oVirt Java SDK

TODO

Update the project so it can be built in a standard way using xmvn

Introduction

The oVirt Java SDK is a Java package that simplifies access to the oVirt Engine API.

Building

Most of the source code of the Java SDK is automatically generated from the API model.

The code generator is a Java program that resides in the generator directory. This Java program will get the API model and the metamodel artifacts from the available Maven repositories. To build and run it use the following commands:

$ git clone git://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-engine-sdk-java
$ mvn package

This will build the code generator and run it to generate the SDK for the version of the API that corresponds to the branch of the SDK that you are using.

If you need to generate it for a different version of the API then you can use the model.version property. For example, if you need to generate the SDK for version 4.1.0 of the SDK you can use this command:

$ mvn package -Dmodel.version=4.1.0

Once the source code is generated, it needs to be built:

$ cd sdk
$ mvn clean install

The generated .jar files will be located in the sdk/target directory:

$ find target -name '*.jar'
target/ovirt-engine-sdk-4.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
