de.bxservice.docstatusvalidator

Document Status Validator iDempiere plug-in.

The goal of the plug-in is to allow the user to create validations on document status changes with SQL conditions. When one of the conditions is fulfilled, an error message is shown to the user explaining what to do to be able to change the document status.

Build

Headless Maven build — no IDE and no local iDempiere checkout required:

mvn verify

Produces target/de.bxservice.docstatusvalidator-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar, an OSGi bundle with the 2Pack dictionary content embedded, ready to deploy or to install through the iDempiere Extension Management form.

Requirements: JDK 17 and Maven 3.9+.

Building against a specific iDempiere version

The build resolves the iDempiere core bundles it requires (org.adempiere.base, org.adempiere.plugin.utils, org.osgi.service.event) from a p2 repository. By default it uses the public iDempiere CI repository, which tracks iDempiere master:

https://jenkins.idempiere.org/job/iDempiere/ws/org.idempiere.p2/target/repository/

To build against a particular release, or offline, point it at a local core build:

mvn verify -Didempiere.core.repository.url=file:///path/to/idempiere/org.idempiere.p2/target/repository

That path is produced by building iDempiere core itself (mvn verify in the iDempiere source tree). Note the default is a Jenkins workspace URL, so it can move — the override is the stable option for reproducible builds.

Versioning

The bundle version lives in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF as 1.0.1.qualifier; Maven replaces qualifier with a build timestamp, giving e.g. 1.0.1.202609111528. The pom.xml version (1.0.1-SNAPSHOT) must stay in sync with the manifest version — Tycho fails the build otherwise.

Any feedback please in the iDempiere forums.
