Susan,
The way to do it without altering the code in place requires
creating a custom maven project within the dspace/modules/
directory, wiring it into the dspace/pom.xml and dspace/modules/
pom.xml so that it compiles into the build process.
At this point, I'm seeing community member using both approaches,
and I'm unsure which I would most recommend. But here's what I try
to approach as a best practice.
1.) I don't like to alter code in place in dspace-api, dspace-xmlui
or any of those projects unless I intend to contribute it into the
next release of DSpace 1.5.x
2.) Keeping all those projects around lengthens the build process
and if your not using all of them (dspace-sword, lni, etc) thats a
lot of compile time for nothing.
3.) Once configured properly, your changes in dspace/modules/xxx
will always be separate from the rest of the codebase, but you will
still need to verify that upgrades don't break your customizations
by comparing your code to the original. Something we continue to
strive to get away from.
So I would recommend the following steps:
a.) create a dspace/modules/custom-api/pom.xml for your api changes.
That looks something like the attached pom.xml
