Building from source

Each module of the Spring Batch Extensions project is hosted as independent project with its own release cycle. For the build process of individual modules we recomend using a Maven build system modelled after the Spring Batch project.

Therefore, the following build instructions should generally apply for most, if not all, Spring Batch Extensions. In the instructions below, mvn is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build. The only prerequisites are Git and JDK 1.6+.

Check out the sources

git clone git://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch-extensions.git

Go into the directory of a specific module

cd spring-batch-extensions

cd module-name

Compile and test, build all jars

mvn clean package

Install the modules jars into your local Maven cache

mvn install

Import sources into your IDE

Using Eclipse / STS

When using Spring Tool Suite you can directly import Maven based projects:

File -> Import -> Maven Project

Alternatively, you can also generate the Eclipse metadata (.classpath and .project files) using Maven:

mvn eclipse:eclipse

Once complete, you may then import the projects into Eclipse as usual:

File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace

Using IntelliJ IDEA

To generate IDEA metadata (.iml and .ipr files), do the following:

mvn idea:idea
