Building from source
Each module of the Spring Batch Extensions project is hosted as independent project with its own release cycle. For the build process of individual modules we recomend using a Maven build system modelled after the Spring Batch project.
Therefore, the following build instructions should generally apply for most, if not all, Spring Batch Extensions. In the instructions below, mvn is invoked from the root of the source tree and serves as a cross-platform, self-contained bootstrap mechanism for the build. The only prerequisites are Git and JDK 1.6+.
Check out the sources
git clone git://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch-extensions.git
Go into the directory of a specific module
cd spring-batch-extensions
cd module-name
Compile and test, build all jars
mvn clean package
Install the modules jars into your local Maven cache
mvn install
Import sources into your IDE
Using Eclipse / STS
When using Spring Tool Suite you can directly import Maven based projects:
File -> Import -> Maven Project
Alternatively, you can also generate the Eclipse metadata (.classpath and .project files) using Maven:
mvn eclipse:eclipse
Once complete, you may then import the projects into Eclipse as usual:
File -> Import -> Existing projects into workspace
Using IntelliJ IDEA
To generate IDEA metadata (.iml and .ipr files), do the following:
