PING Discovery: Pilot implementasjon og utforskning av PING -> Installation guide --> Netbeans and Ping

This guide describes how to install Netbeans and get it working with maven 2 and Ping. It is assumed that you have already downloaded the ping source code and successfully installed it using maven 2. At least you should have downloaded all the necessary plugins to your <path>/.m2/repository location because the Netbeans maven 2 plugin doesn't handle downloading very well.

Eclipse also comes with a maven 2 plugin, but we did not manage to get this working with Ping.


Contents

Download and install Netbeans

Download and install from http://www.netbeans.org/products/ide/


Install Maven 2 plugin

Download and install from http://maven.apache.org/netbeans-module.html (follow the installation instructions)


Set repository path

In Netbeans: Tools->Options->Misc.->maven2: Set local repository (e.g. <path>/.m2/repository). Do not use plugin registry (or maybe that is not so important, I'm not sure).


Open project

File->Open Project. Netbeans should recognise your ping folder as a maven 2 project automatically (should be illustrated with an icon on the folder). Select the ping folder and "Open Project Folder".


Coffee break

If everything went ok, you should have a nice view of the project. Reward yourself with a cup of coffee and admire your achievement.


Run a maven command

Right click on the PING(pom), Run lifecycle phase->install. If you have all the plugins correctly installed in your repository path and Netbeans recognises the path, everything should work.
