SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires docker, psql, sqlplus, git, maven, wget, java, eclipse.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the provisioning of a complete iDempiere development environment by orchestrating setup.sh to install Eclipse, clone the repository, run Maven builds, and configure the database.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full environment setup: clones the iDempiere repository, runs a Maven build, and configures the Eclipse workspace.
  • Optional Docker integration: can spin up a PostgreSQL container for local DB and configure database settings.
  • Branch and repository control: supports specifying a Git branch and repository URL for source checkout.
  • Quick-start scenarios: reduces setup time for new developers or CI environments by applying standard configuration and provisioning.

Quick Start

Use the setup.sh script to perform a full environment setup: for example ./setup.sh --docker-postgres-create --db-admin-pass <password> --branch release-11 --repository-url https://github.com/idempiere/idempiere.git

Can I use Docker to configure a PostgreSQL database for iDempiere development?▼

Yes, Docker can spin up a PostgreSQL container for your iDempiere development environment. The setup workflow supports automatic database creation and configuration, applying standard database settings for local development.

What prerequisites do I need for iDempiere environment provisioning?▼

Prerequisites for iDempiere environment provisioning include Docker, Java, Maven, Git, and the Eclipse IDE. The setup workflow bundles these required tools to ensure a repeatable development configuration process.

How do I specify a custom Git branch when cloning the iDempiere repository?▼

You can specify a custom Git branch and repository URL during the iDempiere setup by passing command-line arguments. This allows source checkout control for different iDempiere versions or forks.

What is the best way to reduce iDempiere setup time for CI pipelines?▼

The best way to reduce iDempiere setup time for CI pipelines is using an automated setup script. It applies standard configuration, clones the repository, and runs Maven builds to provision a complete environment quickly.

Does the iDempiere setup workflow configure the Eclipse workspace automatically?▼

Yes, the iDempiere setup workflow automatically configures the Eclipse workspace after cloning the repository and running Maven builds. This ensures the IDE is ready for immediate development.
