pantsbuild #general

My favorite thing is just how incomprehensible the UI on sonatype is. OK, CI is running. I started it "early" (since the new artifact won't be available for an hour or two), but since Travis is so slow, hopefully the timing will work out right. Will ship once I get a green CI.

I put up a review for a single file with some docstrings marking methods as public. I would love feedback about if this is clear, formatting considerations etc. I’ve tried to include everyone who was involved in the conversation the other day but if I missed someone please let me know.

Looking at the JVM bundle task, there's a bunch of stuff in there about using a "basename prefix."

I'm struggling to understand what a basename prefix is and what it's for

Copy code

register('--use-basename-prefix', action='store_true', default=False,
     help='Use target basename to prefix bundle folder or archive; otherwise a unique '
          'identifier derived from target will be used.')

I think that just means bundles get named like

‘{prefix}.jar’.format(prefix=basename(target_spec))

e.g. if your target spec is ‘//path/to:my_target’ -> ‘my_target.jar'

What's the difference between

jvm_app

and

jvm_binary

(you can explicitly set a base name on a jvm_binary target; otherwise the name of the target is used)

https://pantsbuild.github.io/build_dictionary.html says:

>> jvm_app: A deployable JVM application.

jvm_binary: A JVM binary.

a jvm_binary has nothing except a classpath

witty-crayon-22786

02/03/2016, 11:45 PM

a jvm_app can include additional things like scripts

When I

./pants bundle examples/src/java/org/pantsbuild/example/hello/main

it seems to create both bundles in

dist

, one for the

jvm_binary

and one for the

jvm_app

Is that expected?

witty-crayon-22786

02/03/2016, 11:51 PM

yes, i believe that is expected at the moment

they're based on symlinks, so it should be zero cost.

I'm trying to figure out if I can use

jvm_app

to generate an exploded war file, with JSPs in the root directory and JARs in the

WEB-INF/libs
