KFS uses Maven for packaging and unit testing.

Properties

Configuration properties have defaulted values which are included in the KFS war and may be overridden at runtime. There are skeleton config files located in kfs/src/main/config to aid in overriding the most common properties. To override:

1. Copy the appropriate skel-config.properties file from kfs/src/main/config to a location external to the project (such as your home directory)
2. Set any values you need to override and comment out or remove the other properties. 
3. Pass the location of your custom properties files to maven or tomcat on the command line via the following property:

-Dadditional.kfs.config.locations property. 

For ease of future upgrades, you should avoid modifying any of the delivered files under the kfs directory. 

Maven Command Overview

To create a deployable KFS war, you can use the mvn package command. To execute the KFS unit tests, you can use the mvn test command.  See the setup instructions and Maven Introduction to the Build Lifecycle documentation for more information.
