Preparing your environment

You install the Build Command Maven plugin and its related Operational Decision Manager artifacts in your Maven repository.

Deploying the Build Command plugin

You deploy the plugin only once on each machine that contains build agents.

To deploy the Build Command Maven plugin to a remote Maven repository, you must first configure Maven in your environment.

Then, in <InstallDir>/buildcommand/rules-compiler, open a command prompt.

Use the following command:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -Dfile=rules-compiler.jar -DpomFile=rules-compiler-maven-plugin.pom

If you do not have a remote repository, you can test the plugin locally. You run the following command:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=rules-compiler.jar -DpomFile=rules-compiler-maven-plugin.pom

This command adds the following plugin in your local Maven repository: com/ibm/rules/buildcommand/rules-compiler

Deploying the annotations archive

If you want to build COBOL projects or projects that use XOM annotations, you must also deploy the annotations archive to your environment before you can build the projects.

In <InstallDir>/buildcommand/rules-compiler, open a command prompt.

Use the following command:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -Dfile=rules-compiler.jar -DpomFile=xom-annotations.pom

If you do not have a remote repository, you can test the plugin locally. You run the following command:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=rules-compiler.jar -DpomFile=xom-annotations.pom

This command adds the following plugin in your local Maven repository: com/ibm/rules/buildcommand/xom-annotation
