Mavenized-bbb-project

This is an example mavenized blackboard project that uses B2DeployTask to deploy to a blackboard instance.

Deploying is as easy as mvn install antrun:run

Compare that one maven command with vanilla eclipse development:

  1. Export Project to war
  2. Navigate to blackboard
  3. Login
  4. Navigate to System Admin > Building Blocks > Installed Tools > Upload Building Blocks
  5. Click Browse and then find the war file
  6. Click Submit

Finally, make deployment even easier by Integrating maven with eclipse:

  1. Right click on the Project in the Project Explorer
  2. Click Run as > Maven Build ALT+SHIFT+X, m
  3. Type install antrun:run in the Goals field
  4. Click Run.

Then a simple ALT+R, T, 1 will run the last maven invocation which makes reploys even easier!

NOTE: deploying using justplainwiley's b2deploy-task is dependent on bb-starting-block-123.war
