Platform Deployment Build with Maven

If you don't have Maven installed on your machine yet, use PLATFORM_INFRASTRUCTURE_OVERVIEW

The syntax for running Maven commands is mvn [command]. They have to be executed in the console in sophie2-platform (in the repository) directory or in the module you want to command (again in its directory). The basic of them are:

• validate: validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available
• compile: compile the source code of the project
• test: test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed
• package: take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR.
• integration-test: process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run
• verify: run any checks to verify the package is valid and meets quality criteria
• install: install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally
• deploy: done in an integration or release environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.
• clean: cleans up artifacts created by prior builds
• site: generates site documentation for this project

For Eclipse: you can execute Maven commands over the project in Eclipse right-clicking on the pom.xml file in the parent project or in the module you want to command. Select Run As and choose the desired command.
To generate the reports you want you should add the report plug-ins you need into the reporting section at the end of the pom.xml file.
The automatic generated reports are:

• CPD Report: Duplicate code detection.
• Checkstyle: Report on coding style conventions.
• FindBugs Report: Generates a source code report with the FindBugs Library.
• JavaDocs: JavaDoc API documentation.
• Maven Surefire Report: Report on the test results of the project.
• PMD Report: Verification of coding rules.
• Source Xref: HTML based, cross-reference version of Java source code.

Here is documentation for these plug-ins: ​http://shale.apache.org/shale-apps/shale-mailreader/maven-reports.html
There is also Maven Project Info Reports plug-in which should be integrated.
