Compiling the Samples

After you download the samples locally, you build them for the Team Studio web application.

1. Change your directory (cd) to CustomPlugins/PluginExampleProject.
   If you intend to build the samples on Windows, be sure to read the Windows considerations in Compiling the Samples on Windows.
2. Run the following command:

   mvn package

   Note: If you are unable to access Maven Central at your company, Team Studio can provide an assembly JAR with the necessary dependencies included. You must change the location of the dependencies in the pom.xml file to point to the JAR locally instead of Maven Central. See thre Knowledge Base article How to Compile Custom Operators with an Assembly JAR. for instructions.

   Running mvn package does the following:

   1. Validates that the package is correct and has all the necessary information and JARs. If any JARs are missing, it downloads them automatically. This step takes longer the first time because the JARs are being retrieved.
   2. Compiles all of the sample code.
   3. Runs any unit tests.
   4. Creates a JAR that can be uploaded into a Team Studio instance.

• Compiling the Samples on Windows
  When you build the samples, the tests might not run on Windows without additional configuration. This topic provides a workaround procedure.
