Obtain Software
---------------

All the software are available online. You may also get all the
software and the screen capture videos from the MSDNAA software
computer in the CS department office. The files are under the
"CS520 Summer 2008 Software" folder on the Windows Desktop. The
total size of the files is about 300MB. You need to bring with
you a flash drive or a writable CD.

Quick Notes on Setting Up a Development Environment (for Wind2K/XP)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

JDK
. 1.5 or above
. http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
. set JAVA_HOME environment variable to the directory where you installed JDK 
. add the bin directory to your path

Ant
. http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi
. unzip it to a directory
. set ANT_HOME environment variable to that directory
. add the bin directory to your path

Subversion
. http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91
. download the latest svn-<version_number>-setup.exe
. add the bin directory to your path if it's not already there

PostgreSQL
. http://www.postgresql.org/
. download the latest binary release.
. install
  - deselect the Application Stack Builder option
  - select the Developlment option
  - select UTF8 for Encoding (Server)
  - everything else left to default
. post-installation
  it's recommended that you don't use the PostgreSQL superuser account,
  e.g. postgres, to perform day-to-day database operations, so create
  another user, e.g. cysun, and a database with the same name as the
  user.

Tomcat
. need 6.0.x
. download from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi
. get the zip package
. unzip
. download the PostgreSQL JDBC driver (postgresql-<version_number>.jdbc4.jar)
  from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html, and put it under the
  lib folder of the Tomcat directory.

Eclipse
. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
. get the one that says "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers"
. install the Subclipse plugin
    Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install ... ->
    Search for New Features to Install -> New Remote Site
       name: Subclipse
       url: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x
    Finish ->
    Select Subclipse under Subclipse, i.e. not Mylar Integration ->
    click, click, ...
. install the Logfile Viewer pluging. the update site doesn't seem
  to work any more, so you'll need to download it at
  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=165492
  and install it as a "Local Site" in Eclipse.

CSNS
. follow the instructions in the Development section of the CSNS
  Developer's Guide at
  http://sun.calstatela.edu/csns/doc/guides/developer/index.html
. if you get the dreaded "HTTP Status 404" screen, try the following:
  - make sure you followed every step in the guide
  - double check the ant builder
  - refresh the project a couple of times
  - restart the server
  - check the log files
  and if you cannot figure out what's wrong, post your problem in the
  class forum.
