RHQ Developers,
Today we merged the rhq-on-as7 branch into master. With this change we
make a big leap from having RHQ run on AS4.2.3 to AS7.1.1.Final. Many
details about this migration can be found here:
https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ/Hosting+RHQ+Server+in+AS7
There are also important child pages discussing testing impact and
further changes to installation.
To make the change as painless as possible I'd suggest the following,
starting ** PRIOR TO PULLING **:
* Clean your existing environment.
1. Perform an mvn clean -Pdev,enterprise
2. (Optional) Delete your current M2 repo. I know this is painful,
but this would be a good time to start fresh as many versions
are changing.
* If necessary install Java7 and make any adjustments to make it the
version with which you build RHQ.
o RHQ now builds only on Java7
o It still supports a Java6 runtime
* If necessary, install Maven 3.0.4 and make any adjustments to make
it the version with which you build RHQ.
o RHQ should be built on Maven3, and this is the version we've
been using in the branch.
* Git pull and Build
o Use -Ddbsetup as schema specs may be confused in a dev environment
o Note, dbupgrade from RHQ 4.5 should be fine
If you have any issues please contact me (jshaughn) or mazz in #RHQ.
As for running the new RHQ Server, the scripts that you run have the
same names as before - rhq-server.sh on UNIX/Linux and rhq-server.bat on
Windows. Note that the latest code has a new installer that is GWT
based, however, now if you perform a dev build, the auto-installer is
preconfigured and will run for you the first time you start the server.
Also note that the intention is that the GWT installer will be going
away - it was a stop-gap measure until we get a new installation
procedure put in place. If you do a production/release build, you will
need to go to the GWT installer and finish the installation prior to
being able to use the new server - the GWT installer is at
http://localhost:8080/rhq-gwt-installer once you have the server running
for the first time.

Thanks Jay and Mazz.
Eclipse Users should update the JDK_HOME variable, right ?
