 Community preview release

Geomajas 1.5.2 is a community preview release, stabilizing both the Dojo and GWT faces as much as possible, and at the same time a preview showcasing the progress we are making toward our next stable build.

The major advances in this version include:

  • Internationalisation fully supported in GWT face, and server side exception handling
  • Addition of feature search
  • Addition of a scale select in the GWT face.
  • Numerous bugfixes (53 in total)

The documentation for this release can be found at:

http://files.geomajas.org/maven/1.5.2/geomajas/userguide.html

For the next release, we plan to include the following features:

  • Finalization of the module structure
  • Addition of a security API + example implementation

Please note that this is an unstable release, all the new features since the previous stable release may still change and some new bugs may have been introduced.

Source & build notes

 

Getting the source

What you need:

We use subversion for source version control, so 'll need a subversion client. To build the software, we use maven. We recommend maven version 2.2.1 or above. See the Apache Maven site for more information.

Get the Source Code:

To get the source code for release 1.5.2 do:

$ svn checkout https://svn.geomajas.org/majas/tags/1.5.2 geomajas
 

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-1.5.2.war should be available in the geomajas-dojo-example/target folder.

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

$ cd geomajas-dojo-example
$ mvn jetty:run

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

GWT face

For the GWT face, the file geomajas-gwt-simple-1.5.2.war should be available in the geomajas-gwt-simple/target folder.

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

$ cd geomajas-gwt-simple
$ mvn jetty:run-war

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