This sections describes a very quick way to publish your changes to Bluemix. Using Maven applications is very useful here, whereas other build and deploy tools (e.g. Gradle) should work very similar. Please notice, this might not the best approach though ;-)
IBM Bluemix DevOps Services allows managing your application by a GitHub repository.
- Add your application to a GitHub project via button on your application page.
- Copy the URL for the new repository
Next step is adding the Maven project from Eclipse. Sample applications using Maven are available in IBM Box. We need the Bluemix Git repository in Eclipse first.
- Open the 'Git Repositories' view in Eclipse (Window > Show View > other ... > Git > Git Repositories)
- Select 'Clone a Git repository' and insert the copied URL in the URI field. Additional fields should filled in automatically.
- Enter your Bluemix credentials for the 'Authentication' section. You might be asked to enter those later again. Make sure you check storing your credentials, so you do not need to enter them each time.
- Within the 'Git Repositories' view expand the 'Working Tree' and delete all folder and files, except
.gitand.settings. - Select your Project in Eclipse ('Project Explorer' view) and share it with the repository (Right-click > Team > Share Project...).
- Make sure, you are adding a new working directory to the existing repository.
- Commit and Push all changes done so far.
In the 'Build & Deploy' section you are able to stage the build and deploy of your application. If you are building locally and uploading a finished WAR, you can deploy directly. Otherwise, you need to Build your application first.
- Configure the 'Build Stage' and select 'Maven' from the 'Builder Type' drop down.
- Set the Working Directory, which usually is your Project name from Eclipse.
- Set the Build Archive Directory to 'target' and save your changes.
- Once the build is finished, you need to get the name of your WAR file by clicking the 'Last Execution Result'.
- Configure the 'Deploy Stage' by changing the 'Deploy Script':
#!/bin/bash
cf push "${CF_APP}" -p ""
# View logs`
#cf logs "${CF_APP}" --recent- Save the changes and start the stage.
Congratulation, you finished your Build & Deploy!
