Building DbUnit

Overview

Building DbUnit is quite simple. You need the following software installed:

Once you have them all, you can build DbUnit by just typing mvnw! The items below describe every step.

Generating the JAR

  1. Install Java SE SDK and Maven.
  2. Obtain DbUnit code, either current or released source (see Quick Links on left menu)
  3. On the root directory, simply type mvnw in the command line. (If you need to clean up the binaries, run mvnw clean install instead.) The jar file will be generated in the target directory.

Creating the site

Run mvnw site in the command line; the site will be available on target/site/index.html. Note that you might get an OutOfMemoryExceptionError; if that happens, you must increase the heap size through the MAVEN_OPTS variable (for instance, on Unix systems, you could run MAVEN_OPTS=-mx512M mvnw site).

Updating the repository and site

Once new code is committed, it is necessary to update the Maven repository with new snapshots, and also update the site. These 2 tasks can be done with a simple command:

mvnw clean source:jar javadoc:jar deploy site site:deploy

Verify Reproducible Build

  1. Run the normal build, installing to local repo for comparing to:
    mvnw clean install
  2. Run the reproducible build comparison step:
    mvnw clean verify artifact:compare
  3. Review the compare output for issues to fix.
