• Java SDK Version >= v8

• ANT_OPTS defined in System environment variables (OPTIONAL), e.g. -Xmx512m -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8.
• HYB_BIN_DIR defined and appointed to your local Hybris bin package by the following orders:
  • passed in by CLI.
  • defined in System environment variables.
  • defined in .env (ignored by .gitignore).

git clone https://github.com/jimzhan/hybris.git && cd hybris
ant bootstrap

bootstrap will first try load .env from ${basedir} to provide additional settings supports, then pre-defined Hybris packages will be copied into bin folder. Two settings profiles will be generated under config folder afterward:

• config/develop - settings profile for development (default), generated via Hybris develop template.
• config/testing - settings profile for online testing, generated via Hybris production template.

NOTE you generate new settings profile using following command:

ant createConfig -DHYBRIS_CONFIG_DIR=`pwd`/config/<profile> -Dinput.template=<develop or production>

• startHybrisServer - starts Hybris server at the foreground (default) or background (via -Dmode=start, synonym to tomcat arguments).
• stopHybrisServer - stops Hybris server at the background (if any).

• bootstrap - create a new instance with multi settings profiles supports (develop/develop, testing/production).
• purge - delete all generated data files and folders (data, log, roles, temp and velocity.log).

• simple, elegant and performant ❤️
• first class integration with Hybris OOTB automations.
• fast and stable, especially comparing to Gradle 💩.

NOTE Hybris OOTB ant tasks remain the same.

• editor/IDE/GIT settings.
• Hybris OOTB ant tasks integrations.
• Multi settings profiles supports.
• daemon server supports.
• create new settings profile.
• checkstyle integration (pre-build).
• running server detections.
