Building LARS

Make sure you have the following prerequisites installed: (older or newer versions may work but this is what we've tested with)

gradle v2.0
mongoDB v2.6
WAS Liberty Profile 8.5.5.6.
- Your Liberty runtime must contain the following features several features, which can be installed using installUtility as follows: bin/installUtility install cdi-1.0 servlet-3.0 mongodb-2.0 jaxrs-1.1
Liberty MongoDB Integration 2.0 Feature
A Java 7 JDK

Either clone the repository or download and extract a snapshot

Rename server/gradle.properties.template to server/gradle.properties and edit to point to your mongodb and liberty installation directories.

Have a look at test-utils/src/main/resources/config.properties and check that you are happy with the specified test ports

Launch gradle to build the code, run the tests and produce the distribution archives.

gradle build dist

You should now have three files in the build/distributions directory, larsServer.zip, larsClient.zip and larsServerPackage.jar.
