This wiki is in 'slumber' mode, just like its associated sourceforge project. Edits are disabled, the content is potentially stale and is not maintained. That said, it contains some really useful stuff still. Enjoy!

These instructions are intentionally brief. Send mail to the development mailing list if you have trouble getting things to work.

The current release is jicarilla-platform-0.3-alpha, which you can get here. Note that this is an alpha release intended only for preview purposes.

Also note that the wiki and all other documentation generally refers to the latest materials in cvs.

Help

• You need cvs. I wrote a good guide to CVS basics.
• You also need maven, beta-10 or later. Maven has excellent user documentation: Getting Started with Maven.
• there's a web interface into Jicarilla CVS which you can spider with CVSGrab, useful if you're behind a restrictive firewall.

Basic info

cvs repository: :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jicarilla

password: empty string (simply press enter when prompted for a password)

modules: see the web interface, or use the alias all to get everything, or use the jicarilla-platform alias to get just the platform (includes framework, components and container)

Basic Commands

For unix variants or windows users with Cygwin.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jicarilla login 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jicarilla co jicarilla-platform 
 
cd jicarilla-platform 
maven jicarilla:install 

Now what?

Rather than provide complex shell and build scripts which will inevitably fail for half of the world, I recommend you create a new project for jicarilla in a good IDE (like IDEA or Eclipse). For reference, Upload new attachment "jicarilla-project-descriptors-for-idea-4.0-beta.tgz" are my IDEA project files.

Take a look at the test cases (and run them) to get to grips with the code. If you don't know what unit tests are, learn about them now.

Try firing up the webserver by running the Main class.

Read the documentation. Most of it is kept in the JavaDocs, so look there first.
