[Building Sakai] New Developer

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Brandon,

Welcome! For getting up and running with a Sakai tool, take a look at the Sakai Wicket Maven Archetype:
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BOOT/Sakai+Wicket+Maven+Archetype

The other thing is that you probably don't want all of the Sakai source code in your Eclipse workspace. There really isn't a need to do that unless you are working on modifying actual Sakai modules. Even then you can just import in the ones you need.

cheers,
Steve

I don't have extensive working experience with Java but I have taken enough college courses to know which way is up and which way is down and learn quickly. I have followed the instructions available on the Programmer's Cafe regarding setting up a development environment on my Mac. I've also successfully built and deployed Sakai 2.8.0 from source.
