TOTD #18: How to Build The GlassFish v3 Gem for JRuby ?

Jerome posted the instructions to build GlassFish v3 Gem for JRuby – very simple and easy. A binary version of Gem is available here.

1. Software pre-requisite
   1. Subversion client (for example Tigris)
   2. Maven 2.0.x
   3. JRuby 1.0.x (I used JRuby 1.0.2 and lets say installed in JRUBY_HOME).  Make sure JRUBY_HOME/bin is in your path.
2. Build the Gem

   1. As explained in Jerome’s entry, you can check out complete GlassFish v3 workspace or just the Gem code. Here is how you’ll check out only the Gem code on a Windows machine using Tigris Subversion client:

      

      And after the check out is complete, you’ll see:

      

   2. Build the gem by giving the command:

      mvn install

      And success is achieved by seeing the following in the console:

      [INFO] (in 
      		C:/workspaces/glassfish/gem/target/dependency/glassfish)<br>
      		[WARNING] mkdir -p pkg<br>

      The Gem is available in

      targetdependencyglassfishpkg

      directory.

3. Install the Gem

   1. Change to the directory where the Gem is available

      cd

      targetdependencyglassfishpkg

   2. Install the Gem as:

      C:testbedrubyjruby-1.0.2binjruby -S gem install 
      		GlassFish-10.0.0-java.gem<br>
      		Successfully installed GlassFish, version 10.0.0

And use it!
