Composum Meta

This contains parent-POMs and other metainformation about Composum projects.

IST parent poms

The directory ist/parent contains the parent pom for the various projects of IST GmbH Dresden, many of which are part of or related to the Composum platform.

Maven artefacts for Pages etc.

There is a couple of maven archetypes that can speed up the process of setting up a new project. Specifically:

• composum-pages-project-archetype to create a new project using Composum Pages, Platform and Nodes,
• composum-bundle-archetype to create an OSGI bundle,
• composum-platform-subproject-archetype for subprojects of Composum Platform

To create a project using the archetype you can do for instance:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.composum.meta.ist.archetype -DarchetypeArtifactId=composum-platform-subproject-archetype

Archetype maintenance

For updating the archetypes present in the local repository: mvn archetype:crawl ; possibly use mvn archetype:update-local-catalog .

When debugging the generation process use the additional parameter -DarchetypeCatalog=local to only use the archetypes in the local maven repository.

Caution: the input of required properties seems to be done in alphabetical order, so if defaults reference other properties these should be named accordingly.

Sling Starter Dependencies

In sling/starter there are a couple of poms that declare the dependency versions of all modules contained in the Sling Starter (previously called Sling Launchpad) of various versions, such that they can be easily included in the dependencyManagement section of a Maven pom with scope include. Thus, it is easy to compile a project wrt. the various versions of the Sling Starter.

To use it, include the following into your pom:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.composum.meta.sling.dependencies</groupId>
            <artifactId>sling-starter-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>11</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
        ...
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Caution: these were created via script from the JARs contained in the sling/ directory, and might thus have omissions and can contain JARs not actually deployed as a bundle. They are currently not cross-checked with the console bundle listing .
