20Build
21=====
22A JOSM plugin is built as a single jar. We use ant to build.
23
24See build.xml in this directory and update the plugin specific properties in the
25configuration section.
26
27To get an command overview run
28 > ant help
29
30To build the plugin run
31 > ant dist
32
33To install the generated plugin locally (in you default plugin directory) run
34 > ant install
35
36The generated plugin jar is not automatically available in JOSMs plugin configuration
37dialog. You have to check it in first.
38
39Use the ant target 'publish' to check in the plugin and make it available to other
40JOSM users:
41 set the properties commit.message and plugin.main.version
42and run
43 > ant publish
44
45Maintaining versions
46====================
47There are two versions maintained with each plugin:
48 1) the main version
49 This is the lowest JOSM version required by this plugin.
50 You have to manually set the plugins main version in the build script.
51 Set the property plugin.main.version in build.xml accordingly.
52
53 2) the build version
54 The build version is unique for every build of the plugin. It is equal
55 to the SVN revision of your plugin directory.
56
57 Both the main version and the build version are included in properties of the plugins
58 manifest:
59 Plugin-Version the build version
60 Plugin-Mainversion the main version
61
62 JOSM automatically detects whether a plugin needs to be upgraded. It compares the build
63 version of the currently installed plugin jar with the build version of the plugin jar in
64 the SVN. The main version is irrelevant for this process.
65
66 Making your plugin available to JOSM users
67 ===========================================
68 When a plugin jar is checked into SVN a script updates the plugins list on the JOSM wiki:
69 https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Plugins
70 JOSM retrieves the list of available plugins and their build versions from this list.
71
72 commit publish read
73 meta data meta data
74 Build ==> SVN =======> JOSM Wiki <======= JOSM
75 ^
76 ==================================
77 fetch current plugin jar
78
79 Note that you have to manually publish (commit) your plugin jar. There is no nightly build
80 in place. Everything else (pulishing meta data, updating plugins in the client) is then handled
81 by automatic processes.
