Building

FrenchPress uses Gradle to build. To build the deployable archive, execute:

$ gradle assemble
:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes UP-TO-DATE
:war
:assemble

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 7.958 secs

Testing

Unit tests can be run with via the test task, though most of the tests are integration tests, which are run via Arquillian. The currently supported configurations are as follows:

Container	Mode	Task Name	Notes
GlassFish 4	Managed	glassfishManagedTest	Servers is expected to be in glassfish4 in the projects' root directory
	Embedded	glassfishEmbeddedTest
	Remote	glassfishRemoteTest	Build currenly assumes an unsecured server with the default port configuration
JBoss AS 7	Managed	jbossManagedTest

Example

$ gradle --daemon glassfishEmbeddedTest
:compileJava
:processResources
:classes
:compileTestJava
:processTestResources
:testClasses
:glassfishEmbeddedTest

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
