Building and Packaging

After you have created the Java class and supporting files as described in the preceding sections, you should build and package your provider jar file to be distributed to your Serena Release Manager server.

The compilation and packaging should be compliant with Java 6 and Tomcat 6.x.

  1. Compile your sources. For example, use ant to compile and create a file with a name similar to the following:

    com.serena.rlm.provider.fs.jar

  2. Create a zip file with all the folders and properties files for the new provider. For example:

    provider_fs.zip 

  3. Copy the zip file to the folder structure under the webapps folder. For example:

C:\Program Files\Serena\common   \Tomcat\6.0\webapps\rlm
