Smooks UN/EDIFACT Bindings

Here are some slides about the philosophy behind this project.

THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

Please contact the Mailing list if you wish to adopt the project and continue it's evolution.

Building

Pre-requisites

1. JDK 1.5
2. Apache Maven 3 (v3.0.5 recommended)

Maven

For the moment, if you try to build all modules in the same reactor you will most likely run into an out-of-memory error (Permgen space to be precise). If you still want to build all modules in a single step, cd to the parent folder and run

> mvn clean install

If you want to build just a part or you have tried the method above and failed, cd to the parent folder and

cd ../d96a
mvn clean install

build.sh

To build all packages without deploying them to Nexus (Maven Central), simply run ./build.sh with no parameters (equivalent to running mvn clean install). To build a specific set of packages, supply the package name(s) as a space separated list of parameters e.g. ./build.sh d00a d00b.

To build all packages and deploy to the Nexus repository (Maven Central) (read more here).

Release strategy

A new version of this project is published to Maven Central along with every new version of Smooks Core. This version has the same version number as the Smooks Core version number, suffixed with .0. For example, when Smooks Core version 1.7.1 was released, a corresponding version 1.7.1.0 of this project was also released. Releases made alongside Smooks Core releases contain all EDIFACT releases available up to that point.

Additional releases made in between Smooks Core releases due to addition of new EDIFACT releases increment the most minor version number in sequential order (n.n.n.1, n.n.n.2, n.n.n.3, and so on).

Adding a new UN/EDIFACT specification

Find your specification on the UNECE site then create a directory named after the specification (you can copy-paste an older one) where you will download the ZIP file for the desired specification.
