Hi All,
I am looking for ideas on how do build automation of IBM integration bus using maven. it can be done in ant but Maven is chosen over ant so help needed.
1. I am unable to install the maven plug-in on IBM Integration bus v9.0
2. Is there is way to integrate Integration bus projects with maven?
3. If yes then how do I invoke .exe or batch files or run the commands using maven.
Please let me know if any of you have done build using maven.
Thanks |

Why not? What's the error? Are you sure the version of the plug in you're using is compatible with the level of Eclipse used by the Toolkit.
(Disclaimer: I have never personally used a Maven plug in with Toolkit; where I've used Maven it's not been integrated with the Toolkit and hence this advice is more general)

Of course there is, with or without the plug in. There's no difference (conceptually) between what IIB uses and any other Eclipse workspace or project. Any topology that uses Eclipse will work with IIB.

The same way you'd run any other command with maven; I typed "running commands with Maven" and got a screen full of hits. The only variance is that you need to ensure the command shell is properly sourced (mqsiprofile) before running any IIB specific commands. As you say:

you're clearly aware of this.

And using Ant, and using Jenkins, and an assortment of other tools, in a variety of configurations & topologies, with varying levels of success.
Not all of the problems were technological

Hello,
Which maven plugin are you using for IBM Integration Bus v9.0?
Cheers! |

| I dont think there is a maven plugin for IIB. With IBM Integration API it is easy to build your own little plugins for various tasks. |

If we're talking about a maven plugin for Toolkit, then the version of Eclipse is extremely important.
If we're talking about a maven plugin for runtime, then mqsicreatebar/mqsipackagebar and mqsideploybar, etc. should be easily scriptable using any build tool.

A couple of years ago I integrated WMB v7 into a Maven/Jenkins continuous development thing.
It was pretty painful ! I wrote a couple of custom Maven MOJO plugins which performed mqsicreatebar and mqsiapplybaroverride tasks, that was the easy bit. The hard part was defining all the POM files and coercing them to play nicely with project/msgflow/esql files etc. |

I was looking for a maven plugin for runtime. Trying to implement a continuous integration scenario, at the moment, I'm using mqsicreatebar through an ANT script that it's called by an Maven in a Jenkins job.
It would be perfect to have just the Maven configuration, and as far I understand, I can achieve that if I write a custom maven MOJO.
I would like to go further with that, but IIB makes this pretty hard to implement.
In a workspace with multiple projects (applications, libraries, message sets and java projects) and with project references between some of them, it would make sense to have a pom file by each project where this dependencies are identified (what toolkit maintains at the .project or .classpath files). And at the end, project inheritance! But, thinking in such approach raised the problems that I describe bellow:
1. Each project under my workspace should have a pom and declare a packaging (.appzip, .libzip, .dictionary, jar, etc). These are package types that I don't have and even if I had, it would be right to upload them to a maven repository?
2. Assuming that the last point can be possible, if a project has a dependency that not exists in the workspace but exists in the maven repository, Toolkit won't be able to build the project because the other is missing.
3. If somehow, it's possible to implement an maven MOJO for this, Toolkit will always need the .project files.
These are just three, but, I'm pretty sure that will be much more! |
