1 **Getting Started with BugTracker**

3 ~1. Import the source code folders needed for BugTracker either [[from local Wonder source tree>>http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WONDER/Working+with+Wonder+source+in+Eclipse]] or from Wonder CVS server as discussed below.

7 If you're just exploring BugTracker, you may prefer to use the method outlined on [this page|Getting Started with BugTracker Alternate method] that depends on installed Wonder frameworks instead of importing the Wonder source into your workspace.

11 The next three screenshots are showing the folders that can be found on the CVS server for Wonder. I have split them up because all the folders don't fit on the screen at once As you can see, the folders that are necessary are found in several different sub-folders.
12
13 You may need to adjust the exact folders you import depending on the database you plan to use. In this case, I have added the FrontBase plugin as well as all the other frameworks that BugTracker expects to find in its build path.

17 BugTracker has new dependencies on DerbyPlugin and ERChronic since these screenshots were taken. Make sure to import them into your workspace as well.

53 6. Change the Properties located in the resources folder to match the requirements for your database. Wonder applications need Properties files to manage their configuration correctly. There are a number of different places in the Wonder frameworks that application properties will be read from. In the original example, the Database connection properties are taken from a logged in user's properties file, in this case it is named "Properties.ak". I moved the relevant lines to the Application Properties file that described the Global connection dictionary for BugTracker to access my FrontBase database. Alternatively (a recommended way) you can create your own "Properties.username" file by duplicating "Properties.ak"

57 The current Wonder source (Oct 31,2007) requires the addition of this property to he Properties file in BugTracker to run properly (Can someone commit this please?)

63 You can either set Global properties for your database, or you can set them for a specific model. See the Wonder docs for more information about Properties files and database configuration [[ERXConfigurationManager documentation>>http://webobjects.mdimension.com/wonder/api/er/extensions/ERXConfigurationManager.html]]

65 Here are the Global database connection settings I used for FrontBase. If you are using a different setup, you may want to ask on the mailing list for guidance:

84 * Create a database named "bug" in your MySQL development database
85 * Create a user and password with all privileges for that database (or use your mysql root user and password if you wish)
86 * Add the following properties to the Properties file in BugTracker using the user and password from the previous step

107 7. Now we want to run the app. The Wonder team has set it up so that you can generate all necessary tables and populate them when you launch the BugTracker application for the first time using a special launch configuration.
108
109 You'll see BugTracker launch configurations for creating, creating without dropping, and normal launching. We need to select the BugTracker (create without drop) launch configuration for the initial setup.

121 9. In the resulting dialog box, select BugTracker (create without drop). If you try to use (create) you'll get a bunch of errors complaining about lack of tables in the database.

127 10. You'll see a long list of things being done in your console window that takes several minutes. When you get the final Done message, your database is set up and ready to go. You can log into your database to confirm that the tables have been magically created and populated.
128
129 Now select BugTracker as your launch configuration to start the application:
