Run ./gradlew build
- This creates the following:
corda-cli.jar
in theapp/build/libs/
directoryplugin-example-plugin-0.0.1.zip
in thebuild/plugins
directory- wrapper scripts, including
corda-cli.sh
in thebuild/generatedScripts
directory
These files enable you to run plugins. You can build plugins from other repositories and copy them in to the build/plugins
directory. Plugin JARs can be placed into build/plugins
without rebuilding this plugin host project; they will be picked up dynamically, and you do not have to list them out or do anything more than just copy them in to this directory. To work with Corda 5, execute the following to retrieve corda-runtime-os/tools/plugins/package and corda-runtime-os/tools/plugins/mgm:
(cd .. && git clone https://github.com/corda/corda-runtime-os.git)
(cd ../corda-runtime-os && ./gradlew :tools:plugins:package:build :tools:plugins:network:build)
cp ../corda-runtime-os/tools/plugins/package/build/libs/package-cli-plugin-*.jar ../corda-runtime-os/tools/plugins/network/build/libs/network-cli*.jar build/plugins/
The build process generates scripts in the build/generatedScripts
directory. This ensures scripts always refer to the correct version of corda-cli.jar
. The build process copies the scripts from the root scripts
directory to build/generatedScripts
and updates the version referenced in the scripts accordingly. It also generates the required Jars. You can also manually trigger this task with ./gradlew generateVersionedScripts
if required, but the corda-cli jar must be generated and present in the app\build\libs
to execute these scripts.
The build/generatedScripts
directory contains a windows cmd and shell command script that can be called after a gradlew Build. corda-cli.cmd
etc
Refer to the detailed documentation for each plugin:
- network plugin README.md for generating group policy files which are required to make CPIs, which are required to run a CorDapp.
- package plugin README.md for generating CPB and CPI files
Root Command: example-plugin

- Prints a welcome message.
Corda CLI logs everything to a file in the users home directory located in ~/.corda/cli/logs
by default. This behaviour can be changed by editing the following in the corda-cli.cmd/sh
files:
-DlogLevel
- the minimum level to be logged.-DlogFile
- location of the log file.
You can add these flags as Java Parameters before the jar file is called.
You can also change the plugin directory by editing the following in the corda-cli.cmd/sh files:
-Dpf4j.pluginsDir
— changes the directory plugins are loaded from.
