Hi Rohit,

thanks for your email!
that is exactly what I need!
I just want to make sure that I understood what you wrote:
Once I deploy the project, I need to run it with:

mvn -pl client jetty:run

After I did a change, I need to "stop it" maybe? and then run it again with:

mvn clean install -pl ui/plugins/testPlugin/testPlugin.js, client

The clean install command is for building cloudstack, the jetty one is
for running the mgmt server. A typical development cycle looks like this;

1. You make changes for the first time, build the entire codebase once:
mvn clean install -P developer,systemvm (add a -D noredist if you're
working on non-oss components or -Dsimulator if you want to run
simulator too)

2. You run mgmt server:

mvn -pl client jetty:run

3. Now, you make minor/major changes to say a plugin or few components,
you need to stop jetty either by Ctrl+C (break the process or 2) or by;
mvn -pl client jetty:stop

4. Next, you need to rebuilt so as to test those changes;

mvn clean install -pl <path to plugin1>,<comma separated paths to other
components>,client

5. Run jetty again

Refer:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/How+to+build+CloudStack

In case of UI, as Gabor mentioned you may edit directly edit the UI from
client/target/generated-webapp or use something like Chrome
source/inspector to make changes and test it. That's another way to
cheat without building.


or

mvn clean install -pl ui/plugins/testPlugin, client

I tried both ways and I get the following error:

[ERROR] Could not find the selected project in the reactor: ui/plugins ->
[Help 1]

Thanks again!

Hi!

I would like to ask how to setup a proper development environment in
Cloudstack. Until now I have been able only to download CS from git
cloudstack and deploy it with maven. Once I run jetty:run, I can see CS in
the browser. I even can do this with eclipse.


https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/
Setting+up+CloudStack+Development+Environment

  The thing is that I want to create a plugin in Cloudstack. There are many
tutorials on how to do that but the thing is that every time I create
something, I need to re-deploy everything again and it takes at least 5
minutes to run the maven commands and see the changes.

Is there any way to develop the plugins or to do changes in the code "on
the fly"? so I can type something and press F5 in my browser and see the
changes immediately? What is the right project that I have to download to
do this?


If you make change to your plugin or any other component you don't have
to build the entire codebase since that takes a lot of time. Instead do
this;

mvn clean install -pl <path to your plugin>, client

this will only build the plugin and rebuilt client which is where all
plugins and dependencies get compiled in a war file (the mgmt server).
