Note Follow these instructions carefully to setup your development environment. For each of the applications below, make sure to use the latest release.

Install Maven

• Download the latest version of Maven here
• Extract to "C:\tools\maven-binaries\maven-#.#.#"

Setup the M2 directory

Create a directory in your user home directory (C:\users\USERNAME, C:\docume~1\USERNAME, or \home\USERNAME) called ".m2". On Windows you may not be able to create a directory which starts with a '.' in Windows Explorer so you will have to create it as m2 and rename it from the command prompt:

rename m2 .m2

Setup the settings.xml

• Create a file named settings.xml in your .m2 directory using this template.
• Replace MAVEN_USERNAME and MAVEN_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD where appropriate with your username and an encrypted password. Instructions for encrypting your password can be found here.

Setup the metovaMobilePlugin.xml

• Create a file named metovaMobilePlugin.xml in your .m2 directory using this template. This is for configuring the metova-maven-mobile-plugin. See Configuring the Metova Mobile Plugin for more details.
• Update the <metovaMobilePluginSettings /> in your settings.xml to point to your .m2 directory:

  <settings>
      <profiles>
          <profile>
              ...
              <properties>
                  <metovaMobilePluginSettings>/Users/username/.m2/metovaMobilePlugin.xml</metovaMobilePluginSettings>
              </properties>
          </profile>
      </profiles>
      ...
  </settings>

Set the OS environment variables:

• Set M2_REPO to "C:\Users\username\.m2\repository"

  Be Careful If you are using XP and there are spaces in your home directory use the short directory name. IE: C:\DOCUME~1\username\.m2\repository

• Set MVN_HOME to "C:\tools\maven-binaries\maven-#.#.#"
• Set MAVEN_OPTS to "-Djava.endorsed.dirs=%M2_REPO%/javax/xml/bind/jaxb-api/2.1"
• Add "%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin;%MVN_HOME%/bin" to the beginning of the PATH variable.

Add M2_REPO to the Eclipse classpath

• Go to Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variables
  • Add M2_REPO as "C:\Users\username\.m2\repository"
  • Click OK to go back to preferences

Update the Eclipse preferences

• Go to Run/Debug -> String Substitution
  • Select New
  • Set Name to "mvn"
  • Set Value to "C:\tools\maven-binaries\maven-#.#.#\bin\mvn.bat"
• Go to Team -> Ignored Resources
  • Add the following patterns: "jde", "target", "~*"
