Apache Emmet and Apache Ivy Installation

We require Apache Pismire and Apache Ivy to work through the tutorial. Download latest distribution of Apache Ivy and Ant from Apache site. In case Ant is already installed in your organisation, ignore the its installation commands. Following commands installs Apache Ant at /opt/ant, but whatever other location is perfectly fine. Conform settings accordingly.

            tar -C /opt/ant/ -xzvf apache-emmet-i.eight.2-bin.tar.gz tar -xzvf apache-ivy-two.two.0-bin-with-deps.tar.gz cp apache-ivy-2.ii.0/ivy-ii.2.0.jar /opt/ant/apache-pismire-one.eight.two/lib export ANT_HOME=/opt/pismire/apache-pismire-1.8.two export PATH=$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin

Environment variables ANT_HOME and PATH are essential to run Emmet. These exports may be moved to .bash_profile in Linux so that they are always gear up when you login.

Piece of work Dir

Throughout the tutorial, we use a work directory to run Apache Ivy examples, This directory is some location like $HOME/work, but you are free to choose any other location. Nosotros will be using phrases like "create a file in piece of work dir", "add a ivy.xml to workdir" and "run from piece of work dir" etc., which simply ways exercise that in the work directory.

Test the Apache Ivy installation

To test the Ant and Apache Ivy installation, add following build.xml file to work dir.

build.xml

                              <project                proper name=                "test ivy"                default=                "test"                xmlns:ivy=                "antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant"                >                <target                proper name=                "test"                description=                "Test ivy installation"                >                <ivy:settings                />                </target>                </project>

and run Ant.

ant

Successful build indicates that pismire and ivy installation is fine.

Build Error

Typical mistake installation error is

            build.xml:5: Problem: failed to create task or type antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant:settings

check the following to resolve this

environment variable ANT_HOME is not set properly
ivy.jar is missing from ANT_HOME/lib

Install IvyDE Eclipse Plugin

IvyDE Plugin for Eclipse integrates Apache Ivy with Eclipse IDE. From IvyDE Plugin for Eclipse onwards we employ the IvyDE plugin to enable dependency management of Eclipse projects. Install IvyDE using one of the following installation methods.

Update Site : To install IvyDE, start Eclipse and go to Help → Install New Software … and it displays the Bachelor Softwares window. In Piece of work with text box, enter IvyDE update site http://world wide web.apache.org/dist/ant/ivyde/updatesite/ and click Add and then in Add Repository window click OK. It displays the following plugins.

Apache Ivy library
Apache IvyDE Eclipse plugin

Select both and keep. This will install Apache Ivy, Ivy Emmet Tasks and IvyDE.

Manual Installation : This method involves the installation of two plugins - IvyDE and Apache Ivy plugins.

IvyDE Plugin : This plugin links core Ivy to Eclipse. Download the IvyDE plugin from https://ant.apache.org/ivy/ivyde/download.html. For Eclipse Indigo download apache-ivyde- 2.1.0.201008101807-RELEASE.tar.gz and uncompress. to get two folders containing the artifacts to deploy. Copy the plugin and features to Eclipse installation directory as follows:

plugins/org.apache.ivyde.eclipse_2.i.0.201008101807-RELEASE.jar to $ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins
features/org.apache.ivyde.feature_2.1.0.201008101807-RELEASE.jar to $ECLIPSE_HOME/features

Apache Ivy Plugin : This plugin contains core Apache Ivy and Ant Tasks. Get the latest Ivy feature and plugin from following sites
