When a working context is created, a number of directories are created on your local harddisk. The following default structure is available:
| Directory | Explanation |
|---|---|
${user.home}/.karma | |
${user.home}/karma/.repository |
This directory acts as the root directory for a local jar
repository. The contents of the repository is modelled much like Maven does. Everyone familiar with
Maven should know what that means. If you're not familiar with Maven :
jar libraries are stored as
<groupId>/jars/<artifactId>-<version>.jar.
For now, one example will do : log4j-1.2.8.jar is stored
in the repository as log4j/jars/log4j-1.2.8.jar and it
generally referred to as a dependency on `log4j-1.2.8`.
|
${user.home}/.karma/working-contexts | Each working context has its own configuration directory. They are all stored under this one. |
${user.home}/.karma/working-contexts/<working-context> |
Each working context has its own configuration directory. Right now,
the only file that is stored here is working-context.xml,
which contains the configuration for the working context.
|
Depending on the value of the ${project.basedir} property
in the working context configuration file, the following directories are
also created (in some cases only when they are required).
${project.basedir}/.admin | The base directory for administrative data for the working context. |
${project.basedir}/.admin/manifest-store |
Directory where the manifest store is located. A directory will be
created (${manifest-store.module}) when the manifest
store is checked out by Karma.
|
${project.basedir}/.admin/location-store |
Directory where the location store is located. A directory will be
created (${location-store.module}) when the location
store is checked out by Karma.
|
When a manifest is updated locally (i.e. through the
update-all-modules command - see the commands section -), a directory
structure is created such as
${project.basedir}/<manifest-name>.
Example : when manifest oracle-10g-dev is updated in working
context product-dev, the following directory will be created:
${project.basedir}/oracle-10g-dev
All of a manifests' modules are checked out in
${project.basedir}/<manifest-name>/modules.
