[Building Sakai] Creating new tool in Sakai 2.6

[Steve Swinsburg]

Definitely check out one of the quickstart's as Bryan listed below.

You'll need to get a development environment up and running. See here:
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BOOT/Sakai+Programmer+Manual


Here is a summary I wrote for a bootcamp I held recently:
Install Subversion (1.6).
Install Java (1.6).
Install Maven (2.2.1, not 3 unless you are working on Sakai trunk).
Download and unpack Tomcat (5.5.33, not 6 or 7 yet). You will probably end up with multiple instances of Tomcat so arrange your workspace accordingly.
Configure environment variables.
Check out the Sakai source code.
Build the source code and deploy into Tomcat.
Setup your database for Sakai
Configure sakai.properties.
Start Tomcat.
Most of this is covered in the comprehensive Sakai Install Guide, please read this: https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Sakai+CLE+2.8+Release+Notes

It covers the initial installation and configuration of Maven and the setup of the environment variables.


cheers,
Steve
