Follow the steps on the Set up a Development Machine page, in particular, the "Build and Run LabKey" section and the table of key ant targets. Once you have built the entire server via "ant build", you can build just the core module by invoking the "ant core" target. You could also try HotSwapping Java classes, if you expect to perform many develop-build-test iterations.

I follow the instructions above to use compile with ant build(standard.xml).I used the source package is Labkey16.1-42836.12-src.how can I see the newly generated target file? Which directory?

Thanks!

If the build succeeded, the newly built core.module file will be under the ./build/deploy/modules directory.

Thanks, Josh

I didn't find the./build/deploy/modules directory. My IDE is IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2016.1. Help me!

Thanks

You need to use ./server/build.xml when running "ant build", as described here:

How to build C: LabKey16.1-42836.12-src build modules core classes into core.jar? how to write contents of manifest.txt?

Thanks

Hello,

Did you follow the guide that Adam mentioned earlier?

https://www.labkey.org/home/Documentation/wiki-page.view?name=build

Although you're using the actual SRC package rather than using SVN to pull the source code from hedgehog.fhcrc.org, the work in the end is the same. The core.jar would get automatically created upon compiling and automatically create that core.jar into the ./build/deploy/modules/core/lib/ directory.

I found my ./build/deploy/modules is empty. The ./Build/modules/core/classesy have compiling generated files.

Thanks

Thanks for letting us know. We'll consider this closed.

Feel free to create a new support forum question if you have any new questions.

I want the actual SRC package to rebuild, similar to generate your community-bin package, but was never able to achieve needs your help.

Thanks
