Package information

java-ebuilder is an experimental package being developed by Gentoo Java developers to generate initial ebuilds from Maven pom.xml files. In its simplest form, it takes pom.xml file and several other parameters and creates an ebuild that should be checked and tested before committed. There are also add-on scripts that will generate ebuilds for any dependencies that are not packaged yet. Currently this application generates some features that are not supported by java-pkg-simple.eclass yet.

Usage

After a package source is downloaded and unpacked

user $wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/logging/log4j/2.15.0/apache-log4j-2.15.0-src.tar.gz

user $tar xzf apache-log4j-2.15.0-src.tar.gz

Step into its directory and find the pom files

user $cd apache-log4j-2.15.0-src

user $find . -name pom.xml

Refresh (create) java-ebuilder's java ebuild cache

user $java-ebuilder -c -t /var/db/repos/gentoo/

Then let it generate the ebuild, say from the log4j-api-java9 subdirectory

user $java-ebuilder --generate-ebuild --workdir . \

user $--pom log4j-api-java9/pom.xml \

user $--download-uri mirror://apache/logging/log4j/2.15.0/apache-log4j-2.15.0-src.tar.gz \

user $--slot 2 \

user $--keywords "~amd64 ~arm ~arm64 ~ppc64 ~x86" \

user $--ebuild log4j-api-java9-2.15.0.ebuild
