NES Struts 2.5.33 Trial

This repository provides a trial setup for the Never-Ending Support (NES) version of Struts 2.5.33. The example apps are from OSS struts 2.5.33 example apps and have been updated to use NES trial products. This project contains both maven and gradle examples. It demonstrates how to use NES as a drop in replacement.

Getting Started - Trial Setup & Build Instructions

1. Configure your local environment to use the HeroDevs NES registry.
   1. ~/.m2/settings.xml

   <settings>
     <servers>
       <!-- Other server settings -->
       <server>
         <id>herodevs-nes-registry</id>
         <username>some@email.com</username>
         <password>some@email.com</password>
       </server>
     </servers>
   </settings>

   2. ~/.gradle/gradle.properties

   herodevs_nes_registry_url=https://registry.nes.herodevs.com/maven
   herodevs_nes_registry_user=some@email.com
   herodevs_nes_registry_token=some@email.com

2. Build the project. Gradle requires java 11 and maven requires java 8.
   1. Navigate to the build directory. cd maven or cd gradle.
   2. For Maven: Run ./mvnw clean install.
   3. For Gradle: Run ./gradlew clean build.

Verification

For Gradle run ./gradlew dependencies and look for struts2-2.5.35-trial in the output. Example output:

+--- org.apache.struts:struts2-config-browser-plugin:2.5.33-struts2-2.5.35-trial
|    \--- org.apache.struts:struts2-core:2.5.33-struts2-2.5.35-trial (*)
