- a third-party attribution document that lists all dependencies with their licenses,
- a sources.zip containing all sources of the dependencies, and
- a processing report.

The Antenna project consists of a core and multiple modules in ./modules, which encapsulate related functionality.
Some of these folders contain their own README.md, like e.g. ./modules/sw360/README.md which contain module specific information.
Please note that some dependencies of SW360antenna are only available for Java 8. So you need to use Java 8 to build the project.
If you want to build Antenna on the command line, just use Maven like
$ mvn install
By default, this will run tests. If you want to skip running tests use
$ mvn install -DskipTests
The build is stable starting with Maven version 3.5.x or higher, which was
when the usage of the revision property was introduced.
With a lower version you will get errors when trying to resolve dependencies created in the Antenna build,
since the version is not correctly parsed. A possible error message would look like this:
Failed to process POM for org.eclipse.sw360.antenna:model:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT:
Non-resolvable parent POM for org.eclipse.sw360.antenna:model:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT:
Could not find artifact org.eclipse.sw360.antenna:antenna-management:pom:${revision}
in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/) and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM
[ERROR] org.eclipse.sw360.antenna:model:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
You can activate the following optional profiles:
-P integration-test: activates also the optional profile for integration testing in the sw360 module (see also./modules/sw360/README.md)-P site-tests: which activates the site tests in./documentation/
Antenna can be used as a Maven plugin, with Gradle or standalone executable.
As a maven plugin, Antenna's behaviour is configured by adding a <plugin> to your project's pom.xml file and adding settings to the <configuration> section.
Similarly, in Gradle, the same Maven files must be given and the build.gradle file needs to include the Antenna configuration.
As a standalone executable, Antenna is configured as an executable jar in the command line.
Find out how to configure Antenna by reading: How to configure Antenna.
Antenna can be used with Java versions 9 or newer. However, it requires some additional configuration described in Tool Configuration.
