This is the Reference Implementation (RI) User's Guide
for the 1.1 maintenance release of the JSR-147 Workspace Versioning and Configuration Management (WVCM) API .
The Java source code has already been compiled and the resulting class files archived
into a "wvcm_ri.jar" file.
Javadoc documentation has been generated for it,
located at "dist/docs"; this page you are now reading is the Overview document
for that generated Javadoc.
This project depends on the javax.wvcm
project.
For details on how to load the project into Eclipse and/or recompile the
sources and the Javadoc, read below.
Setup
Since this project depends on the javax.wvcm
project, setup that
project first; the instructions to do so are located inside of that project
in the Setup section of its overview page. The setup for that project will
do most of what's necessary to get this RI project set up.
Once you have set up and compiled the jsr147
project, either
with Eclipse or with Ant (or with both), repeat the steps you did for jsr147
but with the following differences:
- Extract the com.ibm.rational.wvcm.ri distribution zip file so that its root directory is
beside the "javax.wvcm" root directory.
- Import this com.ibm.rational.wvcm.ri project into Eclipse. You'll
notice that this project has an Eclipse project dependency with the "javax.wvcm"
project.
- The generated Javadoc will be created with relative links into the javax.wvcm
project's javadocs. So, positioning of the Eclipse projects matters for
these links to function.
What Next?
You may use the RI to see how it functions as a WVCM implementation. Review
its sources, and use them as a guide for functionality to write for your own WVCM
implementation. Load the com.ibm.rational.wvcm.tck project and invoke the TCK against the RI.
