31 +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.
4 4  
5 -**NOTE**: It is very helpful if you understand some Maven concepts before continue with this tutorial. See [[General Maven Documentation]] for more information.
33 +(a) You can use MacPorts ([[https:~~/~~/www.macports.org>>url:https://www.macports.org||shape="rect"]]) to install:

7 -== Step 2: Configuring your Maven Settings ==
35 +{{code title="MacPorts usage" theme="Emacs" language="bash"}}
36 +$ sudo port install maven3
37 +{{/code}}
8 8  
9 -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 at .m2 folder in the user home (,,/.m2 on Unix systems and C:ocuments and Settingsserm2 on Windows). If this file doesn't exist yet, just create it.,,
39 +(b) Or similarly via Homebrew ([[http:~~/~~/brew.sh>>url:http://brew.sh||shape="rect"]]):
10 10  
11 -You have to define the WOProject plug-in group and the repositories to download the plug-ins. The following snippet shows how to make this configuration:
41 +{{code title="Homebrew usage" theme="Emacs" language="bash"}}
42 +$ brew install maven
43 +{{/code}}
12 12  
13 -{{noformat}}
45 +(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:

73 +**NOTE 1**: It is very helpful if you understand some Maven concepts before continuing with this tutorial. See [[doc:General Maven Documentation]] for more information.
74 +
75 +**NOTE 2**: You might also like to install bash completion utilities:
76 +
77 +* See this superuser answer for bash-completion installation: ([[http:~~/~~/superuser.com/questions/288438/bash-completion-for-commands-in-mac-os-x>>url:http://superuser.com/questions/288438/bash-completion-for-commands-in-mac-os-x||shape="rect"]]).

80 +== Step 2: Configuring your Maven Settings ==
81 +
82 +Advanced users can skip this step, but it's highly recommended.

84 +[[doc:Quick Start Maven Settings Configuration Guide]]
85 +
86 +**NOTE for those who know what to do**: You can download the complete and most recent settings.xml [[here>>attach:settings.xml]] and install it to ~~/.m2/settings.xml.
87 +
88 +Download the [[archetype-catalog.xml>>url:http://maven.wocommunity.org/content/groups/public/archetype-catalog.xml||shape="rect"]] and copy it to ~~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml

60 60  == Step 3: Installing WebObjects Libraries ==
61 61  
62 62  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:
63 63  
64 64  {{noformat}}
97 +mvn wobootstrap:install -DwebObjectsLibFolder=/Library/WebObjects/lib -DwebObjectsVersion=5.4.3
65 65  
66 -mvn wobootstrap:install
67 -
68 68  {{/noformat}}
69 69  
70 -**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.
101 +**NOTE**: WebObjects must be installed.
71 71  
72 -== Step 4: Creating a WebObjects Project ==
103 +**See** the [[doc:maven-wobootstrap-plugin]] documentation for more information and options for specifying a specific version.
73 73  
74 -Archetypes are the fast way to create a new project using Maven. WOProject provides one archetype to create WebObjects Application. Execute the following command to generate a basic WebObjects project:
105 +**See** [[Maven Introduction to Repositories>>url:http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html||shape="rect"]] if you want more information about Maven repositories.
75 75  
76 -{{noformat}}
107 +{{warning title="Installing the right jars!"}}
108 +Do **not** link to or install the WebObjects jars located inside {{code language="none"}}/System/Library/Frameworks{{/code}} or {{code language="none"}}/Library/Frameworks{{/code}}. If you're installing an older version of WebObjects you must obtain the jars that the WebObjects installer had previously installed into {{code language="none"}}/Library/WebObjects/lib{{/code}}. For example, the jar {{code language="none"}}/Library/WebObjects/lib/JavaWebObjects.jar{{/code}} has the complete set of resources and files included for the dependency JavaWebObjects whereas {{code language="none"}}/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaWebObjects.framework/Resources/Java/javawebobjects.jar{{/code}} does not.
109 +{{/warning}}
77 77  
78 -mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=woapplication-archetype \
79 - -DarchetypeGroupId=org.objectstyle.woproject.maven2 \
80 - -DarchetypeVersion=2.0.14 \
81 - -DarchetypeRepository=http://webobjects.mdimension.com/maven2/releases
111 +== Step 4: Creating a WebObjects or Wonder Project ==
82 82  
113 +Archetypes are the fast way to create a new project using Maven and WOProject provides various archetypes of its own to get you started with WebObjects, or better, Wonder-based applications. Execute the following command to generate a basic Wonder application project:
114 +
115 +{{noformat}}
116 +mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=erxapplication-archetype \
117 + -DarchetypeGroupId=org.objectstyle.woproject.maven2 \
118 + -DarchetypeVersion=2.1
119 +
83 83  {{/noformat}}
84 84  
85 85  The maven-archetype-plugin will ask the required information to create the new project.
86 86  
87 -**NOTE**: You can use archetype catalogs to reduce the number of properties to set while creating a project. See the documentation of [[woapplication-archetype]].
124 +**NOTE**: You can use archetype catalogs to reduce the number of properties to set while creating a project. See the documentation of [[doc:woapplication-archetype]].
88 88  
126 +**NOTE**: You can use archetypes within Eclipse as described [[here>>doc:documentation.Maven Create WO Application Project||anchor="m2eclipse"]].
127 +
128 +**NOTE:** You can see the list of available archetypes in the following location: [[http:~~/~~/wo-repository.moleque.com.br/nexus/content/groups/public/org/objectstyle/woproject/maven2/>>url:http://wo-repository.moleque.com.br/nexus/content/groups/public/org/objectstyle/woproject/maven2/||shape="rect"]].
129 +
89 89  == Step 5: Importing the Project into Eclipse ==
90 90  
91 91  The new project is ready to be imported into Eclipse workspace. Use the Eclipse's import wizard (File > Import...) and choose the option "Existing Projects into Workspace". Select the root directory of your new project and finish the import wizard.
92 92  
93 93  {{note title="Warning"}}
94 -
95 95  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:
96 -# Use the mvn eclipse:eclipse goal to update your .classpath file.
97 -# Use the m2eclipse plug-in for Eclipse.
98 -# Use the q4e plug-in for Eclipse.
99 99  
137 +1. Use the [[mvn eclipse:eclipse>>url:http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/||shape="rect"]] goal to update your .classpath file.
138 +1. Use the [[m2eclipse>>url:http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/||shape="rect"]] plug-in for Eclipse.
