3 RocksDB can be built as a single self contained cross-platform JAR. The cross-platform jar can be usd on any 64-bit OSX system, 32-bit Linux system, or 64-bit Linux system.
5 Building a cross-platform JAR requires:
7 * [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/)
8 * [Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
9 * A Mac OSX machine that can compile RocksDB.
10 * Java 7 set as JAVA_HOME.
12 Once you have these items, run this make command from RocksDB's root source directory:
14 make jclean clean rocksdbjavastaticrelease
16 This command will build RocksDB natively on OSX, and will then spin up two Vagrant Virtualbox Ubuntu images to build RocksDB for both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux.
18 You can find all native binaries and JARs in the java/target directory upon completion:
20 librocksdbjni-linux32.so
21 librocksdbjni-linux64.so
22 librocksdbjni-osx.jnilib
23 rocksdbjni-3.5.0-javadoc.jar
24 rocksdbjni-3.5.0-linux32.jar
25 rocksdbjni-3.5.0-linux64.jar
26 rocksdbjni-3.5.0-osx.jar
27 rocksdbjni-3.5.0-sources.jar
32 Set ~/.m2/settings.xml to contain:
34 <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
37 <id>sonatype-nexus-staging</id>
38 <username>your-sonatype-jira-username</username>
39 <password>your-sonatype-jira-password</password>
44 From RocksDB's root directory, first build the Java static JARs:
46 make jclean clean rocksdbjavastaticpublish
48 This command will [stage the JAR artifacts on the Sonatype staging repository](http://central.sonatype.org/pages/manual-staging-bundle-creation-and-deployment.html). To release the staged artifacts.
50 1. Go to [https://oss.sonatype.org/#stagingRepositories](https://oss.sonatype.org/#stagingRepositories) and search for "rocksdb" in the upper right hand search box.
51 2. Select the rocksdb staging repository, and inspect its contents.
52 3. If all is well, follow [these steps](https://oss.sonatype.org/#stagingRepositories) to close the repository and release it.
54 After the release has occurred, the artifacts will be synced to Maven central within 24-48 hours.
