Standard Project Layout
gCube projects for software components are primarily developed with the Java language using Maven as build automation tool. The layout of a project mostly reflects the common conventions used for Maven with some variations.
- project folder/
|-pom.xml
|-src/
|-main/
|-java/
|-webapp/
|-resources/
|-test/
|-java/
|-resources/
|-gcube/
|-extra-resources
|-WEB-INF/
|-META-INF/
|-CHANGELOG.md
|-LICENSE.md
|-README.md
|-FUNDING.md
Project Layout Explained
| File or Directory | Role |
|---|---|
| pom.xml | an XML file that contains information about the project and configuration details used by Maven to build the project. |
| src/main/java/ | application source code |
| src/main/webapp/ | web application source code |
| src/main/resources/ | resources packaged at root level in the output jar/war |
| src/test/java/ | source code for tests |
| src/test/resources/ | resources available on the test classpath |
| gcube/extra-resources/WEB-INF/ | additional resources to add to the WEB-INF dir in the output jar/war. These resources are filtered(*) |
| gcube/extra-resources/META-INF/ | additional resources to add to the META-INF dir in the output jar/war. These resources are filtered(*) |
| CHANGELOG.md | a curated, chronologically ordered list of notable changes for each version of a project |
| LICENSE.md | project's license |
| README.md | a quick and simple way for other users to learn more about the project and how to use it |
| FUNDING.md | sponsors and funding options for the project |
(*) For an explanation of filtering see https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/filter.html.
Note: if the project is composed by multiple maven modules, the layout above is repeated for each module, because the module is an independent distributed unit of software.
File Templates
File MANIFEST.MF
A manifest file is automatically created and added to the META-INF folder of the output jar/war.
This example shows an instance of the content for the manifest:
