| Title: Tutorial Setup |
| |
| <P>The goal of this section of the tutorial is to install (or check that you already have installed) a minimally needed set of software to build a Cayenne application.</P> |
| |
| <H3><A name="TutorialSetup-InstallJava"></A>Install Java</H3> |
| |
| <P>Obviously, JDK has to be installed. Cayenne 3.0 requires JDK 1.5 or newer.</P> |
| |
| <H3><A name="TutorialSetup-InstallEclipseIDEandtheMavenPlugin"></A>Install Eclipse IDE and the Maven Plugin</H3> |
| |
| <P>Download Eclipse <A href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">from here</A>. This tutorial is based on the Galileo package (Eclipse 3.5), JEE edition, still it should work with any recent vanilla Eclipse distribution.</P> |
| |
| <P>After downloading Eclipse, unpack it somewhere in the filesystem, and start it. The only plugin that you need for the tutorial is <A href="http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">m2eclipse</A>. To install it, in Eclipse go to "Help > Install New Software", then click on "Add.." to add a new download site, and enter "Maven" in the "Name" field, and "http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e" in the "Location" field. You may install any of the optional components that you think you need, but for this tutorial we only select a few basic components as shown on the following screenshot:</P> |
