CI with Jenkins and suggested project structure [message #1769555]

Hi,

I would like to know how to solve a problem I'm facing with an e(fx)clipse project and Jenkins: I followed the suggested structure for the project (I created the project with the e(fx)clipse wizzard) and I am unable to run any Maven top goals. Jenkins rightfully complains that there is no pom.xml in top folder and I don't know how to execute the build process from within the releng project.

If I have to add a root pom.xml in the top folder, do I need to change the parent in each pom.xml (except releng) to point to it and set the root parent to the releng project?

[edit]
I found people with a similar problem in Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12612076/maven-multi-module-project-and-jenkins. For what I understand from one of the answers, there should be an aggregate pom at the root of the project and the configuration pom with all the dependencies (in our case the one in the releng project). Is this the correct approach? I am in doubt because the default project structure does not suggest this...

Thanks!

I think I got the solution: running maven with the -f parameter and the path to the pom.xml inside the releng project, as explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24853302/maven-cannot-find-pom-xml-in-jenkins-workspace

One question I still have is which folders/files to avoid checking into Subversion (which has a hook that triggers the Jenkins build). Should I include the target folders? I read in some stackoverflow answer that the target folders should not be added to Subversion.

Also, running

mvn clean verify

from the releng project in my computer results in a build success, but if I run it in Jenkins, the build fails in the application bundle with the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-compiler-plugin:1.0.0:compile (default-compile) on project com.jewelfx.app: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

[ERROR] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[ERROR] The type javafx.collections.ListChangeListener$Change cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Any ideas on how to solve that?

Thanks!
