Abstract

This chapter describes the (Java) software needed to build the Vaadin Objects project. Follow the steps in this chapter if you want to build the project from source, or want to contribute back to the project.

1.1. Prerequisites

The Star Objects developers' guide describes the common set up for all sister projects, including this one. Specifically it describes how to set up your development environment based on whether you are just building from source or whether you are additionally contributing back to the project. It also describes the corporate POM, used as a common parent by all sister projects.

Review the Star Objects document and then set up your development environment accordingly (part one of that document). You should end up with Java, Maven, Subversion and Eclipse, all configured appropriately.
