Install the plugin on local GN (ZIP-version) - which files to edit?

[laers]

Hi

I would like to install the plugin on my local PC, i.e. I am using GN 4.4.8 ZIP version.
Can you tell me which files I need to edit?

I can find pom.xml in
...\geonetwork-bundle-4.4.8-0\apps\geonetwork\META-INF\maven\org.geonetwork-opensource\gn-web-app\pom.xml
where I can add

<parent>
 <artifactId>gn-schemas</artifactId>
 <groupId>org.geonetwork-opensource.schemas</groupId>
 <version>x.y.z</version>
</parent>

and

<execution>
  <id>unpack-schemas</id>
  <phase>process-resources</phase>
  <goals><goal>unpack</goal></goals>
  <configuration>
    <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
    <artifactItems>
      <!-- ... -->
      <artifactItem>
        <groupId>org.geonetwork-opensource.schemas</groupId>
        <artifactId>gn-schema-dcat-ap</artifactId>
        <type>zip</type>
        <overWrite>false</overWrite>
        <outputDirectory>${schema-plugins.dir}</outputDirectory>
      </artifactItem>
    </artifactItems>
  </configuration>
</execution>

But!
Where can I find the file schemas/pom.xml where I need to add

<modules>
   <!-- ... -->
   <module>dcat-ap</module>
</modules>

?

I have added the dcat-ap schema folder into ...\geonetwork-bundle-4.4.8-0\apps\geonetwork\WEB-INF\data\config\schema_plugins

Thank you.

Dear @laers , excuses for the late reply. I've personally not tried the .zip distribution at this point so I'm not sure whether everything is 100% inline with the developer experience. In any case, the start.ps1 script seems to run the same mvn commands so perhaps you can get away with it.

I tried locating schemas/pom.xml in core-geonetwork-4.4.8.zip, it's available in the following path in the zip file: /core-geonetwork-4.4.8/schemas/pom.xml. z

The <parent> reference you are mentioning that needs to be added has to be included in the pom.xml file of the dcat-ap schema plugin (which you need to add yourself, based on this repository, in the schemas folder).
