[Geoserver-devel] Installing GeoServer 1.3.0-PR1 from source

Just a quick response.

This is how I do developement. Its the simpliest way and efficient.

0. Deploy a geoserver
    use the "Debug from IDE" ANT task.
    This will deploy a geoserver configuration (build.xml) and setup
jetty ready to run.

1. Doing Geotools work.
   a) Make your geotools src changes.
   b) maven jar:install (might want to turn off test cases so its fast)
   c) copy the jar (now in your maven repository) to GEOS/lib and
GEOS/server/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib
       (you'll have to rename it)
   d) shutdown geoserver and re-start it - you'll be using the new
geotools jars in the previously deployed configuration

NOTE: the ANT "geotools" task will move *all* the required geotools
jars from your maven repository to GEOS/lib. You'll have to re-deploy
geoserver to get them moved into GEOS/server/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib.

2. Doing Geoserver (.java) work
   a) make your Geoserver src changes
   b) run the ANT geoserver.jar_move task
     This will build geoserver.jar and move it into
GEOS/server/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib
   c) shutdown geoserver and re-start it - you'll be using the new
geoserver jar in the previously deployed configuration

3. Doing Geoserver (.jsp etc..) work
   a) make your changes
   b) re-deploy geoserver (run ANT 'debug from ide' task) [this is the
'big' hammer]

   This will kill your current geoserver configuration. You could write
another ANT task that would just copy the required files to the
deployed server.
