24Build
25=====
26A JOSM plugin is built as a single jar. We use ant to build.
27
28See build.xml in this directory and update the plugin specific properties in the
29configuration section.

31
32Maintaining versions
33====================
34There are two versions maintained with each plugin:
35 1) the main version
36 This is the lowest JOSM version required by this plugin.
37 You have to manually set the plugins main version in the build script.
38 Set the property plugin.main.version in build.xml accordingly.
39
40 2) the build version
41 The build version is unique for every build of the plugin. It is equal
42 to the SVN revision of your plugin directory.
43
44 Both the main version and the build version are included in properties of the plugins
45 manifest:
46 Plugin-Version the build version
47 Plugin-Mainversion the main version
48
49 JOSM automatically detects whether a plugin needs to be upgraded. It compares the build
50 version of the currently installed plugin jar with the build version of the plugin jar in
51 the SVN. The main version is irrelevant for this process.
52
53 Making your plugin available to JOSM users
54 ===========================================
55 When a plugin jar is checked into SVN a script updates the plugins list on the JOSM wiki:
56 http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Plugins
57 JOSM retrieves the list of available plugins and their build versions from this list.
58
59 commit publish read
60 meta data meta data
61 Build ==> SVN =======> JOSM Wiki <======= JOSM
62 ^
63 ==================================
64 fetch current plugin jar
65
66 Note that you have to manually publish (commit) your plugin jar. There is no nightly build
67 in place. Everything else (pulishing meta data, updating plugins in the client) is then handled
68 by automatic processes.
