The build uses Gradle. The build script will automatically install the bits it needs if they aren't already installed.
Use ./mk
./mk tasks to show the list of tasks
Use wmk.bat
wmk.bat tasks to show list of tasks
The JAR components of vert.x can be prepared for Maven repositories and installed locally or uploaded to Maven Central.
To install the JARs into your local Maven cache (~/.m2) execute the command below. (This is effectively the same as uploading and the refreshing the dependencies of your build.)
./mk install
A committer with appropriate access to the org.vert-x group at OSS Sonatype (Maven Central) can upload JARs by configuring the following properties in the file ~/.gradle/gradle.properties. Gradle uses two plugins to do this, the signing and maven plugins.
signing.keyId=12345678
signing.password=YYYYYYYYY
signing.secretKeyRingFile=/Users/<username>/.gnupg/secring.gpg
sonatypeUsername=myusername
sonatypePassword=XXXXXXXXX
To sign, hash and upload the JARs to Maven Central execute:
./mk uploadArchives
The current build contains a cyclic dependency between the compile and testCompile phases of the vertx-core and vertx-platform projects.
While Gradle resolves this satisfactorily, Eclipse issues an error. To change this to a warning, change the preference to a warning:
Preferences->Java->Compiler->Building->Build path problems->Circular dependencies
