wso2 carbon: how to hack the source and deploy the changes to a carbon server

Question

I have the carbon source tree set up in eclipse - and have made some code changes.

Can I build just one component (e.g. org.wso2.carbon.feature.mgt.ui-4.1.0.jar) using maven / eclipse, and then deploy that to an existing carbon server?

I have tried dropping the built jar in the repository\deployment directory and restarting the server, but the changes don't appear to have been picked up.

Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Place the jars at <CARBON_HOME>/repository/components/plugins. Also delete the relevant existing jars from repository/components/plugins
