| The easiest way to get started with Jelly is to try out the <a href="tutorial.html">tutorials</a>. |
| Before you try out any of the tutorials, you'll need to install Maven first. |
| For more details on how to install Maven please refer to the |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/start/install.html">Maven documentation</a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Here's a brief overview of what you need to do. |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Download a binary distribution of Maven. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Set the environment variable MAVEN_HOME to point to where you installed Maven |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Change your PATH environment variable so that it points to MAVEN_HOME/bin |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Get a source distribution of Jelly. |
| The easiest way to do this is (until we have nightly builds working) is to grab a CVS checkout. |
| Jelly currently resides in the jelly directory inside jakarta-commons-sandbox. |
| There are instructions on performing CVS checkouts |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html">here</a> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| To verify that your Maven installation is working, change directory into your <i>jelly</i> directory |
| which should contain a <i>project.xml</i> file required by Maven. Then type |
| </p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| maven test |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> |
| This should download all the required jars required to build and run all the example Jelly scripts, |
| compile all the code and build and run all the unit test cases. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Once you've got this far, it might be time to try out one of the <a href="tutorial.html">tutorials</a> |
