Setting up development enviroment for XPlannerPlus

Instructions for eclipse users:

So first of all you need to have jdk 1.5 or higher, tomcat (6.0 or 5.5) and Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers(You may use Eclipse for Java Developers, with another web devepment plugins as well) installed.


For tomcat managing I'm using Sysdeo tomcat plugin.
 Then you need to have svn and maven plugins installed on eclipse. I'd prefer Subclipse and M2Eclipse correspondently.
After plugins installations you may checkout project, via menu: File>New>Maven>"Checkout Maven Projects from SCM".

On next screen, In SCM URL choos svn, and paste url https://xplanner-plus.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xplanner-plus.

Then press finish.
It will takes some times depending on speed of you internet connection and availability of sourceforge.net



Requirements for running XPlanner-Plus

1. First of all you need to have proper Java, we are supporting Sun Jdk 5, 6 and OpenJDK 6. (May work on Iced Tea, but haven't tried). We have one problem not on sun jdk, you can't use graphical progress bar, by default you have html bar.
2. Database: Mysql, hsqldb. Other database are not tested, however we are using hibernate, so can support any database (theoritically).
3. Servers: tomcat 6.0 and 5.5, jetty. Others are not tested.
