ADF build using Maven from Jenkins

User_D2P5S

Hi All,

We are working on automating our build and deploy process using  Jenkins and Maven.

Currently our ADF applications are build directly from Jdeveloper and deployed to weblogic application server.

Trying to understand the process to build ears through Maven from Jenkins. Our code is placed in Github and jenkins is pointing to github.

We are having issues in building the ear through maven.

Can anyone please share details or documents on building Ear through Maven in Jenkins.

I have created the pom.xmls in jdeveloper and trying to use maven.oracle.com repository. Using my Oracle SSO credentials to in maven settings.xml. But this doesnt work, not sure if I am following the right process.

Regards,

Prabhu

User, tell us your exact JDev version, please!

Have you successful build the app (and ear) using maven on your dev machine using maven inside JDev?

Packaging an ear file of an ADF application requires an JDev installation (headless if you like) as the creation of the ear changes some configuration files during the process.

What does the Jenkins pipeline consist of? Is the Maven plugin for Jenkins used?

Hi dvohra21,

Yeah, we have installed Maven plugin in Jenkins. While running the maven build noticing below errors.

I have added maven.oracle.com as the repository and using my Oracle SSO credentials.

Hi Timo,

In my laptop's jdeveloper the maven package isn't working during log4j.jar file from apache repository.

In this case, should we be adding both maven.oracle.com and apache repositories to fetch the required jars?

I am trying to build the ears from Jenkins using the maven plugin available with it.

When you mention "Packaging an ear file of an ADF application requires an JDev installation"

In this case, should I be installing jdeveloper in Jenkins server?

How does maven plugin in Jenkins builds the ear, I am wondering it isn't able to connect to maven.oracle.com repository.

This really depends on your JDev version - in version 12.2.1 you can setup an application in JDev to be built with Maven instead of the "JDev deployment profiles".

This might be more useful if you are trying to build without a local JDev install on your CI engine.

If you want to leverage the deployment profiles that JDev offers you will need to install JDev in a place accessible by your Jenkins.

I would also recommend that you'll look into potentially using Oracle Developer Cloud Service - it has Git+CI Engine+JDeveloper configured already.
