CloudStack 4.1 has been released, but I see two "versions" of instructions in setting up the oss development environment.
(1) From the official website: http://cloudstack.apache.org/develop/environment.html # Compile $ mvn -P developer clean install # Deploy both the management server and the database $ mvn -P developer -pl developer,tools/devcloud -Ddeploydb # Deploy the database again (??, devcloud involved?) $ mvn -P developer -pl tools/devcloud -Ddeploysvr # Start the Jetty server $ mvn -pl :cloud-client-ui jetty:run (2) From INSTALL.md in the source code: # Compile $ mvn clean install -P systemvm,developer # Deploy both the management server and the database $ mvn -P developer -pl developer -Ddeploydb # Export this if using remote debugging $ export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=500m -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n" # Start the Jetty server $ mvn -pl :cloud-client-ui jetty:run I'm using a physical host for XCP/XenServer, not devcloud, with CloudStack + MySQL running on a separate CentOS VM. I previously used version (2) to compile git 4.1 branch, but I used "-DskipTests=true" in the compile step to save time. Is this the right way? What does the "-P systemvm" actually mean in the command? Thanks in advance. - Ryan Lei
