Building from Sources

To ensure reproducible builds, this Maven project inherits from the vegardit-maven-parent project, which declares fixed versions and sensible default settings for all official Maven plugins.

The project also uses the maven-toolchains-plugin, which decouples the JDK used to execute Maven and its plugins from the target JDK used for compilation and unit testing. This ensures full binary compatibility of the compiled artifacts with the runtime library of the required target JDK.

To build the project, follow these steps:

1. Install a Java 17 JDK

   Download and install a Java 17 SDK, e.g. from:

   • https://adoptium.net/releases.html?variant=openjdk17
   • https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-17-lts&package=jdk#zulu

2. Configure Maven Toolchains

   In your user home directory, create the file .m2/toolchains.xml with the following content:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?>
   <toolchains xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/TOOLCHAINS/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/TOOLCHAINS/1.1.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/toolchains-1.1.0.xsd">
      <toolchain>
         <type>jdk</type>
         <provides>
            <version>17</version>
            <vendor>default</vendor>
         </provides>
         <configuration>
            <jdkHome>[PATH_TO_YOUR_JDK_17]</jdkHome>
         </configuration>
      </toolchain>
   </toolchains>

   Replace [PATH_TO_YOUR_JDK_17] with the path to your JDK installation.

3. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/haxe4e/haxe-studio.git

4. Build the Project

   Run mvnw clean verify in the project root directory. This will execute compilation, unit testing, integration testing, and packaging of all artifacts.
