| # The Greeter Tutorial |
| |
| This tutorial takes a slightly longer look at Blueprint and works through |
| the process of converting an OSGi project to use use Blueprint. It is aimed |
| at people who already have some familiarity with OSGi. |
| |
| The tutorial is assembled and distributed as a zip or tar.gz file. All of |
| the documentation is included in the zip or tar.gz file. The intention was |
| to build a tutorial that could be used in a classroom or conference. The |
| only pre-reqs (in addition to the zip/tar.gz) are: |
| |
| * Maven 2.2+ |
| * Java 1.6 + |
| * A network connection |
| |
| To build the tutorial zip/tar.gz you will need to: |
| |
| * Check out and build Aries, see [here](/development/buildingaries.html) |
| * cd trunk/tutorials/blueprint/tutorial-modules |
| * mvn clean install |
| * cd ../tutorial-assembly |
| * mvn assembly:assembly |
| |
| This final step will generate a zip and a tar.gz file in the target |
| directory. |
| To run through the tutorial, extract either the zip or tar.gz into some temporary space (\[toplevel\](toplevel\.html) |
| ) and point your web browser at \[toplevel\]/docs/instructions.html. |
