Updates to the root readme file to include a more

accurate description of the project, the crypto notice
(with some TODOs), and clearer build instructions for the
OSS vs non-OSS build options.

Apache CloudStack (Incubating) Version 4.0.0
# About Apache CloudStack (Incubating)
Apache CloudStack (Incubating) is software designed to deploy
and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly
available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of
service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many
companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering.
Apache CloudStack currently supports the most popular hypervisors:
VMware, Oracle VM, KVM, XenServer and Xen Cloud Platform.
CloudStack also offers bare metal management of servers,
using PXE to provision OS images and IPMI to manage the server.
Apache CloudStack offers three methods for managing cloud
computing environments: an easy to use Web interface, command
line tools, and a full-featured RESTful API.

# Apache CloudStack # Building CloudStack
Apache CloudStack is a massively scalable free/libre open source Infrastructure as a Service cloud platform. By default, CloudStack will only build with supporting packages
that are appropved by the ASF as being compatible with the Apache
Software License Version 2.
Visit us at [cloudstack.org](http://cloudstack.org) or join #cloudstack on irc.freenode.net ## Default build
## Binary Downloads To build the default build target, use maven3 and execute:
Downloads are available from: maven install
http://cloudstack.org/download.html
## Supported Hypervisors ## Including optional third party libraries in your build
* XenServer If you want to build this software against one of the optional
* KVM third party libraries, follow the instructions below:
* VMware ESX/ESXi (via vCenter)
* Oracle VM
* XCP
## Mailing lists These third parties jars are non available in Maven central, and
[Development Mailing List](mailto:cloudstack-dev-subscribe@incubator.apache.org) need to be located and downloaded by the developer themselves.
[Users Mailing list](mailto:cloudstack-users-subscribe@incubator.apache.org) The libraries to download are listed below, by the feature that
[Commits mailing list](mailto:cloudstack-commits-subscribe@incubator.apache.org) they support.
#Maven build For F5 load balancing support:
Some third parties jars are non available in Maven central. cloud-iControl.jar
So install it with: cd deps&&sh ./install-non-oss.sh
Now you are able to activate nonoss build with adding -Dnonoss to maven cli. For Netscaler support:
cloud-netscaler.jar
cloud-netscaler-sdx.jar
For NetApp Storage Support:
cloud-manageontap.jar
For VMware Support:
vmware-vim.jar
vmware-vim25.jar
vmware-apputils.jar
Once downloaded (and named the same as listed above), they can be
installed into your local maven repository with the following command:
cd deps&&sh ./install-non-oss.sh
To perform the build, run the following command:
mvn -Dnonoss install
## Running a developer environment
To run the webapp client:
mvn org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.0-beta-1:run -pl :cloud-client-ui -am -Pclient
Then hit: http://localhost:8080/cloud-client-ui/
to run webapp client:
mvn org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.0-beta-1:run -pl :cloud-client-ui -am -Pclient -Dnonoss
then hit: http://localhost:8080/cloud-client-ui/
or add in your ~/.m2/settings.xml or add in your ~/.m2/settings.xml
<pluginGroups> <pluginGroups>
<pluginGroup>org.apache.tomcat.maven</pluginGroup> <pluginGroup>org.apache.tomcat.maven</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups> </pluginGroups>
and save your fingers with mvn tomcat7:run -pl :cloud-client-ui -am -Pclient -Dnonoss and save your fingers with mvn tomcat7:run -pl :cloud-client-ui -am -Pclient
Optionally add -Dnonoss to either of the commands above.
If you want to use ide debug: replace mvn with mvnDebug and attach your ide debugger to port 8000 If you want to use ide debug: replace mvn with mvnDebug and attach your ide debugger to port 8000
