Advanced Customisation

It is anticipated that the customisation features described in the JSPUI and XMLUI customisation sections will be sufficient to satisfy the needs of the majority of users, however, some users may want to customise DSpace further, or just have a greater understanding of how to do so.

Maven WAR Overlays

Much of the customisation described in the JSPUI and XMLUI customisation sections is based on Maven WAR Overlays. In short, any classes or files placed in [dspace-source]/dspace/modules/* will be overlayed onto the selected WAR. This includes both new and amended files.

Dspace Source Release

If you really want to get your hands dirty you may have downloaded the dspace-src-release and wish to make changes to dspace-api source code, in that case it should be noted that DSpace should be rebuilt by running 'mvn package' from the root [dspace-source] directory rather than from [dspace-source]/dspace. This will ensure that your modifications are included in the final WAR files.
