Foundation

The IKE foundation — published to Maven Central and inheritable by any project.

The foundation members fall into two layered orderings. ike-base-parent sits at the apex of the parent inheritance chain — every other foundation artifact inherits from it. ike-platform sits at the terminus of the build-and-release dependency chain — releases propagate through it last.

Figure 1. Build/release dependency order

Members at the same level have no dependency on each other — ike-tooling and ike-workspace-extension can release in either order or in parallel.

IKE Base Parent

^[1]

Tier 0 foundation parent for the IKE Network — the apex of the parent inheritance forest, inherited by ike-tooling, ike-docs, and ike-platform. Carries shared publishing metadata, GPG signing, and Maven Central publishing configuration.

IKE Java Support

^[4]

Shared, enforced-zero-dependency value types for the IKE Network: ConstantBackedEnum for compiler-visible constants, EnumDefinition for controlled-vocabulary enums, and the ReleasePolicy release-cascade policy ladder. See IKE-Network/ike-issues#498.

IKE Tooling

^[7]

Workspace management, release orchestration, gitflow workflows, and build-time utilities for IKE Network projects.

IKE Docs

^[10]

Documentation plumbing for the IKE Network. Hosts the ike-doc-maven-plugin (ike-doc packaging, AsciiDoc/render pipeline, PDF dispatch), the Koncept AsciiDoc extension, DocBook XSL + fonts, shared doc resources, and the semantic linebreak reformatter. Split from ike-pipeline to resolve the extensions=true reactor-load cycle. See IKE-Network/ike-issues#216.

IKE Workspace Extension

^[13]

Maven 4 build extension that prunes non-existent <subprojects> entries from workspace POMs before model validation. Lets a fresh clone of an IKE workspace bootstrap with mvn ws:scaffold-init before any subproject directory is on disk.

IKE Version Management Extension

^[16]

Maven 4 build extension that implements the IKE typed-marker family for version-property naming: ${groupIdGAartifactIdVERSION}. Reads ALIAS properties from the inherited file-model and injects the declared short-name indirections, fails fast on undeclared canonical references, and detects ${G.A} typos with a corrective hint. Accepts the pre-#525 U+00B7 form during the transition. See IKE-Network/ike-issues#470, #472, #525, #526.

IKE Platform

^[19]

Consumer-facing parent POM, BOM, and workspace management plugin for the IKE Network. External doc and code projects inherit from ike-parent (declared here); cross-repo workspace operations use ike-workspace-maven-plugin (ws:* goals). Consumes ike-docs as an external artifact — ike-parent declares ike-doc-maven-plugin with extensions=true, resolving from Nexus at project-load time. Split from the archived ike-pipeline; see IKE-Network/ike-issues#216.

Examples

Reference projects that show how to consume the IKE foundation. They are deliberately not published to Maven Central: they are worked examples to read and copy, not libraries to depend on. Publishing them as artifacts would invite accidental coupling to code that exists only to illustrate a pattern.

IKE Documentation Example

Documentation-only project demonstrating the IKE AsciiDoc pipeline. Exercises all diagram types, Koncept macros, typography, and layout features across all 6 PDF renderers.

HL7 IG Corpus Example

Worked example of the corpus-example pattern — multi-module documentation project that ingests a corpus of HL7 implementation guides into the IKE topic library and produces per-IG assemblies plus cross-IG analytic outputs.

IKE Integration Tests Example

End-to-end smoke tests that exercise the IKE Network release cascade as external consumers would. Each IT case clones the intended usage pattern (doc-only project, java + docs, BOM import, ws:create scaffold) in a fresh Maven environment and asserts that the build succeeds and produces the expected artifacts.

IKE Project Example

Example Java project demonstrating IKE documentation pipeline integration with Java source, tests, and Koncept macros.
