About the project

• You must do a maven build from the commandline before using WTP
• For convenience, the project is set to build using the Eclipse Java builder, which does not use maven. If you want to update dependencies via maven or just be sure that the project is being built correctly, you must build using maven from the command line: mvn clean install - the Java builder does not completely build the project, but only builds the class files, ftl files, and properties files.
• You can use the maven builder from inside eclipse, but be warned - it's annoying, as it touches many files, causing Eclipse to frequently pop up dialog boxes.

• In the Navigator pane, right click on the project
• Select Builders
• Uncheck the Java builder to disable it.
• Check the Maven2 builder to enable it.
• Now you can right-click on the project, and select the M2 menu for maven goals.

• The project uses PMD and FindBugs as poka-yoke (mistake proofing) tools to help us catch bugs before checking them into svn.

Building

• From the command line

• mvn clean install will build the project, placing the war in the target/ directory. This will run the acceptance tests. To run only the unit tests, run 'mvn clean test'. To run only the acceptance tests, run 'mvn integration-test'.
