Hello,
I have previously posted about generating a bar file, which is no longer the issue anymore. Now I need to add an application to the bar file.
I essentially want to have something like
| Code: |
| mqsicreatebar -data C:\Workspace -b myflow.bar -a Application1 -trace |
but getting the files from a bitbucket repository.
Can I amend this ant script:
| Code: |
<target name="run_mqsipackagebar" description="--> runs mqsipackagbar from an ant task">
<java classname="com.ibm.broker.config.appdev.FlowRendererBAR"
failonerror="true"
fork="true">
<arg line="-a MyBAR.bar"/>
<arg line="-k MyApplication"/>
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${MQSI_JARPATH}">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</classpath>
</java>
</target> |
Or just edit the com.rsb.wmb.createbar plugin, and how can I deploy it afterwards?
As it is open source, it contains the java files, so would be easier to just amend the file as:
| Code: |
Commandline cmdline = new Commandline();
cmdline.setExecutable(mqsicreatebarLocation);
(cmdline.createArg()).setValue("-data");
(cmdline.createArg()).setValue(workspace.getPath());
(cmdline.createArg()).setValue("-b");
(cmdline.createArg()).setValue(getName());
(cmdline.createArg()).setValue("-cleanBuild");
(cmdline.createArg()).setValue("-a");
(cmdline.createArg()).setValue(mainProject); |
I am quite puzzled on this one, so any help will be really welcomed. |

Don't forget to setup for running a headless eclipse session...

Right, I will have to google that one then  . But any view on which approach is better? |

No, you should always run the command line from ant and etc.
Whatever you think you're accomplishing with that Java is really not going to work very well.
There's otherwise a basic difference between mqsicreatebar and mqsipackagebar. One compiles resources and one doesn't. |

Thank you for the response.
I thought it would be beneficial to create a plugin that just executes mqsicreatebar and adds an application to the bar file.
As running the command from Ant, is there any documentation on how to include a connection to my bitbucket repository? Is it similar to Maven?
| Code: |
<scm>
<connection>scm:git:git@bitbucket.org:test/tesst-test-test.git</connection>
<developerConnection>scm:git:git@bitbucket.org:test/test-test-tesst.git</developerConnection>
<tag>HEAD</tag>
</scm> |

mqsicreatebar and mqsipackagebar work with an eclipse workspace on a filesystem.
When working with a source control system of any kind, one usually runs a separate step to extract files from source control into an eclipse workspace (or at least a directory on the file system that can become an eclipse workspace) , and then points mqsicreatebar/packagebar at that workspace.
If you're writing your own ant plugin, then never mind what I said. I just didn't recognize that. Most of the time it's not worth the trouble.
When you get around to working with runtime commands, you need to remember that mqsiprofile has to be applied in the running shell - and with Ant it's easiest to do this by applying it to the shell running Ant, rather than trying to make an individual task apply the shell before running exec. |

I definitely agree that it is not worth the trouble, I am just kinda being forced to do so.
However, as you said, using an Ant script could actually be better. Is there something I can read about adding this extra step to extract files from source control into an eclipse workspace and then fire up the mqsicreatebar?
Thanks for the detailed answer. |

the extra step is usually just another exec that calls whatever commandline your source control system uses, to retrieve the relevant resources into a new folder/workspace.
I don't know anything about bitbucket, so I don't know how to do that with bitbucket. |

| I am not sure how exactly to initiate it. Have you got an example with Github or something similar I can use as guidance? |
