    New Git Repository

     

    The HornetQ source code is now maintained in a git repository: https://github.com/hornetq

     

    Old SVN Repository

     

    Previously, HornetQ source code was maintained in a subversion (svn) repository at jboss.org.

     

    The subversion repository is structured in the following way:

     

    SVN Repository root

    svn.jboss.org/repos/hornetq

     

    This is the root of the svn repository. Nothing much happens here

     

    SVN Repository trunk

    svn.jboss.org/repos/hornetq/trunk

     

    This is "trunk" - the main development branch. Most new development occurs here for the next release.

     

    If you checkout trunk you'll get access to all the latest work-in-progress features, but please bear in mind that trunk is not stable.

     

    We make no guarantees of stability with trunk.

     

    Branches

     

    All branches (other than trunk) that we use are created from the following url:

    svn.jboss.org/repos/hornetq/branches

     

    Sometimes we have a need to create a new branch that's not trunk.

     

    A typical reason for this would be a developer is working on a large piece of work which may take some significant amount of time to complete.

     

    While the developer is working on it, they can commit their work on a different branch so they don't affect trunk but they know their work is backed up and others can see what progress they are making.

     

    An example branch would be:

    svn.jboss.org/repos/hornetq/branches/Branch_New_Toaster

     

    Tags

     

    We create new tags every time we create a release, and sometimes for other reasons.

     

    Tags are always created from the following url:

     

    svn.jboss.org/repos/hornetq/tags

     

    Tags and branches are really the same thing in svn, they're just a copy of another branch, made using svn copy.

     

    However, we create tags to basically take a snapshot of a branch at a particular revision so all our releases are repeatable.

     

    If you want to check out the source for a particular release that's occurred, you'd just checkout the appropriate tag for the release.

     

    Checkout out source from svn

     

    First, you'd need to make sure you have a svn client installed on your machine.

     

    Or if you're using an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ you can can use SVN from inside the IDE.

     

    If you're not going to make any updates you can checkout the source anonymously. In this case you use a mirror repository at anonsvn.jboss.org which is read only:

     

    svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/hornetq/trunk

     

    If you're going to commit anything, you need to use the main repository and check out with a username, for example:

     

    svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/hornetq/trunk --username joe_bloggs

     

    To check out a particular tag anonymously, for example to check out the (non existent HornetQ 3.0.0 beta4 release)

    svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/hornetq/tags/HornetQ_3_0_0_beta4

     

    To check out a tag with a username:

     

    svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/hornetq/tags/HornetQ_3_0_0_beta4
   --username joe_bloggs

     

    Once you've checked out the source, you can move on to building the project.
