Motivation:
exec-maven-plugin does not flush stdout and stderr, making the console
output from the examples invisible to users
Modification:
Use maven-antrun-plugin instead
Result:
A user sees the output from the examples immediately.
Motivation:
Mac OS X ships Bash 3, and it does not have an associative array
(declare -A).
Modifications:
Do not use an associative array.
Result:
Can run examples on Mac OS X using run-example.sh
Motivation:
- There's no way to pass an argument to an example.
- Assigning a Maven profile for each example is an overkill.
It makes the pom.xml crowded.
Modifications:
- Remove example profiles from example/pom.xml
- Keep the list of examples in run-example.sh
- run-example.sh passes all options to exec-maven-plugin.
For example, we can now do this:
./run-example.sh -Dssl -Dport=443 http-server
Result:
- It's much easier to add a new example and provide an easy way to
launch it.
- We can still pass an arbitrary argument to the example being launched.
(I'll update all examples to make them get their options from system
properties rather than from args[].
Motivation:
- example/pom.xml has quite a bit of duplication.
- We expect that we depend on npn-boot in more than one module in the
near future. (e.g. handler, codec-http, and codec-http2)
Modification:
- Deduplicate the profiles in example/pom.xml
- Move the build configuration related with npn-boot to the parent pom.
- Add run-example.sh that helps a user launch an example easily
Result:
- Cleaner build files
- Easier to add a new example
- Easier to launch an example
- Easier to run the tests that relies on npn-boot in the future
