-Build APEX from Source
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Introduction to building APEX
------------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- APEX is written 100% in Java and uses `Apache
- Maven <https://maven.apache.org/>`__ as the build system.
- The requirements for building APEX are:
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - An installed Java development kit for Java version 8
- or higher
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - To install a Java SDK please follow these
- guidelines `Oracle Java 8
- SDK <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/install_overview.html>`__.
-
- - Maven 3
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - To get Maven 3 running please follow the
- guidelines for
- `Download <https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi>`__
- and
- `Install <https://maven.apache.org/install.html>`__,
- and `Run <https://maven.apache.org/run.html>`__
- Maven
-
- - A clone of the APEX source repositories
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- To get a clone of the APEX source repositories, please
- see the APEX Installation Guide or the APEX User manual.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Once all requirements are in place, APEX can be build.
- There are several different artifacts one can create
- building APEX, most of them defined in their own
- *profile*. APEX can also be built in a standard way with
- standard tests (``mvn clean install``) or without
- standard tests (``mvn clean install -DskipTests``).
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- The examples in this document assume that the APEX source
- repositories are cloned to:
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Unix, Cygwin: ``/usr/local/src/apex``
-
- - Windows: ``C:\dev\apex``
-
- - Cygwin: ``/cygdrive/c/dev/apex``
-
- .. important::
- A Build requires ONAP Nexus
- APEX has a dependency to ONAP parent projects. You might need to adjust your Maven M2 settings. The most current
- settings can be found in the ONAP oparent repo: `Settings <https://git.onap.org/oparent/plain/settings.xml>`__.
-
- .. important::
-
- A Build needs Space
- Building APEX requires approximately 2-3 GB of hard disc space, 1 GB for the actual build with full
- distribution and 1-2 GB for the downloaded dependencies
-
- .. important::
- A Build requires Internet (for first build to download all dependencies and plugins)
- During the build, several (a lot) of Maven dependencies will be downloaded and stored in the configured local Maven
- repository. The first standard build (and any first specific build) requires Internet access to download those
- dependencies.
-
- .. important::
- Building RPM distributions
- RPM images are only built if the ``rpm`` package is installed (Unix). To install ``rpm``
- run ``sudo apt-get install rpm``, then build APEX.
-
-Standard Build
---------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Use Maven to for a standard build without any tests.

- +-----------------------------------+------------------------------------+
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- The build takes about 6 minutes on a standard development laptop. It
- should run through without errors, but with a lot of messages from
- the build process.
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- When Maven is finished with the build, the final screen should look
- similar to this (omitting some ``success`` lines):

-Checkstyle with Maven
----------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- The codestyle for all APEX java projects can be checked
- automatically. The checks include empty or non-existing Javadocs.
- Any checkstyle run should complete without any errors, some
- warnings are acceptable.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- To run checkstyle on an APEX Maven project use:
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- mvn checkstyle:check
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- To run checkstyle on all modules use:
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- mvn checkstyle:checkstyle -DapexAll
-
-Build with standard Tests
--------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Use Maven for a standard build with standard tests.
-
- .. important::
- Some tests have specific timing Requirements
- Some of the tests have very specific timing requirements. If run on a low-powered build machine, or if the build
- machine is on high load, those tests might fail and the whole build might fail as well. If this happens, reduce the load
- on your build machine and restart the build.

- +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
-
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- The build takes about 10 minutes with tests on a standard development
- laptop. It should run through without errors, but with a lot of
- messages from the build process. If built with tests (i.e. without
- ``-DskipTests``), there will be error messages and stack trace prints
- from some tests. This is normal, as long as the build finishes
- successfully.
-
-Build with all Tests
---------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Use Maven to for a standard build with *all* tests.
-
- .. important::
- Some tests have specific timing Requirements.
- Some of the tests have very specific timing requirements. If run on a low-powered build machine, or if the build
- machine is on high load, those tests might fail and the whole build might fail as well. If this happens, reduce the load
- on your build machine and restart the build.
-
- .. important::
- Might require specific software.
- When running all tests, some modules require specific software installed on the build machine. For instance,
- testing the full capabilities of context (with distribution and persistence) will require Hazelcast and Infinispan
- installed on the build machine.

-
-Build with all Components
--------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- A standard APEX build will not build all components. Some parts
- are for specific deployments, only. Use Maven for a standard
- build with *all* components.
-

-Build the APEX Documentation
-----------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- The APEX Maven build also includes stand-alone documentation,
- such as the HowTo documents, the Installation Guide, and the User
- Manual. Use Maven to build the APEX Documentation. The Maven
- option ``-N`` prevents Maven from going through all APEX modules,
- which is not necessary for the documentation. The final documents
- will be in ``target/generated-docs`` (Windows:
- ``target\generated-docs``). The *HTML* documents are in the
- ``html/`` folder, the *PDF* documents are in the ``pdf/`` folder.
- Once the documentation is built, copy the *HTML* and *PDF*
- documents to a folder of choice

-Build APEX Site
----------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- The APEX Maven build comes with full support to build a web site
- using Maven Site. Use Maven to build the APEX Site. Stage the APEX
- web site. The target folder for the staged site is
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Unix: ``/usr/local/src/apex/target/ad-site``
-
- - Windows: ``C:\dev\apex\target\ad-site``
-
- - Cygwin: ``/cygdrive/c/dev/apex/target/ad-site``
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Once the web site is staged, copy the full site to a folder of
- choice or into a web server.
-
- .. important::
- Building a Site takes Time.
- Building and staging the APEX web site can take very long. The stand-alone documentation will take about 2 minutes. The
- sites for all modules and projects and the main APEX site can take between 10-30 minutes depending on your build machine (~10 minutes
- without generating source and test-source reports, closer to 30 minutes with all reports).
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Start the build deleting the staging directory that might have
- been created by a previous site build. Then go to the APEX
- packaging directory.
-
- +--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+----------------------------------+
- | Unix | Windows | Cygwin |
- +================================+===================================+==================================+

- | rm -fr target/ad-site | cd \dev\apex | rm -fr target/ad-site |
- | | rmdir /s/q target\ad-site | |
- +--------------------------------+-----------------------------------+----------------------------------+
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- the workflow for building a complete site then is as follows:
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- mvn clean -DapexAll (1)
- mvn install -DskipTests (2)
- mvn generate-resources -N -DapexDocs (3)
- mvn initialize site:attach-descriptor site site:stage -DapexSite (4)
-
- .. container:: olist arabic
-
- #. First clean all modules to remove any site artifacts, use the
- *apexXtext* profile to make sure these modules are processed as
- well
-
- #. Next run a simple install without tests
-
- #. Now generate the APEX stand-alone documentation, they are in
- the local package only so we can use the *-N* switch
-
- #. Last build the actual sites and stage (copy to the staging
- directory) with the profile *apexSite* (do not forget the
- initialize goal, otherwise the staging directory will not be
- correctly set and sites are staged in every model in a
- directory called ``docs``).
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- If you want to build the site for a particular project for
- testing, the Maven command is simpler. Since only the main project
- has APEX documentation (stand-alone), you can use Maven as follow.
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- mvn clean site -DapexSite
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- If you want to stage the tested site, then use
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- mvn clean initialize site:attach-descriptor site site:stage -DapexSite
-
-APEX Codestyle
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Introduction: APEX Codestyle
-----------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- This page describes how to apply a code style to the APEX
- Java projects. The provided code templates are guidelines
- and are provided for references and as examples. We will not
- engage in "holy war" on style for coding. As long as the
- style of a particular block of code is understandable,
- consistent, and readable, please feel free to adapt or
- modify these guides or use other guides as you see fit.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- The JAutoDoc and Checkstyle Eclipse Plugins and tools are
- useful and remove a lot of the tedium from code
- documentation. Use them to check your code and please fix
- any issues they identify with your code.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Since APEX is part of ONAP, the general ONAP rules and
- guideliness for development do apply. Please see `ONAP
- Wiki <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Developing+ONAP>`__
- for details.
-
-Java coding Rules
------------------
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - APEX is (in large parts) a platform (or middleware), so
- `Software Design
- Patterns <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern>`__
- are a good thing
-
- - The `Solid
- Principles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID_(object-oriented_design)>`__
- apply
-
- - Avoid class fields scoped as ``protected``
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - They break a lot of good design rules, e.g. most
- SOLID rules
-
- - For a discussion see this `Stackoverflow
- Question <https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/162643/why-is-clean-code-suggesting-avoiding-protected-variables>`__
-
- - If you absolutely need ``protected`` class fields they
- should be ``final``
-
- - Avoid ``default`` scope for class fields and methods
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - For fields: use ``public`` or ``private`` (see also
- above)
-
- - For methods: use ``public`` for general use,
- ``protected`` for specialization using inheritance
- (ideally ``final``), ``private`` for everything
- else
-
- - Method parameters that are not changed in the method
- should be marked ``final``
-
- - Every package must have a ``package-info.java`` file with
- an appropriate description, minimum a descriptive one
- liner
-
- - Every class must have
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - The common header (copyright, file, date)
-
- - Javadoc header for the class with description of
- the class and author
-
- - Javadoc for *all public\_* fields
-
- - If possible, Javadoc for *private* fields, at least
- some documentation for private fields
-
- - Javadoc for *all* methods
-
- - All projects must build with all tests on Unix, Windows,
- *and* Cygwin
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Support all line endings in files, e.g. ``\n`` and
- ``\r\n``
-
- - Be aware of potential differences in exception
- messages, if testing against a message
-
- - Support all types of paths: Unix with ``/``,
- Windows with an optinal drive ``C:\`` and ``\``,
- Cygwin with mixed paths
-
-Eclipse Plugin: JAutodoc
-------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- This plugin is a helper plugin for writing Javadoc. It will
- automatically create standard headers on files, create
- package-info.java files and will put in remarkably good stub
- Javadoc comments in your code, using class names and method
- names as hints.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Available from the Eclipse Marketplace. In Eclipse
- Help→Eclipse Marketplace…​ and type ``JAutodoc``. Select
- JAutodoc when the search returns and install it.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- You must configure JAutoDoc in order to get the most out of
- it. Ideally JAutoDoc should be configured with templates
- that cooperate with the inbuilt Eclipse Code Formatter for
- best results.
-
-Eclipse Plugin: Checkstyle
---------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- This plugin integrates
- `Checkstyle <http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/>`__ into
- Eclipse. It will check your code and flag any checkstyle
- issues as warnings in the code.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Available from the Eclipse Marketplace. In Eclipse
- Help→Eclipse Marketplace…​ and type "Checkstyle". Select
- "Checkstyle Plug-in" when the search returns and install it.
- Note that "Checkstyle Plug-in" may not be the first result
- in the list of items returned.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- For APEX, the ONAP checkstyle rules do apply. The
- configuration is part of the ONAP parent. See `ONAP
- Git <https://git.onap.org/oparent/plain/checkstyle/src/main/resources/onap-checkstyle/>`__
- for details and updates. All settings for checkstyle are
- already part of the code (POM files).
-
-Configure Eclipse

