Hudson home page: https://hudson.dev.java.net
Download the latest from here: http://hudson.gotdns.com/latest/hudson.war
Start it with: java -jar hudson.war
It has its own built-in servlet container, so it runs as a webapp.
Point your browser to: http://localhost:8080
Hudson will create ~/.hudson. All the work files (svn checkout, build artifacts, etc) end up there. I didn't bother to change the default directory.
Configure Hudson:
- Click the "Manage Hudson" link. Add in your JDK installations and Ant installations. This lets you easily pick the right JDK and Ant version to build a specific plugin.
- Click the "Manage Plugins" link. Add the "batch-task" plugin.
To build a plugin: (Note, depending on the plugin, you'll need to do this step for each plugin that the plugin depends on.)
On the Hudson front page, click "New Job".
- Fill in the "Job Name". Hudson will make a directory with this name so don't put spaces in the name if you don't like them in your directory names.
- Click "Build a free-style software project". After the first one, you can do "Copy existing job" to save some time.
- Click OK, you'll be taken to the Configure page
- Pick the JDK to use to build the plugin
- Choose Subversion and fill in the the url to the release tag for the plugin
- Fill in the module name if you want.
- Check "Use update" if you want.
- Pick the version of Ant to use to build the plugin.
- You can probably leave the targets field blank, but that might depend on the specific plugin.
- Click the "Advanced" button and add these properties, adjusting for your local paths and the appropriate jEdit installation. I've got my various jEdit installations in ~/apps/jedit/$version/. You might also need to include your xdoclet properties:
build.support=/home/danson/src/plugins/build-support
jedit.install.dir=/home/danson/apps/jedit/4.3pre7
install.dir=/home/danson/apps/jedit/4.3pre7/jars
- Click the "Save" button, you'll be taken to the project home page.
- Click the "Build Now" link.
- Click the date link when the build starts.
- Click "Console output" to see the build output.
- Adjust and repeat as necessary to get the plugin to build.
To package a plugin: (The first 4 steps could be done with the configure steps above.)
- From the project home page, click the "Configure" link.
- Check the "Batch tasks" check box.
- Fill in the task name, I called it "package".
- Fill in the "Script" text area with this, adjusting the values for the plugin:
ant -f /home/danson/src/plugins/build-support/package.xml -Dplugin.name=CommonControls -Dplugin.version=1.0.2 -Djar.filename=CommonControls.jar -Djar.location=/home/danson/apps/jedit/4.3pre11/build/jars -Dsrc.dir=/home/danson/.hudson/jobs/CommonControls/workspace/CommonControls -Dout.dir=/home/danson/tmp/CommonControls
- Go back to the project front page
- Click "task", then "package" (or whatever you named the task) from the box on the right.
- Click the "Build Now" link to tar/zip the files.
I've attached the "package.xml" file referenced in the "Script" section above, I'll probably add it to the build-support project in jEdit subversion. This is what creates the .tgz and .zip files to upload to the file release system.
To release the plugin:
- upload the .tgz and .zip files:
cd to the directory containing the files to upload
> sftp username@frs.sourceforge.net
> cd uploads
> mput *
> bye
- log into https://sourceforge.net/projects/jedit-plugins/
- Click the "Download" tab, then "Browse All Packages", then "Manage Packages/Releases".
- Find your plugin, then click "[Add Release]"
- Enter the version number of the plugin for the release name
- Click the button to create the release
- Paste in the release notes from the plugin release request, click "Submit"
- Check the boxes by the 4 files you uploaded to frs.sourceforge.net, click the "Add files" button.
- Set the processor type and file type for each uploaded file. You have to do these one at a time.
- Send the email release notice if applicable.
- Check that the files with the right version number are available at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64089
- Log into http://plugins.jedit.org/wiz
- Click the "View packages" link.
- Find your plugin in the list and follow the link.
- Click "View releases"
- Click "Create new release"
- Fill in the form, version number, file sizes, and changes are required. Use the announcement line from the plugin release request or the text for the plugin from http://plugins.jedit.org/list.php. The "changes" text will end up on the http://plugins.jedit.org/list.php page.
- Enter the dependencies, then click the "Update dependencies" button.
- Click the "Create release" button. Ensure your new version is on the next page, you might have to refresh the page to see it.
- Go back to http://plugins.jedit.org/wiz
- Click the "Generate a new plugin list" link.
- Wait a while (next day, maybe) and check that the plugin shows up in Project Manager in jEdit.
- close the release request.
