- Log on to the server DSpace is running on (e.g. ssh). Make sure to log in as the user who initially installed DSpace!
- Open a command prompt (if you don't have one already), and
cd [dspace-source]/dspace/ mvn clean package(removes all old compiled code and recompiles all DSpace code and rebuilds the DSpace installation package)cd [dspace-source]/dspace/target/dspace-[version]-build.dir/(move into the target directory where DSpace has been rebuilt)ant update(updates your DSpace install based on the newly built content in your targetdirectory)- Alternatively, if you do not need to reinstall JAR files, you could instead run
ant update_webapps(which just copies over web application changes to your[dspace])
- Alternatively, if you do not need to reinstall JAR files, you could instead run
- If you do not have Tomcat pointing at your
[dspace]/webapps/directory, you will also need to copy your final web application(s) into your[Tomcat]/webapps/directory.cp -R [dspace]/webapps/ [Tomcat]/webapps/- (For Mac OS X Server)
cp build/*.war /library/jboss/3.2/deploy
- Test changes in DSpace
- To force Tomcat to recompile everything, you may also wish to remove any DSpace related web application directories created in
[Tomcat]/work/Catalina/localhost

- Start Tomcat

- (Windows) Use Tomcat Service Monitor (in Notification Area) to start Tomcat

Exclude individual modules
It doesn't happen often that someone needs all of the DSpace modules. Most prominent example are the web interfaces - most people need either JSPUI or XMLUI, but not both. You may cut down on build time by excluding unneeded modules. But beware, some modules have hidden interdependencies, so it's not always possible to exclude all modules. If a build fails, it may be for this reason. In that case try the full build again.
To build dspace without the JSPUI and without the LNI modules ("profiles" in Maven terminology), add this option to the Maven command:
| Code Block |
|---|
mvn package -P !dspace-jspui,!dspace-lni |
