://download.elexis.info/elexis/<branch-name>/ and use branch names likes 3.3, 3.4

After the build use Help..Add New Software add a new 'local' p2 site pointing at the generated ch.elexis.base.p2site\target\repository directory and install the desired plugins
