[Geoserver-devel] Compiling the Hello Plugin

Thomas_Gfullner · June 5, 2007, 11:57am

Hi,

I have problems to compile the "Hello World" plugin. I tried to follow
the steps mentioned in
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/3+A+Simple+PlugIn
But I think that this tutorial is a little bit outdated.

I am using the binary release of Geoserver 1.5.1-RC1 and maven-2.0.6 on
Ubuntu Feisty. I was not able to compile the source release of Geoserver
1.5.1-RC1. I also could not build various svn checkouts due to geotools
incompatibilities.

Is it necessary to build Geoserver in order to develop a plugin or will
a binary release also be ok?

I want to develop a cool plugin so please help.

best regards

Besides the possible tutorial issues, in order to use a non final
release of Geoserver you'll have to compile geotools 2.3.x as well.
So, I suggest you checkout gt2 2.3.x too, and using maven, build
it.

I'm not sure you can do the plugin with the binary only version,
since the tutorial has been written with all the sources and the
build environment ready for both geoserver and geotools, but
if you manage, let us know. The same goes if you have suggestions
of improvements for the tutorials, we would accept them gladly.

I'd suggest you log on the GeoServer channel on freenode, we
hang out there and we can help you while you try follow the tutorial.

Cheers
Andrea

Hi.

(Andrea, thank You for Your quick answer.)

I checked out gt2 2.3.x with
"svn co http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/branches/2.3.x"
insalled jai1.1_1_3 but "mvn install" brought following error:

[INFO] Surefire report directory:
/home/tom/SVN/GeoServer/gt2-2.3.x/2.3.x/module/referencing/target/surefire-reports

Do I have to install the nightly build of jai ?
