Quick Rebuild Without Dependencies Downloads

Try the following to rebuild the theme without having to download dependencies again: 

 mvn -U clean package -Dmirage2.on=true -Dmirage2.deps.included=false
Please Note: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2368.

This error appears when adding -Dmirage2.deps.included=false to the build.

Update Regular Rebuild DSpace Script

If you want to use the Mirage2 theme permanently, then make sure to add the Mirage2 build switch to your DSpace rebuild script.

  • For example;
mvn -U clean package -Dmirage2.on=true

Step 4 - Activate Theme

  • Type the following:
nano $HOME/dspace/source/dspace/config/xmlui.xconf
