Select a VEE Port

Note

This page is releated to the version 5 and lower of the SDK. If you use the SDK 6, please refer to the page Select a VEE Port.

Building or running an Application or a Test Suite with MMM requires a VEE Port.

There are 4 different ways to provide a VEE Port for a module project:

  • Set the build option platform-loader.target.platform.file to the path of a VEE Port file (.zip, .jpf or .vde).

  • Set the build option platform-loader.target.platform.dir to the path of the source folder of an already imported Source VEE Port.

  • Declare a module dependency with the conf platform:

    <dependency org="myorg" name="myname" rev="1.0.0" conf="platform->default" transitive="false"/>

  • Copy a VEE Port file to the dropins folder. The default dropins folder location is [module_project_dir]/dropins. It can be changed using the build option platform-loader.target.platform.dropins.

Note

Using a VEE Port in the .zip format requires at least the version 5.4.0 of the SDK.

At least 1 of these 4 ways is required to build an Application with a VEE Port. If several ways are used, the following rules are applied:

  • If platform-loader.target.platform.file or platform-loader.target.platform.dir is set, the other options are ignored.

  • If the the module project defined several VEE Ports, the build fails. For example the following cases are not allowed:

    • Setting a VEE Port with the option platform-loader.target.platform.file and another one with the option platform-loader.target.platform.dir

    • Declaring a VEE Port as a dependency and adding a platform in the dropins folder

    • Declaring 2 VEE Ports as Dependencies

    • Adding 2 VEE Ports in the dropins folder

Refer to the Platform Loader section for a complete list of options.
