WSO2-APIM - Build from source (v1.9.1)

I like to customize to login and the admin console page of the WSO2-APIManager (v 1.9.1), APIM. I would also like to make/build the APIM into a microservice using a fat-jar, since I need to build from source.

This are my questions:

  1. Since I like to build the APIM from source. The documentation (http://docs.wso2.com/display/AM191/Building+from+Source) say that you have to download the "WSO2 Carbon Kernel" but how to I download the correct kernel version (http://wso2.com/products/carbon/release-matrix/) with git? There is no branch nor tag with kernel version 4.2.0.
  2. What's the purpose of downloading the kernel? Do I need the kernel to modify the login&admin pages?
  3. Do I need to compile, build and install the carbon kernel in my local maven repo before building the APIM?

  4. Cloning the repo (https ://github.com/wso2/product-apim) and trying to build (without building the kernel first) results in an error:

You might be checkout the master branch. That should be why you have snapshots. – Thusitha Thilina Dayaratne

You don't need to download the carbon-kernel just to build the API Manager. Carbon-Kernel is the core module/platform for all of the WSO2 products.

Please follow the steps to build the API Manager from source code.

  1. carbon-apimgt repo has all the components related to API Manager which are reused by other WSO2 products. You have to checkout carbon-apimgt-v1.9.1 tag for API Manager 1.9.1

  2. Build this component repo using mvn clean install

  3. product-apim repo has the neccessary artifacts for the API Manager product. For API Manager 1.9.1, you have to checkout v1.9.1 tag

  4. Build the repo using mvn clean install
