How to limit GWT build permutations

To speed up build time, add the following property to your local maven settings.xml file:

<gwt.module.suffix>Debug</gwt.module.suffix>

How to point to the local stack

1. Follow the instructions on the Platform Bootstrap to set up local backend stack. 

2. Build and launch a local backend stack.  From an up-to-date clone of Synapse-Repository-Services on your local box:

   1. Build the local stack by running 'mvn clean install -Dorg.sagebionetworks.database.drop.schema=true'.

   2. Now launch it:
      1. cd integration-test
      2. mvn cargo:run

   3. Verify the services are running correctly by visiting http://localhost:8080/services-repository-develop-SNAPSHOT/repo/v1/version you should see something like this:

      Code Block
      {"version":"develop-SNAPSHOT"}

      
      

3. In the SWC project root pom.xml, change the synapse.version tag to develop-SNAPSHOT (so that the dependency is pointing to the code that's running on your local stack).
4. Set the repository endpoints in your maven settings.xml file by adding the following properties:
