• Meaning of "MicroJIAC"
• Features of MicroJIAC
• Deploying MicroJIAC
• Building SunSPOT-related modules

"Micro" is supposed to mean small, lightweight and is similiar to the meaning in "Java Microedition". "JIAC" is a collective name and stands for "Java-based Intelligent Agent Componentware".

For more information see:

• [http://www.jiac.de]
• [http://www.dai-labor.de]

• low memory footprint
• allows implementation of scalable and device independent agents
• support for several Java environments
• great extensibility
• provides build and deployment utilities

The deployment of MicroJIAC requires specific variables to be available in your settings.xml. This is done by creating a profile and declaring the following properties:

• release-repo-id id of a maven release repository

• release-repo-url and its deployment url

• snapshot-repo-id id of a maven snapshot repository

• snapshot-repo-url and its deployment url

For example, to deploy to the sonatype staging repositories, I specified the following:

	<!-- ... -->
	<profile>
		<id>sonatype</id>
		<properties>
			<release-repo-id>oss-sonatype-staging</release-repo-id>
			<release-repo-url>https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2</release-repo-url>
			<snapshot-repo-id>oss-sonatype-snapshots</snapshot-repo-id>
			<snapshot-repo-url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</snapshot-repo-url>
		</properties>
	</profile>
	<!-- ... -->

Deploying the site require two more variables:

• site-repo-id id of a site repository

• site-repo-url and its deployment url

To build all SunSPOT related modules (like the microjiac-sunspot-extensions) you have to install a recent SunSPOT SDK (red or later) and specify a property in your settings.xml:

• sunspot-sdk-path the path to you SunSPOT SDK

For example, I specified the following:

	<!-- ... -->
	<activeProfiles>
		<activeProfile>global-properties</activeProfile>
	</activeProfiles>
	<profiles>
		<profile>
			<id>global-properties</id>
			<properties>
				<sunspot-sdk-path>/home/marcel/SunSPOT/red</sunspot-sdk-path>
			</properties>
		</profile>
	<!-- ... -->

If specified correctly all SunSPOT related modules will be automatically included into the maven build.