- ``apex-model/apex-model.build-tools/src/main/resources/eclipse``
-
-Configure JAutodoc (Eclipse)
-----------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Import the settings for JAutodoc:
-
- .. container:: olist arabic
-
- #. Eclipse  Window  Preferences  Java  JAutodoc → Import
- All…​ (at bottom of the JAutodoc preferences window)
-
- #. Leave all the preferences ticked to import all
- preferences, browse to the JAutodoc setting file
- (``ApexJautodocSettings.xml``) and press OK
-
- #. Set your email address in the package Javadoc template
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Press Edit Template…​ in the Package Javadoc area

-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- The templates mentioned above can be found in
- ``apex-model/apex-model.build-tools/src/main/resources/eclipse``
-
-Configure Checkstyle (Maven)
-----------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- When using a custom style configuration with Checkstyle, the
- definition of that style must of course be available to
- Checkstyle. In order not to have to distribute style files
- for checkstyle into all Maven modules, it is recommended
- that a special Maven module be built that contains the
- checkstyle style definition. That module is then used as a
- dependency in the *POM* for all other modules that wish to
- use that checkstyle style. For a full explanation see `the
- explanation of Checkstyle multi-module
- configuration <https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html>`__.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- For APEX, the ONAP checkstyle rules do apply. The
- configuration is part of the ONAP parent. See `ONAP
- Git <https://git.onap.org/oparent/plain/checkstyle/src/main/resources/onap-checkstyle/>`__
- for details and updates.
-
-Run Checkstyle (Maven)
-----------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Run Checkstyle using Maven on the command line with the
- command:
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- mvn checkstyle:check
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- On the main APEX project, run a full checkstyle check as:
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- mvn checkstyle:checkstyle -DapexAll
-
-Configure Checkstyle (Eclipse, globally)
-----------------------------------------
-
- .. container:: olist arabic
-
- #. Set up a module with the Checkstyle style files (see
- above)
-
- #. In Eclipse  Window  Preferences go to Checkstyle
-
- #. Import the settings for Checkstyle
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Press New…​ to create a new *Global Check

- - Browse to the Checckstyle setting file
- (``ApexCheckstyleSettings.xml``) and press OK
-
- #. Press OK
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - You may now get an *Unresolved Properties found*
- dialogue
-
- - This is because there is a second Checkstyle
- configuration file required to check file headers
-
- #. Press Edit Properties…​ and press Find unresolved
- properties on the next dialogue window
-
- #. The plugin will find the ``${checkstyle.header.file}``
- property is unresolved and will ask should it be added to
- the properties, click yes
-
- #. Now, select the row on the dialogue for the
- ``checkstyle.header.file property`` and click Edit…​
-
- #. Set the value of the ``checkstyle.header.file property``

-
-2.10. Configure Checkstyle Blueprint
-------------------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- As well as being configured globally, Checkstyle must be
- configured and activated for each project in Eclipse. In
- order to make this process less tedious, set up the first
- project you apply Checkstye to as a blueprint project and
- then use this blueprint for all other projects.
-
- .. container:: olist arabic
-
- #. Select the project you want to use as a blueprint
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - For example, ``apex-model.basic-model`` in ``apex``
- and enter the project properties by right clicking
- and selecting **Properties**
-
- #. Click *Checkstyle* on the properties to get the
- Checkstyle project configuration window
-
- #. Click the box *Checkstyle active for this project* and in
- the *Exclude from checking…​* list check the boxes:
-
- .. container:: ulist checklist
-
- - *files outside source directories*
-
- - *derived (generated) files*
-
- - *files from packages:*
-
- #. Now, in order to turn off checking on resource
- directories and on JUnit tests
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Select the line *files from packages:* in the
- *Exclude from checking…​* list and click Change…​
-
- #. On the *Filter packages* dialogue
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Check all the boxes except the top box, which is
- the box for *src/main/java*
-
- - Ensure that the *recursively exclude sub-packages*
- check box is ticked
-
- .. container:: ulist checklist
-
- - *recursively exclude sub-packages*
-
- - Press OK
-
- #. Press Apply and Close to apply the changes
-
-Use Eclipse Source Operations
------------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Eclipse Source Operations can be carried out on individual
- files or on all the files in a package but do not recurse
- into sub-packages. They are available as a menu in Eclipse
- by selecting a file or package and right clicking on
- *Source*. Note that running *Clean Up…​* with the Apex clean
- up profile will run *Format* and *Organize Imports*. So if
- you run a clean up on a file or package, you need not run
- *Format* or *Organize Imports*.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- We recommend you use the following Eclipse Source
- Operations:
-
- .. container:: olist arabic
-
- #. *Format* applies the current format definition to the
- file or all files in a package
-
- #. *Organize Imports* sorts the imports on each file in
- standard order
-
- #. *Clean Up* runs a number of cleaning operations on each
- file. The Apex clean up template
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Remove ``this`` qualifier for non static field
- accesses
-
- - Change non static accesses to static members using
- declaring type
-
- - Change indirect accesses to static members to
- direct accesses (accesses through subtypes)
-
- - Convert control statement bodies to block
-
- - Convert ``for`` loops to enhanced ``for`` loops
-
- - Add final modifier to private fields
-
- - Add final modifier to local variables
-
- - Remove unused imports
-
- - Remove unused private methods
-
- - Remove unused private constructors
-
- - Remove unused private types
-
- - Remove unused private fields
-
- - Remove unused local variables
-
- - Add missing ``@Override`` annotations
-
- - Add missing ``@Override`` annotations to
- implementations of interface methods
-
- - Add missing ``@Deprecated`` annotations
-
- - Add missing serial version ID (generated)
-
- - Remove unnecessary casts
-
- - Remove unnecessary ``$NON-NLS$`` tags
-
- - Organize imports
-
- - Format source code
-
- - Remove trailing white spaces on all lines
-
- - Correct indentation
-
- - Remove redundant type arguments
-
- - Add file header (JAutodoc)
-
-Using JAutodoc
---------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Similar to Eclipse Source Operations, JAutodoc operations
