changes in java code do not appear, program runs from a shell script

Question

I cloned a GitHub repository (https://github.com/tomergreenwald/tac-adx) and did some changes in the code. But if i run the application with the runServer script:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Usage
#   sh ./runServer.sh
#
TACAA_HOME=`pwd`
echo $TACAA_HOME
echo $CLASSPATH

java -cp "lib/*" se.sics.tasim.sim.Main

and the runAgent script:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Usage
#   sh ./runServer.sh
#
TACAA_HOME=`pwd`
echo $TACAA_HOME
echo $CLASSPATH

java -cp "lib/*" tau.tac.adx.agentware.Main -config config/aw-1.conf

no changes appear. The program starts the simulation as if nothing had changed. I already tried to do some substantial code changes in the Main methods, like comment out everything, but it seems like the application is not using them.

How can i make my changes appear? (i use intelliJ as IDE)

Answer 1

I have java -version

java version "17.0.1" 2021-10-19 LTS
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39, mixed mode, sharing)

and mvn -version

Apache Maven 3.8.5 (3599d3414f046de2324203b78ddcf9b5e4388aa0)
Maven home: /opt/maven
Java version: 11.0.15, vendor: Private Build, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "5.4.0-99-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

running and mvn clean install in directory cd AdX returns a lot of working tests and two failures such that the whole build seems to fail. Probably minor fixes. In IntelliJ you probably need to define the actual maven source folder as a "source" (I think in that IDE it then shows as a blue folder). No idea, however, whether there is more logic around the build with this server invocation script.
