Demosys Project - Developer Corner

Built by Maven

Before to develop Demosys, you'll need to install Maven first. For more details on how to install Maven please refer to the Maven documentation .

Here's a brief overview of what you need to do.

Download a binary distribution of Maven here .
Set the environment variable MAVEN_HOME to point to where you installed Maven (D:\Dev\maven\maven-1.0-beta-9 for me)
Change your PATH environment variable so that it points to MAVEN_HOME/bin
Get a source distribution of Demosys via CVS here .

To verify that your Maven installation is working, change directory into your Demosys directory which should contain a project.xml file required by Maven. Then type

                maven war:war

This should download all the required jars required to build, compile all the code and build and run all the unit test cases, and finally build the web application.
