Usage
* Prerequisites
Prior to using the Visual Studio installer plugin, make sure that you have the following installed on your system:
[[1]] {{{ http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp} JDK 5.0 Update x}}
[[2]] Both {{{http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/default.aspx} Microsoft .NET Framework}} (2.0+)
AND {{{http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/default.aspx} NET Framework 2.0 SDK}}. Note that the 2.0+ framework
is required to run NMaven, but you can still target 1.1 for your builds provided that the 1.1 version
is also installed.
[[3]] {{{http://nunit.org/index.php?p=download} NUnit 2.2+ (only if using unit tests)}}.
[[4]] {{{http://maven.apache.org/download.html} Maven 2.0.4 or higher}}
[[5]] Visual Studio 2005 Standard or higher is needed to use the NMaven Addin
(Visual Studio Express Edition will not work)
[]
For the install only, you will also need to make sure that you have both the SDK and the .NET framework locations within your path. Typical
locations include:
* install root: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
* SDK root: C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0\
* Installing
If you have built NMaven locally on your machine, you can just type:
+----+
mvn org.apache.maven.dotnet.plugins:maven-vsinstaller-plugin:install
+----+
If you have not built NMaven locally and are just looking to use the binary distribution, then check out the instructions here:
