Plutext server - Setting up your development environment
Assumptions
Maven helps with these steps, but we don't have it set up to do everything automatically. (Can you help?).
We're currently using Eclipse, so the details instructions reflect that. Please feel free to add instructions for other IDEs.
You do need Maven2.
Choose your repository
You need a JCR implementation to store the docx documents. As of January 2008, you can use either Alfresco or (in principle) Jackrabbit. Currently, you should use Alfresco since it supports access control. (We don't have an interface for access control on Jackrabbit yet, and it may be a while before we get around to making Jackrabbit working properly again following the code changes to support Alfresco).
High Level Steps
There are three high level steps:
1. Install docx4j (plus dependencies)
3. Install your JCR repository and integrate plutext with it- either Alfresco or (soon) Jackrabbit
(old) Jackrabbit
You can then run it - DevStartAlfresco? or (soon) Jackrabbit from Eclipse.
