| System Requirements | |
| =================== | |
| * JDK 1.6 or greater (http://java.sun.com/) | |
| * JUnit 4.8.2 or greater (http://www.junit.org/) | |
| * Maven 2.2.1 or greater (http://maven.apache.org/), recommended the latest 3.0.x | |
| Project Set-Up | |
| ============== | |
| * Ensure that Maven is on your classpath (set the PATH environment variable accordingly) | |
| Building Apache Pivot Quickstart Archetype | |
| ========================================== | |
| * To install the archetype in a local Maven repository: | |
| $ cd pivot-archetype-quickstart | |
| $ mvn -U install | |
| $ cd .. | |
| * To Test, generate a Pivot Project (called "myapp") with it | |
| (and give to it the desired package name when requested, like "com.mycompany.myapp", | |
| note that usually the ".myapp" part in the package is written only if overridden here): | |
| $ mvn archetype:generate -U -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.pivot -DarchetypeArtifactId=pivot-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=<the archetype release, as written in RELEASE-NOTES> -DgroupId=com.mycompany -DartifactId=myapp -Dversion=1.0 | |
| then, compile the project and run it. | |
| * Note that all maven -U flags shown here are optional, but useful to ensure that latest versions will be used. |
