[Geoserver-devel] How to build minimal GeoServer ?

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to build a minimal GeoServer (war
archive with Maven (I am a beginner with Maven)) from GeoServer source ?

A minimal GeoServer will be a GeoServer without the admin user interface in
jsp (we don't need it).

I trie "mvn -DconfigId=minimal clean install" to have a small data folder.

Thanks for your help

Hi Robin,

Building a geoserver without the admin interface is kind of tough. The reason being that the web application and all the dependencies on the other components are built into a single "web" module.

With 2.0 however, it is more likely possible because we have separated out the web application into a separate module. However I have never tried it so not sure.

You could build a geoserver war, deploy it, and then remove the web application module to see if it runs.