- can be carried out on individual files or on all the files
- in a package but do not recurse into sub-packages. The
- JAutodoc operations are available by selecting a file or
- package and right clicking on *JAutodoc*:
-
- .. container:: olist arabic
-
- #. To add a ``package-info.java`` file to a package, select
- the package and right-click Jautodoc  Add Package Javadoc
-
- #. To add headers to files select on a file (or on the
- package to do all files) and right click JAutodoc  Add
- Header
-
- #. To add JAutodoc stubs to files, select on a file (or on
- the package to do all files) and right click JAutodoc
- Add Javadoc
-
-Using Checkstyle
-----------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- In order to use Checkstyle, you must configure it per
- project and then activate it per project. The easiest way to
- do this is to set up one project as a blueprint and use that
- blueprint for other projects (see above). Once you have a
- blueprint project, you can use Checkstyle on other projects
- as follows
-
- .. container:: olist arabic
-
- #. Set up Checkstyle on projects by selecting one or more
- projects
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Right clicking and selecting Checkstyle  Configure
- project(s) from *blueprint…​* and then selecting
- your blueprint project
-
- - (for example ``apex-model.basic-model``) from the
- list of projects and pressing OK
-
- #. Activate Checkstyle on projects by selecting one or more
- projects
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Right clicking and selecting Checkstyle  Activate
- Checkstyle
-
- - Now Checkstyle warnings will appear on the selected
- projects if they have warnings
-
- #. You can disable Checkstyle checking on a file or a
- package (recursively) by selecting a file or package
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Right clicking and selecting Checkstyle  Clear
- Checkstyle violations
-
- #. You can enable Checkstyle checking on a file or a package
- (recursively) by selecting a file or package
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Right clicking and selecting Checkstyle  Check Code
- with Checkstyle
-
- #. On individual files, you can apply fixes that clear some
- Checkstyle warnings
-
- .. container:: ulist
-
- - Select the file, right click and select **Apply
- Checkstyle fixes**
-
-Disable Eclipse Formatting (partially)
---------------------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Sometimes, the Eclipse code formatting results in correct
- but untidy indentation, for example when Java Persistence
- annotations or long sequences of lined-up assignments are
- formatted. You can disable formatting for sections of code.
-
- .. container:: olist arabic
-
- #. Ensure that Off/On Tags are enabled in Eclipse
-
- #. In Eclipse  Window  Preferences  Java  Code Style
- Formatter window press Edit…​
-
- #. Click on the *Off/On Tags* tab
-
- #. Ensure that the *Enable Off/On Tags* checkbox is checked
-
- #. Surround the section of code that you do not want the
- formatter to act on with comments containing the Off/On
- tags
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- // @formatter:off
- // Plugin Parameters
- private DistributorParameters distributorParameters = new DistributorParameters();
- private SchemaParameters schemaParameters = new SchemaParameters();
- private LockManagerParameters lockManagerParameters = new LockManagerParameters();
- private PersistorParameters persistorParameters = new PersistorParameters();
- // @formatter:on
-
-Supress Checkstyle (partially)
-------------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Sometimes Checkstyle checks identify code that does not comply
- with Checkstyle rules. In limited cases Checkstyle rules can be
- suppressed, for example where it is impossible to design the code
- in a way that complies with Checkstyle or where the Checkstyle
- rule is impossible to apply. Checkstyle rules are suppressed as is
- explained in this `Stackoverflow
- post <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4023185/how-to-disable-a-particular-checkstyle-rule-for-a-particular-line-of-code>`__.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- The example below illustrates how to suppress a Checkstyle rule
- that specifies all methods must have seven parameters or less.
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- // CHECKSTYLE:OFF: checkstyle:ParameterNumber
- public myMethod(final int par1, final int par2, final int par3, final int par4,
- final int par5, final int par6, final int par7, final int par8) {
- }
- // CHECKSTYLE:ON: checkstyle:ParameterNumber

