Phoebus is a framework and a collections of tools to monitor and operate large scale control systems, such as the ones in the accelerator community. Phoebus is an update of the Control System Studio toolset that removes dependencies on Eclipse RCP and SWT.

More information: https://control-system-studio.readthedocs.io

• JDK11 or later, suggested is OpenJDK.
• maven 2.x or ant

All external dependencies are expected in dependencies/target/lib. They could be obtained by expanding a zip-ed phoebus target from an existing build setup, or via one initial maven run:

mvn clean verify -f dependencies/pom.xml

To build and run the phoebus product

mvn clean install
cd phoebus-product
mvn exec:java

To build the entire phoebus stack

mvn clean install

Some unit tests may be sensitive to localization and fail when executed in a previously untested locale. Set the environment variable LANG to en_US.UTF-8 to execute tests in a specific locale, or build with mvn -DskipTests ... to skip tests.

To run with maven

cd phoebus-product
mvn exec:java

To run the product jar

cd phoebus-product/target
java -jar product-*-SNAPSHOT.jar

ant clean run

Download Eclipse Oxygen 4.7.1a or later from https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/

Start Eclipse like this:

export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/your/jdk-9-or-later
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
eclipse/eclipse -consoleLog

Check Eclipse Preferences:

• Java, Installed JREs: JDK 9-or-later should be the default
• Java, Compiler: JDK Compliance should be "9" or higher

Use File, Import, General, Existing Projects into Workspace. Select the phoebus root directory, and check the option to "Search for nested projects".

By default, all projects should be selected ('dependencies', 'core-framework', .., 'product').

The file dependencies/phoebus-target/.classpath needs to be edited to list all the phoebus-target/target/lib/javafx*.jar files.

In the Package Explorer, select the product project. Invoke Run, Run Configurations... from the menu. In the launch configuration dialog, select Java Application and press New Configuration. Note that the project should be pre-set to product, and the Dependencies tab should list all the project dependencies of the product, i.e. all the core-* and app-* projects. For a Main class, enter org.phoebus.product.Launcher, press Apply and then Run.

In Help/Eclipse Marketplace, search for Maven Integration for Eclipse Luna or newer

Use File/Import/Maven/Existing Maven Projects to import the phoebus source code.

There can be a compiler error because the "JRE System Library" in the Package Explorer shows "[J2SE-1.4]". Right click on the affected projects (greeting-app, probe), Build Path, Configure Build Path, Libraries, Edit the JRE System Library to use the Workspace default (jdk-9). Restart Eclipse IDE.

Can now start product/src/main/java/org.phoebus.product/Launcher.java.

First, download the target platform as described above.

To import the project:

• Start Intellij
• Import Project
• Select the Phoebus directory
• Import project from external model: Maven
• Accept the default options and click Next twice
• Ensure that the JDK is version 9 or above
• Change the project name to Phoebus and click finish

To run the Phoebus application:

• Run | Edit Configurations...
• Select + | Application
• Search for main class and type Launcher
• Use classpath of module: select product
• Set the name to Phoebus
• Click OK
• In the top right of the IDE, click the green play button

First download NetBeans 9, then the target platform as described above. After running NetBeans, select Tools ➜ Java Platforms and make sure that a Java 9 or 10 platform is set as the default one.

To open the Maven project Select the File ➜ Open Project… and select the phoebus root project folder.

On the Projects view right-click on the phoebus (parent) node and select the Clean and Build menu item. To build without the unit test, right-click the phoebus (parent) node and select Run Maven ➜ Skip Tests.

To run the Phoebus application:

• Open the phoebus (parent) project and the Modules node, then double-click on the product module;
• Now right-click on the opened product project and select Run;
• A dialog will open to select the main class to be run. Verify that org.phoebus.product.Launcher is selected and press the Select Main Class button to start the application.
• You can also select Remember Permanently to allow NetBeans remembering the chosen class.
• Right-clicking the product project it is also possible to select Set as Main Project. In this way the Phoebus application can be started just pressing the F6 key, the Run Main Project toolbar button, or the Run ➜ Run Main Project menu item.

# Obtain sources
git clone https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus.git

# Build the Javadoc, i.e. html files to be included in the manual
( cd phoebus/app/display/editor; ant -f javadoc.xml clean all )

# Building the manual will locate and include
# all ../phoebus/**/doc/index.rst and ../phoebus/**/doc/html
( cd phoebus/docs; make clean html )
# Windows: Use make.bat html

# Build Product

# Fetch dependencies
( cd phoebus; mvn clean verify -f dependencies/pom.xml )

# Create settings.ini for the product with current date
# and URL of your update site.
# Update site contains '$(arch)' which client will replace with
# its host OS (linux, mac, win).
# Note that this example replaces an existing product/settings.ini.
# If your product already contains settings.ini,
# consider using '>>' to append instead of replacing.
URL='https://controlssoftware.sns.ornl.gov/css_phoebus/nightly/phoebus-$(arch).zip'
( cd phoebus;
  app/update/mk_update_settings.sh $URL > phoebus-product/settings.ini
)

# Build product & bundle for distribution, including the documentation
( cd phoebus; ant clean dist )

# The files phoebus/phoebus-product/target/*.zip and
# services/*/target/*.zip can now be distributed,
# unzipped, launched

Note that the phoebus-product is platform dependent, you get a phoebus-0.0.1-linux.zip, phoebus-0.0.1-mac.zip or phoebus-0.0.1-win.zip depending on the build platform.

The dependencies include the platform-dependent JavaFX library with different content for linux, mac and windows. When building as described above, the result will be an executable for the build platform. To build for a different platform, create the dependencies in one of these ways:

# Either create the build platform for Linux..
( cd phoebus; mvn clean verify  -Djavafx.platform=linux  -f dependencies/pom.xml )

# or Mac OS X ..
( cd phoebus; mvn clean verify  -Djavafx.platform=mac    -f dependencies/pom.xml )

# or Windows:
( cd phoebus; mvn clean verify  -Djavafx.platform=win    -f dependencies/pom.xml )

The remaining build is the same, for example ant clean dist to build the distribution.

There is a release profile which helps prepare and deploy the a phoebus release.

mvn -P release release:prepare

• Check that there are no uncommitted changes in the sources
• Check that there are no SNAPSHOT dependencies
• Change the version in the POMs from x-SNAPSHOT to a new version (you will be prompted for the versions to use)
• Transform the SCM information in the POM to include the final destination of the tag
• Run the project tests against the modified POMs to confirm everything is in working order
• Commit the modified POMs
• Tag the code in the SCM with a version name (this will be prompted for)
• Bump the version in the POMs to a new value y-SNAPSHOT (these values will also be prompted for)
• Commit the modified POMs

Additionally:

• Before commiting the changes, there is a script in the target platform release_classpath.py which will be executed. This script can be modified to updated the .classpath and other files which need manual intervention during a release.
