Heritrix Continuous Seeding UI

Heritrix UI plugin for exposing continuous seeding via action directories

Installation and start up

1. Download a version of heritrix-cs-ui-_.jar and copy it into the lib folder of your Heritrix install.

2. Run Heritrix with the following env variable prepended to the script (all previous arguments are still valid):

   > CLASS_MAIN='com.openplaces.heritrix.HeritrixCS' bin/heritrix -a admin:admin

Usage

1. From the Heritrix web ui, append "/seeding" to the job's base url to visit the continuous seeding page. For example, if your job's url is "https://localhost:8443/engine/job/myjob1", then "https://localhost:8443/engine/job/myjob1/seeding" will bring you to the continuous seeding page.
2. Add any number of seeds with a newline separating each entry. Verify that the flash message says "Seeds added: ..." after you submit the form.

Building

To build against another version of Heritrix:

1. Obtain the heritrix-cs-ui source from http://github.com/openplaces/heritrix-cs-ui
2. Install Gradle (http://www.gradle.org/installation.html)
3. Open up build.gradle and modify the "heritrix_version" property, and "version" to your own custom value.
4. Run "gradle jar" from the command line and your newly packaged jar should be in the build/libs folder.
