OVERVIEW

This document contain the instruction on how to install and configure your project's WAR component using the war-template.  The screen shots are taken from the Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers - Version: Indigo Service Release 2 IDE.  If you are using a different version of Eclipse Java EE or a different variant of Eclipse, the screen shots may differ.  It is important to keep in mind that the following instructions should be viewed as to what has to be done rather than how to do it.

There are 3 sections to this document.  These sections are:

• Section 1:
  This section deals with creating a Maven war project using the war-template.  You should notice that in this section:
  1. Items 1 - 8 deal with checking out and disconnecting the war template from the SVN repository.
  2. Items 9 - 12 deal with cleanup, renaming the war template and converting the project to a Maven project..
  3. Items 13 - 20 deal with checking in the renamed project into a new SVN repository specifically for your project.
• Section 2:
  This section deals editing various project files and is very straight forward.
• Section 3:
  This section deals editing the project's pom.xml.
• Section 4:
  This section deals with changes that have been made to the JAR template that are not reflected in the documentation.

It should take you approximately 10 - 20 minutes to get your war component created and customized.

Section 4: One final thing to do

There may have been changes made to the JAR WAR template that are not reflected in the above documentation.
The final task that must be done is to search the entire project for any occurance of projectName.
Open any file that contain projectName for editing and change projectName to your short project acronym.

One final thing to do is now complete.
