Building GlassFish v3 using SVN

Steps for building Glassfish v3 using SVN

• First things first!! You need internet connectivity for building it at least first time as maven will download lots of jars. Also uninstall Java 6 from your system. Java 6 won’t create any problem during building but you will get exception when you try to run glassfish server.

• Download the latest binary of SVN from Collabnet Subversion

• Download latest binary of Maven from Download Maven

• Checkout the latest copy of glassfish v3 branch
svn checkout https://glassfish-svn.dev.java.net/svn/glassfish-svn/trunk/v3 \ glassfish-v3-branch --username JAVA_NET_USERNAME

• Increase the JVM size otherwise the build will fail with errors like OutofMemory
set maven_opts=-Xmx512m (Windows)
Incase u still get errors increase this value

• Now execute following. Here we are skipping the tests as some of the tests fail
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

• Once build is successful a zip file with following name “glassfish-10.0-SNAPSHOT.zip” will be created in ${branch-dir}\distributions\glassfish\target\

• Unzip the file and it will create dir with name ‘glassfish’. Then execute following
java –jar glassfish\modules\glassfish.jar

And finally your glassfish server is up and running. Test it on browser
http://localhost:8080/
