This file will help you to run last version of KnowledgeQuiz from CVS.
To compile and run KnowledgeQuiz you may need Java 6 and Tomcat 6. I recommend using Eclipse.
This are steps:
Java.
Of course, first of all, you need Java SDK. Download 6.0 version from http://java.sun.com
Eclipse.
You can now download Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers from eclipse.org: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ (e.g. eclipse-jee-ganymede-win32.zip).
Add Tomcat 6 runtime.
Go to Preferences page, then Server>Runtime environments (from the left). Add new Apache Tomcat v6.0.
CVS repository.
Start Eclipse, select workspace (create new), Create and Set new CVS Repository to:
(optional) Make the Web Page Editor the default editor for JSP pages (explained here).
The JSF Tools Project-contributed Web Page Editor (WPE) is NOT registered as the default editor for JSP files. You can make the WPE the
default editor for JSP files by following these steps:
In the "Associated editors" section, select "Web Page Editor"
Select the "Default" button
Libraries.
Now you need to download some libraries, including Apache Derby, Apache Commons, Apache Tomahawk, Hibernate, JSF, JSTL and so on... To simplify this proccess you can download all of them from here: KnowledgeQuiz libs. Extract them somewhere.
Register JSF libraries (explained here).
This feature allows for a named sets of jars to be created for
use with JSF Applications. We will be creating a library containing the
Sun JSF RI
Select Windows->Preferences->Web and XML (or only Web, if exists)->->JavaServer Faces
Tools->Libraries. Click on the New.. button to add a new library.
Add jars from "SUN-RI-1.2.zip" and name it "SUN-RI-1.2". Check the is
JSF Implementation check box when adding the Sun JSF RI library.
Create another JSF Library called JSTL (explained here).
It has the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library jar (use JSTL.zip). Uncheck the is
JSF Implementation check box when adding the Sun JSF RI library.
Register other libraries (JPA, Apache, etc.).
Select Windows->Preferences->Java->->Build Path->User Libraries. Click on the New.. button to add a new library.
Add jars from "KnowledgeQuiz-Libs.zip" and name it "KnowledgeQuiz-Libs".
Now add Java, Web and JPA nature to the project.
Right click on the project, select Properties, go to "Targeted Runtimes", select "Apache Tomcat 6.0" check box, then click "OK".
Repeat steps to "Targeted Runtimes", then click "Uninstall Facets..." on the bottom of the page and select "Dynamic Web Module 2.5", "Java 6.0" and "Java Persistence 1.0". On the next few dialogs select to use JPA implementation library called "KnowledgeQuiz-Libs".
Now add JSF nature to the project.
Right click on the project, select Properties, go to "Targeted Runtimes", then "Uninstall Facets..." on the bottom of the page and select "JavaServer Faces 1.2". On "JSF Capabilities" dialog
select JSF libraries: "SUN-RI-1.2"
Check the Deploy check box
Move JSTL from left to right in "Component Libraries"
Remove "URL Mapping Pattern" /faces/* and add /tests/* instead
Now you are ready... Relax for a few moments!
Rebuild project.
Project->Clean...
Try running login.jsp "on server".
Then go to login page (probably) at http://localhost:8080/KnowledgeQuiz/
You can now export project from Eclipse to WAR and distribute it.
(opitonal) You can install ResourceBundle Editor plugin for Eclipse to make proccess of internationalization of this project much more simple. Download it from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-rbe/.
