4. Server Compilation

Tigase XMPP Server Project uses Maven for compilation. For details on Maven and it’s use, please see the Maven Guide.

4.1. Distribution Packages

Once Compiled, Tigase creates two separate distribution archives:

-dist is a minimal version containing only tigase-server, tigase-xmltools and tigase-utils, MUC, Pubsub, and HTTP.
-dist-max is a version containing all additional tigase components as well as dependencies required by those components.

They will be available as both zip and tarball.

After cloning tigase-server repository:

git clone https://repository.tigase.org/git/tigase-server.git
cd tigase-server

You compile server with maven :

mvn clean install

This will: - Build Tigase XMPP tigase-server jar in tigase-server/target.

If you wish to include compilation of the documentation use distribution profile:

mvn -Pdist clean install

This will - compile server binaries. - generate javadoc and manual documentation tigase-server/target/_docs directory.

Distribution building is handled by separate project (Tigase Server Distribution)

In order to build distribution packages * clone tigase-server-distribution repository:

git clone https://git.tigase.tech/tigase-server-distribution
tigase-server-distribution

and compile it using maven with distribution profile:

mvn -Pdist clean install

This will:

compile all documentation sources (including dependencies) and place them in tigase-server-distribution/target/_docs directory
download all dependencies in defined versions and put them in tigase-server-distribution/target/dist/jars/ directory.
create both types of distribution packages (-dist and -dist-max) and place them in tigase-server-distribution/target/_dist/ directory.

Afterwards you can run the server with the regular shell script from within server module:

cd server
./scripts/tigase.sh start etc/tigase.conf

Please bear in mind, that you need to provide correct setup in etc/config.tdsl configuration files for the server to work correctly.
