I decided that I could make that process faster by just replacing the WSRP artifacts in an already built version of GateIn if there hadn’t been any API change in the WSRP module. I present the following script to that effect:

# extract most recent version of WSRP module: only check the first 5 lines of maven-metadata-local.xml and extract value from <version> tag
export CURRENT_WSRP=`sed -n -e '5 s/.*<version>\(.*\)<\/version>.*/\1/p' $HOME/.m2/repository/org/gatein/wsrp/wsrp-common/maven-metadata-local.xml`
echo Current WSRP version: \'$CURRENT_WSRP\'

# extract which WSRP libs are currently needed by GateIn and replace them with a fresh version from local repository
for lib in `ls $GATEIN_EAR_HOME/lib/wsrp* | sed -n 's/.*\/\(.*\)-'$CURRENT_WSRP'.jar/\1/p'`
do
	echo Copying $lib-$CURRENT_WSRP.jar to $GATEIN_EAR_HOME/lib/
	cp $HOME/.m2/repository/org/gatein/wsrp/$lib/$CURRENT_WSRP/$lib-$CURRENT_WSRP.jar $GATEIN_EAR_HOME/lib/
done

# deal with producer and admin GUI WARs separately as they are put elsewhere and without version name
for war in `ls $GATEIN_EAR_HOME/wsrp* | sed -n 's/.*\/\(.*\).war/\1/p'`
do
	echo Copying $war-$CURRENT_WSRP.war to $GATEIN_EAR_HOME/$war.war
	cp $HOME/.m2/repository/org/gatein/wsrp/$war/$CURRENT_WSRP/$war-$CURRENT_WSRP.war $GATEIN_EAR_HOME/$war.war
done

Note that this script expects that you have a $GATEIN_EAR_HOME variable set, pointing to location of your GateIn EAR. Easy enough (though I had to freshen up my sed-fu ^_^).

# extract most recent version of WSRP module from existing files
CURRENT_WSRP=`ls $GATEIN_EAR_HOME/lib/wsrp* | sed -n '1 s/.*\/.*-\([0-9]\.[0-9].[0-9]-.*-.*\).jar/\1/p'`

We had a nice face to face meeting in Charmey, Switzerland with some of the eXo guys. It was nice to see my co-workers and meet new ones. Lots of good discussions. We even found a way to fit in some fun, which is always good to bind teams. Oh, and we did, of course, get to eat various melted cheese dishes and you can’t really go wrong with that!

Integrating both code bases has taken (and still does) a lot of effort from both teams. This has translated in some long hours and little sleep but we’ve just released a new beta version for you to try and enjoy! Apart from lots of improvements and fixes, the big news is, of course, that we now provide the complete source code! Read more about it on the official GateIn blog.

Of course, we’re not done yet so keep watching the blog. You can also follow GateIn on Twitter.
