+ +

What this is about

+

This page can be used by those who would like to pick and choose pieces of Tuscany and embed it with their software. It outlines dependencies and identifies the minimum set of modules required to use Tuscany.

+ +

Current Tuscany Packaging State

+

As of release 1.3 Tuscany is distributed via one binary distribution that includes everything. Based on user feedback, choice of a smaller distribution packages is desireable. Tuscany community is in the process of addressing this requirement. Please see discussions on the mailing list and contribute if interested.

+ +

How to build your own distribution

+ +

Let's use the term "feature" to refer to a package. This is also used in Eclipse and many people are familiar with it.

+ +

A Tuscany user has defined a set of features applicable to his application at this location. Although these features can be addressing majority of lower granular packages that users may need (we would like to hear your opinion), we realize that there will always be a need for smaller features or a combination of features. let's use the real examples that are available in the source code for the purpose of this discussion and first explain what is available as an example and then describe how you can create your own distribution.

+ +

Here are the available feature types at the moment:

+

all feature - includes everything

+ + +

You will also notice the following under features:

+

repository -
+This package is a special feature that builds a Maven repository that you can use to mirror Tuscany. This can be useful for enterprises that build on top of Tuscany, or use Tuscany in their apps, but don't want to be broken any time the public Maven repos going down

+ + + +

Minimum Required

+

Core feature set is the minimum that is required to be able to develop SCA applications using Java components.

+ +

How to build my own distribution?

+ +

You can use the above features as examples to define what you need. For example, if you want to develop enterprise applications using webservices, you would need the following features: ejb feature (which includes core) and webservices feature. Alternatively you can find the dependencies amongst modules and create your own distribution.

+ +

Understanding dependencies

+ +

To understand module dependencies, you can start with a particular feature and run one of the following commands.

+

+go to the feature directory and issue the command:
+
+mvn:site 
+
+This will create a file called dependencies.html that shows dependencies amongst modules that create this feature.
+

+

+ +

or for the text version of the dependencies you can use the following command

+ +

+

 mvn dependency:tree

+
