Sources

• The freshest source is located at http://svn.magnolia.info/svn/magnolia/trunk/
• Additional modules are available under http://svn.magnolia.info/svn/modules/community/
• The bundle itself is a different project. It basically enhances maven-empty-webapp with the DMS and workflow modules, and bundles 2 copies of the webapp with Tomcat. The sources are at http://svn.magnolia.info/svn/magnolia-bundle/trunk/

To check all modules' trunks from subversion, execute the following in a shell:

svn co -N http://svn.magnolia.info/svn/modules/community
cd community
./checkout.sh

(checkout.sh is a script that simply checks out all known modules. It is paired with newmodule.sh and svnall.sh

It will be generally expected that you understand the basic principles of Maven and other tools you use.

Creating patches

To create patches just run:
svn diff > your-changes.patch

or if you have changed files you want to disregard:
svn diff changed files > your-changes.patch

If you're attaching this to Jira (which is about the only way you'll get your patch applied anyway), a good idea would be to include the issue id in the filename.

Applying patches:

patch -p 0 < this-change.patch

Subversion (SVN)

Magnolia uses Subversion for source code management. It is similar to CVS, but has better support for refactoring and a better revision system.

• Subversion - The core system (server, cli client, libs)
• Subversive - SVN Team Client (Eclipse plugin)
• TortoiseSVN - Handy SVN client for Windows systems
• Subclipse - the "older" Eclipse plugin

Maven

Magnolia is a multi-module project and is built using maven.
