Brooklyn is a large project with a lot of dependencies. I wanted to compile it, but I also wanted to remove all traces of the project when I was done experimenting. I used Docker to accomplish this goal.

See the files below at https://github.com/medined/docker-brooklyn.

First, I created a Dockerfile to load java, maven, and clone the repository.

$ cat Dockerfile
FROM ubuntu:14.04

# Install Java

RUN apt-get update && \
  apt-get install -y software-properties-common && \
  add-apt-repository -y ppa:webupd8team/java && \
  echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo debconf-set-selections && \
  echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 seen true | sudo debconf-set-selections && \
  apt-get update && \
  apt-get install -y oracle-java8-installer

ENV JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

#
# Install Maven
#
RUN echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/natecarlson/maven3/ubuntu precise main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list && \
  echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/natecarlson/maven3/ubuntu precise main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list && \
  apt-get update && \
  apt-get -y --force-yes install maven3 && \
  rm -f /usr/bin/mvn && \
  ln -s /usr/share/maven3/bin/mvn /usr/bin/mvn

RUN mkdir -p /root/.m2

ADD settings.xml /root/.m2/settings.xml

#
# Clone the brooklyn project
#
RUN apt-get install -y git
RUN git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-brooklyn.git

WORKDIR /incubator-brooklyn

RUN apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*

There is one twist - that settings.xml file. It's used to connect to a Docker-based Artifactory image later.

Then I created a script to build the image.

$ cat build_image.sh
#!/bin/bash
sudo DOCKER_HOST=$DOCKER_HOST docker build --no-cache --rm=true -t medined/brooklyn.build .

Also a script to run the image.

$ cat run_image.sh
#!/bin/bash

#####
# Make sure that Artifactory is running.
#
ARTIFACTORY_COUNT=$(docker ps --filter=status=running | grep artifactory | wc -l)
if [ "${ARTIFACTORY_COUNT}" != "1" ]
then
  echo "Starting Artifactory"
  docker run --name "artifactorydata" -v /opt/artifactory/data -v /opt/artifactory/logs tianon/true
  docker run -d -p 8081:8081 --name "artifactory" --volumes-from artifactorydata  codingtony/artifactory
fi

IMAGEID=$(docker ps -a |grep "brooklyn.build" | awk '{print $1}')
if [ "$IMAGEID" != "" ]
then
  echo "Stopping $IMAGEID"
  IMAGEID=$(sudo DOCKER_HOST=$DOCKER_HOST docker stop $IMAGEID | xargs docker rm)
fi

sudo DOCKER_HOST=$DOCKER_HOST \
  docker run \
    --link artifactory:artifactory \
    -i \
    -t medined/brooklyn.build \
    /bin/bash

In the run script, an Artifactory image is started if one isn't running. Artifactory lets you compile Brooklyn over and over with needing to download the dependencies more than once.
