5 5  == Step 1: Installing Maven ==

7 -Downloading and installing the latest version of [[Maven>>http://maven.apache.org/download]] is the first step to start using this tool.
34 +Downloading and installing the latest version of [[Maven>>url:https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi||shape="rect"]] is the first step to start using this tool via one of the following approaches.
8 8  
9 -{{tip title="Mac Tip"}}
36 +(a) You can use MacPorts ([[https:~~/~~/www.macports.org>>url:https://www.macports.org||shape="rect"]]) to install:
10 10  
11 - install macports [http://www.macports.org/install.php], then on the terminal
12 - {noformat}sudo port install maven2{noformat}
38 +{{code language="bash" theme="Emacs" title="MacPorts usage"}}
39 +$ sudo port install maven3
40 +{{/code}}
13 13  
14 - In future, to keep this up to date:
15 - {noformat}sudo port upgrade maven2{noformat}
42 +(b) Or similarly via Homebrew ([[http:~~/~~/brew.sh>>url:http://brew.sh||shape="rect"]]):
16 16  
17 -{{/tip}}
44 +{{code language="bash" theme="Emacs" title="Homebrew usage"}}
45 +$ brew install maven
46 +{{/code}}
18 18  
19 -**NOTE**: It is very helpful if you understand some Maven concepts before continuing with this tutorial. See [[General Maven Documentation]] for more information.
48 +(c) Or manually by downloading the binary tarball, copying it to /usr/local/, unpacking it, soft linking it and adding the path to your bash_profile:
20 20  
21 -== Step 2: Configuring your Maven Settings ==
50 +{{code language="bash" theme="Emacs" title="Manual install"}}
51 +$ sudo su
52 +$ cd /usr/local/
53 +$ curl -O http://mirror.tcpdiag.net/apache/maven/maven-3/3.3.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.3.3-bin.tar.gz
54 +$ tar -xzf apache-maven-3.3.3-bin.tar.gz
55 +$ ln -s apache-maven-3.3.3 apache-maven
56 +$ exit
57 +$ cd ~/
58 +$ vi .bash_profile
59 +{{/code}}
22 22  
23 -Before start using Maven, you have to configure it in order to use the plug-ins provided by WOProject. General Maven configuration is made in a settings.xml file. This file can be found in a folder called ##.m2## in each user's home directory (,,/.m2 on Unix systems and C:ocuments and SettingsserNamem2 on Windows). If this file does not yet exist, you can just create it.,,
61 +Then in your bash profile, ensure your path and java home are updated:
24 24  
25 -You have to define the WOProject plug-in group and the repositories to download the plug-ins. The following xml is sufficient to configure maven for using WOProject-maven plugin:
63 +{{code language="text" theme="Emacs" title="~~/.bash_profile" linenumbers="true"}}
64 +...
65 +export PATH=/usr/local/apache-maven/bin:$PATH
66 +export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
67 +...
68 +{{/code}}

107 107  == Step 3: Installing WebObjects Libraries ==
108 108  
109 109  Maven takes control of all your project's dependencies. To develop WebObjects applications, Maven has to reference the WebObjects jars. You have to install the WebObjects libraries into your local repository to accomplish this:
110 110  
111 111  {{noformat}}
100 +mvn wobootstrap:install -DwebObjectsLibFolder=/Library/WebObjects/lib -DwebObjectsVersion=5.4.3

117 -**NOTE**: WebObjects must be installed. See the [[maven-wobootstrap-plugin]] documentation for more information. See [[Maven Introduction to Repositories>>http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html]] if you want more information about Maven repositories.
104 +**NOTE**: WebObjects must be installed.

120 120  
121 -Do *not* link to or install the WebObjects jars located inside {{/System/Library/Frameworks}} or {{/Library/Frameworks}}. If you're installing an older version of WebObjects you must obtain the jars that the WebObjects installer had previously installed into {{/Library/WebObjects/lib}}. For example, the jar {{/Library/WebObjects/lib/JavaWebObjects.jar}} has the complete set of resources and files included for the dependency JavaWebObjects whereas {{/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/Java/javawebobjects.jar}} does not.

147 147  {{note title="Warning"}}
148 -
149 149  As Maven takes care of the dependency management, you must use a mechanism to add the jars to your Eclipse build path. There are 3 options:
150 -# Use the [mvn eclipse:eclipse|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/] goal to update your .classpath file.
151 -# Use the [m2eclipse|http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/] plug-in for Eclipse.
152 -# Use the [q4e|http://code.google.com/p/q4e/] plug-in for Eclipse.
153 153  
147 +1. Use the [[mvn eclipse:eclipse>>url:http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/||shape="rect"]] goal to update your .classpath file.
148 +1. Use the [[m2eclipse>>url:http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/||shape="rect"]] plug-in for Eclipse.

156 156  After adding the project dependencies to your Eclipse build path, WOLips can build the project and you will be able to start developing and running the application.
