Simple project

The simple project is an empty BusinessWorks project.

Create

The command to create a new default empty project:

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId= \
    fr.fastconnect.factory.tibco.bw.maven \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId= \
    archetype-bw-default-project

Several parameters must be provided (with -D command line option) :

Design

Move to the project directory (the one with the POM):

cd ./simple-project

Launch the TIBCO Designer with the bw:launch-designer goal:

mvn bw:launch-designer

The project can be edited as any other TIBCO BusinessWorks project.

NB: before going on with the package phase, it is mandatory to exit the TIBCO Designer.

Package

The packaging of the application is performed with this command:

mvn package

This will create the TIBCO BusinessWorks EAR archive and the associated configuration files.

Simple Projlib

The simple Projlib is an empty BusinessWorks Projlib.

Create

The command to create a new default empty Projlb project:

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=
   fr.fastconnect.factory.tibco.bw.maven \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=
   archetype-bw-default-projlib

Several parameters must be provided (with -D command line option) :

Design

Move to the project directory (the one with the POM):

cd ./simple-projlib

Launch the TIBCO Designer with the bw:launch-designer goal:

mvn bw:launch-designer

The project can be edited as any other TIBCO BusinessWorks project.

NB: before going on with the package phase, it is mandatory to exit the TIBCO Designer.

Package

The packaging of the application is performed with this command:

mvn package

This will create the TIBCO BusinessWorks Projlib.

NB: to make available this Projlib to other projects, it is mandatory to perform the install phase. The install phase will perform the same goals as the package phase but will also copy the Maven artifact generated in the Maven local repository. This is the command to run:

mvn install

To share the Projlib between different developers, it is better to perform the deploy phase to deploy the artifact on a remote repository with this command:

mvn deploy

Dependency management

With the BWMaven plugin it is possible to define a dependency relation between a TIBCO BusinessWorks project and a Projlib. It is done with the standard Maven dependency mechanism .

Add

The command to add the simple-projlib as a dependency (to run in simple-project folder for instance).

mvn bw:add-dependency

Several parameters must be provided (with -D command line option) :

The full command line:

mvn bw:add-dependency \
    -DdependencyGroupId=com.company.project \
    -DdependencyArtifactId=simple-projlib \
    -DdependencyVersion=1.0.0 \
    -DdependencyType=projlib \
    -DdoIt=true

POM

The dependency management commands will update the <dependencies> section of the project’s POM:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.company.project</groupId>
    <artifactId>simple-projlib</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <type>projlib</type>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

NB: the dependency management is just a convenient method to manipulate the declarative <dependencies> section of a POM. Consequently, the result might be inconsistent if the dependency to add does not exist or is not correct.

Remove

The command to remove the simple-projlib dependency (to run in simple-project folder for instance).

mvn bw:remove-dependency

Several parameters must be provided (with -D command line option) :

The full command line:

mvn bw:remove-dependency \
    -DdependencyGroupId=com.company.project \
    -DdependencyArtifactId=simple-projlib \
    -DdependencyVersion=1.0.0 \
    -DdependencyType=projlib \
    -DdoIt=true
