Infusion Build Scripts

These are rough notes about the build scripts intended to provide developers with starting points for working with the build scripts.

There are several top level targets in the infusion build scripts. This table describes the targets and what products to expect from each build.

Target	Description	Products
releaseBuilds	Builds and packages minified and source release bundles of Infusion	infusion-v-src.zip, infusion-v.zip
customBuild	Builds a custom package of Infusion containing the modules specified as command line arguments	infusion-v.zip
dailyBuild	Builds a WAR of Infusion containing unminified code, tests and demos	fluid-components-v.war
infusionAllBuilds	Builds and packages minified and source release bundles of Infusion which use InfusionAll.js instead of individual javascript files	infusion-v-src.zip, infusion-v.zip
pretreatMinify	Minifies source code in preparation for future builds that will be done from pretreated source.	minified code in build/pretreated
builderBuild	Builds a custom package of Infusion from pretreated source containing the modules specified	infusion-v.zip

The command line arguments for the customBuild and builderBuild targets are:

Argument Name	Description	Example
include	a comma separated list of modules to include in the build	`-Dinclude="uiOptions, inlineEdit"`
exclude	a comma separated list of modules to exclude from the build	`-Dexclude="jQuery"`
jsfilename	the name of the concatenated javascript file that will be created	`-Djsfilename="MyInfusion.js"`
noMinify	`true` if the resulting build should not be minified	`-DnoMinify="true"`

Infusion packages are built using ant scripts that are located here: https://github.com/fluid-project/infusion/tree/master/build-scripts

The build process has four stages it goes through: Pretreat, Assemble, Package and Post-treat. Depending on the type of build that is happening, some stages may be omitted. There are also four buckets from with code is fetched or placed in: Source, Pretreated, Assembled, Products. See the attached diagram for an overview of the flow of a build.
