Setting up the development environment

Getting the build process running for Flock is remarkably easy, thanks to Maven. Here's what you need to do:

• Check out module "flock" from the CVS repository (anonymous). Further details are provided on SourceForge.
• Download and unzip Maven.
• Set up the neccessary environment variables (JAVA_HOME, MAVEN_HOME), put the maven/bin directory in your PATH...
• From the flock root directory (where project.xml is), run "maven war" - this will download all sorts of dependecies and finally build flock.war in the "target" subdirectory.
• Copy/deploy flock.war into your servlet container (eg. the Jetty).

Setting up Eclipse project

• Start Eclipse
• Under "Window"->"Open perspective"->"CVS Repository exploring"
• In "CVS repositories" view:
• Right click
• Select "New" -> "Repository location"
• set host to : "cvs.flock.sourceforge.net"
• set repository path: "/cvsroot/flock"
• set user to: "anonymous"
• Click finish
• Navigate to HEAD -> flock
• Right click, and select "Check out as Project"
• Drink a coke during the checkout (optional:-)
• From a command prompt enter:

  "C:>cd ECLIPSE_PATH\workspace\flock"

  "...\eclipse\workspace\flock>maven eclipse:add-maven-repo"

  This will download all the dependencies, and set up maven_repo for eclipse

Congratulation, you've got the fresh code of flock as an eclipse project !
