First, make sure that your development environment is set up and ready.

Cloning project

We use git submodules for some of project's dependencies. So, cloning of WMP project is not as trivial as usually. Execute this commands to clone project:

  • git clone
  • git submodule init
  • git submodule update

Configuring Linux environment

Configuring Windows environment

  • download and install [JDK 8] (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html)
  • create JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to JDK install directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102)
  • add the path to JDK bin subdirectory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_102\bin) to PATH environment variable
  • download Apache Maven binary archive (link) and unpack it somewhere (e.g. C:\Users\username\bin\apache-maven-3.3.9)
  • add the path to Maven bin subdirectory (e.g. C:\Users\username\bin\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin) to PATH environment variable

Make sure that JDK and Maven are installed correctly by running command java -version and mvn --version commands.

To build everything run mvn install command in the project root directory.

We use maven profiles to configure artifacts. By default one-tomcat-for-all profile will be used. It means that war-files, created after installation, will be configured to deploy on tomcat "allintomcat" configuration, which can be find in deployment directory. To start service you will need to run this deployment scenario.

Of course, you can use other profiles (like "different-ports" profile) or even create your own. In all that cases you will need to run tomcat services separately.

NOTE: We use IntelliJ IDEA (preferably Ultimate Edition) as an IDE. Other IDEs or even no IDE should be used at your own risk.
