How can I install the Bamboo Spec api Java classes?

Question

I am trying to compile and publish a Bamboo Spec. I exported an existing build plan as a JavaSpec, and copied it to a PlanSpec.java file.

I run: javac PlanSpec.java -verbose

I get error messages like the following:

"PlanSpec.java:1: error: package com.atlassian.bamboo.specs.api does not exist"

It appears that it isn't finding the Bamboo Spec java libraries. Where can I download these libraries?

Thanks.

Hi

As Alexey mentioned, just use the Maven archetype to create a project template as described in the documentation.

Note: You must create Bamboo Specs in the bamboo-specs directory, under the repository root. Also, replace 6.x.x with the corresponding version of your Bamboo.

mvn archetype:generate -B \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=com.atlassian.bamboo -DarchetypeArtifactId=bamboo-specs-archetype \
  -DarchetypeVersion=6.x.x \
  -DgroupId=com.my.company -DartifactId=bamboo-specs \
  -Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackage=com.my.company

Your sample project is created. You can then replace or modify with your generated Specs code.

Hope that helps.

Cheers, Jey

I would suggest you to generate proper Bamboo Specs project following instructions at https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/tutorial-create-a-simple-plan-with-bamboo-java-specs-894743911.html

And then paste content of Java file from browser to generated by archetype
