Building Geomajas using Maven

From the directory where you put Geomajas, run "mvn install".

After the build is done, 2 web applications are available to you: one using the Dojo face, and one using the GWT face. These are regular web applications that are self-consistent and can be deployed on a servlet engine like Tomcat 6.

Dojo face

For the Dojo face, the file geomajas-dojo-example-1.5.4.war should be available in the geomajas-dojo-example/target folder.

The easiest way to run this example is using the following commands

$ mvn jetty:run

You can now run the example application by going to http://localhost:8080/.

GWT face
