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.
