[Building Sakai] Using modules independently

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Ravi,

You can run an extremely lightweight installation of Sakai with ease. The easiest thing to do is to do a full build and deploy of Sakai, delete everything you don't need and then resolve dependencies (ie add a few extra projects back into the build), startup again and see how you go. There are other, more complex ways to do this using some mavencraft.

You should not need to deploy any wars that you don't need, however what you will need to look out for are the artefacts that are deployed into tomcat/components and shared/lib.

We run a very minimal install of Sakai, source code here:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn//msub/anu.edu.au/services/2.8.x/

We've some custom pom magic happening so use this as a guide only.

This has all of the admin tools but only a couple of user tools (site stats, site info, resources, I think that is it).

cheers,
Steve

For example, I am interested in working on Calendar module, is there any way, I can do away with deploying certain wars and use only those which are necessary to run the Calendar module?