-CLI Example
------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Using the APEX CLI utilities can be done as follows. First,
- add the dependency of the utility project to your POM file.
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- <dependency>
- <groupId>org.onap.policy.apex-pdp.tools</groupId>
- <artifactId>tools-common</artifactId>
- <version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
- </dependency>
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Now, create a new application project, for instance
- ``MyApp``. In this project, create a new main application
- class as ``Application.java``. In this class, create a new
- main method as ``public static void main(String[] args)``.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- Now use the provided ``CliOptions`` and ``CliParser``.
- Manually importing means to add the following lines to the
- start of your application (in Eclipse this import will be
- done automatically):
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- import org.onap.policy.apex.tools.common.CliOptions;
- import org.onap.policy.apex.tools.common.CliParser;
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- Now, inside your ``main()`` method, start setting some general
- application properties. Important are the application name and some
- description of your application. For instance:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- String appName = "test-app";
- final String appDescription = "a test app for documenting how to use the CLI utilities";
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- Next, create a new CLI Parser and add a few CLI options from the
- standard ``CliOptions``. The following example adds options for help,
- version, and a model file:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- final CliParser cli = new CliParser();
- cli.addOption(CliOptions.HELP);
- cli.addOption(CliOptions.VERSION);
- cli.addOption(CliOptions.MODELFILE);
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- Next, parse the given CLI arguments:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- final CommandLine cmd = cli.parseCli(args);
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- Once the command line is parsed, we can look into the individual
- options, check if they are set, and then act accordingly. We start
- with the option for *help*. If the option is present, we print a help
- screen and return:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- // help is an exit option, print usage and exit
- if (cmd.hasOption('h') || cmd.hasOption("help")) {
- final HelpFormatter formatter = new HelpFormatter();
- LOGGER.info(appName + " v" + cli.getAppVersion() + " - " + appDescription);
- formatter.printHelp(appName, cli.getOptions());
- return;
- }
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- Next, we process the option for *version*. Here, we want to print a
- version for our application and return. The CLI Parser already
- provides a method to obtain the correct version for an APEX build, so
- we use that:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- // version is an exit option, print version and exit
- if (cmd.hasOption('v') || cmd.hasOption("version")) {
- LOGGER.info(appName + " " + cli.getAppVersion());
- return;
- }
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- Once help and version arguments are processed, we can proceed to look
- at all other options. We have added an option for a model file, so
- check this option and test if we can actually load a model file with
- the given argument. If we can load a model, everything is ok. If we
- cannot load a model, we print an error and return.
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- String modelFile = cmd.getOptionValue('m');
- if (modelFile == null) {
- modelFile = cmd.getOptionValue("model");
- }
- if (modelFile == null) {
- LOGGER.error(appName + ": no model file given, cannot proceed (try -h for help)");
- return;
- }
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- With a model file being loadable, we finish parsing command line
- arguments. We also print some status messages to note that the
- application now is ready to start:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- LOGGER.info(appName + ": starting");
- LOGGER.info(" --> model file: " + modelFile);
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- The last action now is to run the actual application. The example
- below is taken from a version of the ``Model2Cli`` application, which
- creates a new object and runs it in a ``try`` block, since exceptions
- might be thrown by the object:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- // your code for the application here
- // e.g.
- // try {
- // Model2Cli app = new Model2Cli(modelFile, !cmd.hasOption("sv"), appName);
- // app.runApp();
- // }
- // catch(ApexException aex) {
- // LOGGER.error(appName + ": caught APEX exception with message: " + aex.getMessage());
- // }
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- If this new application is now called with the command line ``-h`` or
- ``--help`` it will print the following help screen:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- test-app v2.0.0-SNAPSHOT - a test app for documenting how to use the CLI utilities
- usage: test-app
- -h,--help prints this help and usage screen
- -m,--model <MODEL-FILE> set the input policy model file
- -v,--version prints the application version
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- If this new application is called with the option ``-v`` or
- ``--version`` it will print its version information as:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- test-app 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
-
-Autoversioning an Application
------------------------------
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- The APEX utilities project provides a means to version an
- application automatically towards the APEX version for which it is
- written. This is realized by generating a file called
- ``app-version.txt`` that includes the Maven project version. This
- file is then automatically deployed in the folder ``etc`` of a
- full APEX distribution. The CLI Parser here provides a method to
- access this version for an application.
-
- .. container:: paragraph
-
- First, create a new CLI Parser object, add some options (in the
- example an option for version, but any options will do), then
- parse the command line:
-
- .. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- final CliParser cli = new CliParser();
- cli.addOption(CliOptions.VERSION);
- final CommandLine cmd = cli.parseCli(args);
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- Next, we check if the version option was used in the command line and
- print application name and version if it was used:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- // version is an exit option, print version and exit
- if (cmd.hasOption('v') || cmd.hasOption("version")) {
- LOGGER.info("myApp" + " " + cli.getAppVersion());
- return;
- }
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- The output will be:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: bash
-
- myApp 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- The auto-version information comes from the method call
- ``cli.getAppVersion()`` in line 2 in the example above. The method is
- defined in the ``CliParser`` class as:
-
-.. container:: listingblock
-
- .. container:: content
-
- .. code:: java
- :number-lines:
-
- public String getAppVersion() {
- return new Scanner(CliParser.class.getResourceAsStream("/app-version.txt"), "UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next();
- }
-
-.. container:: paragraph
-
- The file ``app-version.txt`` is automatically added to an APEX full
- distribution, as described above (for details on this see the POM
- files in the APEX application packaging projects).
