Introduction

This is a quick guide explaining the prerequisites for developing. Most of the contributors in the community use Eclipse, but if you use some other IDE (IntelliJ, NetBeans etc) please feel free to update this page.

nb: This stuff should be in docbook (and the starobjects.org umbrella project has some stuff we can take-on, see: http://starobjects.sourceforge.net/m2-site/main/documentation/docbkx/html/developers-guide/developers-guide.html and http://starobjects.sourceforge.net/m2-site/main/documentation/docbkx/pdf/developers-guide.pdf)

Where next?

Once you've got your development environment set up, move on to look at BuildProcess

Java and Maven

For now, just a rough list:

  • Java 6 JDK
  • either Maven 2.2.1 or Maven 3.0.0 (and point m2eclipse towards)

Both versions of Maven seem to work ok; probably makes sense to go with M3.0.0 now that it's out.

Maven 3

Some notes on UsingMaven3 here.

Eclipse

Plugins

Standards

  • trunk/src/site/resources/ide/eclipse/templates

Setting up IRC client

We have an IRC chatroom #apache-isis on freenode.net. You can use any IRC client you want. If you don't habitually use an IRC client, then you might want to try freenode's webchat client which you can run from in your web browser. See IrcWebChat for more info.
