Building

To build the Oracle Coherence Hibernate Integration project you need to have the following software installed:

1. Java SE Development Kit 6, 7 or 8.

   Available from: Oracle Java SE Downloads

2. Apache Maven Version 3.0.4 (not 3.0.3)

   Available here: Apache Maven Downloads

3. The source code.

Once you have these installed building the entire source tree is as simple as executing the following shell command (from the root of the source directory):

$ mvn clean install

However the fact that the Oracle Coherence Hibernate Integration depends on a commercial product, namely Oracle Coherence which is not available in a public Maven Repository, probably means that your first build is likely to fail because of a missing dependency on coherence.jar.

Should this problem occur you will need to manually install a suitable coherence.jar into your local repository or your organization's repository manager.

With Coherence 12.1.2 and later, there is a Maven plugin for sync'ing jar files in a Coherence installation to your Maven repository, as documented here: http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/coherence/COHDG/gs_install.htm#A7113537.

For Coherence versions older than 12.1.2, to install coherence.jar into your local Apache Maven repository, simply change to the $COHERENCE_HOME/lib directory and run the following command:

$ mvn install:install-file  \
      -DgroupId=com.oracle.coherence  \
      -DartifactId=coherence  \
      -Dversion=3.7.1.9  \
      -Dfile=coherence.jar  \
      -Dpackaging=jar \
      -DgeneratePom=true

The groupId, artifactId and version are critically important. They must be as indicated above otherwise the Oracle Coherence Hibernate Integration project won't build.

Of course the above assumes that you are installing the Coherence 3.7.1.9 jar file. If you want to install a different release, change the version number in the command above accordingly.

Once a coherence.jar is properly installed into your Maven repository by one of the above methods, you should be able to build the Oracle Coherence Hibernate Integration project.
