Getting Started -- Again
After Jim had been on the team a few weeks he realized that he had wasted a lot of time getting set up. He knew that the team would be growing so he worked to improve the setup process.
When Fred started, Jim pointed him to the getting started page:
- Install Subversion
- Checkout out the source using this command <>
- CD to the project directory and type build.sh
The build shell script executes the correct version of maven that is installed in the project tools directory, and Fred is ready to go after an hour or so.
Conclusions
The Wicket Project Quick Start page provides one example for setting up a project and provides an inspiration for how you set up a project in a more general case.
