How to apply modifications of JVB source code

Developers

Hi, I’d like to modify some parts of JVB in my intended manner.

What I did so far is as follows.

  1. I installed Jitsi Meet (just following the instructions in Self-Hosting Guide - Debian/Ubuntu server | Jitsi Meet).

  2. I confirmed that video conferencing worked properly in the case of more than 3 participants.

  3. I cloned jitsi-videobridge and did “mvn install” after some code modifications.

  4. While I compile the JVB by “mvn install”, I checked my specific messages saved in a certain local file.

  5. I replaced the “jitsi-videobridge.jar” file from “/usr/share/jitsi-videobridge/” using the same name jar file in the zip file (the result of compiling).

  6. I restart JVB by “/etc/init.d/jitsi-videobridge2 restart”.

However, I cannot see the specific messages anymore while conducting several video conferencing. So, I’m suspicious about whether I modified the source code correctly.

Please, explain to me how to apply the source code modification.
