Apache Tiles

For all the next instructions, we assume that you downloaded and installed Maven.

To download packages from the source repository, you need to download and install Subversion.

If you want to build something including JavaDocs (assemblies, sites and JavaDoc report itself) you need to install GraphViz, otherwise you will notice missing pictures inside JavaDocs pages.

To build Tiles from source you need to:

  • download the source distribution, or checkout the latest version:

    svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tiles/framework/trunk/tiles-parent

  • go into the source directory and type:

    mvn package

You will find the generated JARs under:

  • {tiles-dir}/tiles-{module}/target/tiles-{module}-${version}.jar

See Selenium testing with Tiles Test webapp.

To build distributions, you need to:

  • download the source distribution, or checkout the latest version:

    svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tiles/framework/trunk/

  • go into the source directory and type:

    mvn install site

  • go into the {tiles-dir}/assembly directory and type:

    mvn assembly:assembly

You will find the generated distribution under {tiles-dir}/assembly/target/assembly/out.

There are four Tiles websites: the main website and the projects websitesi (tiles-request, tiles-autotag, framework).

To build the main website:

  • checkout the site from the source repository:

    svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tiles/site/

  • go into the site directory and type:

    mvn site

You will find the generated distribution under {tiles-site-dir}/target/site.

To build the framework website:

  • download the source distribution, or checkout the latest version:

    svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tiles/framework/trunk/tiles-parent/

  • go into the source directory and type:

    mvn site site:stage

You will find the generated website under:

  • {tiles-dir}/target/staging
