SVN Checkout

We will assume you have an Eclipse environment with an SVN plugin (subclipse, subversive, ...) available. The first thing we will do is add the geomajas subversion repository to the known list of repositories in your Eclipse workspace.

Note: the author of this page is using subversive. This may reflect on the content.

Installing the geomajas SVN repository

Open the SVN Repositories perspective:

In Eclipse use:Window -> Open Perspective -> SVN Repository Exploring

Find the "SVN Repositories" tab, and right click:

Right mouse click -> New -> Repository Location ...

The following window will appear:

Fill in the following location:

https://svn.geomajas.org/majas

Checking out the code

The next step is to use this repository to check out it's contents to your file system. In the SVN perspective, open the new repository and navigate to the 1.4.0 tag :

Now you have a choice! In principle you need only the "majas-tutorial" directory you see here, but you can also check out the other directories. The "majas-core" directory contains the server side java code, while the "majas-js" directory contains the client side javascript. Using the "majas-maven" directory, you can do a maven build which builds the other three. If you check out all 4 directories, this will enable you to debug through the original geomajas code, when you are creating you own application.

We will now show how to check out the majas-tutorial. If you whish you can check out the other directories similarly:

Select the majas-tutorial, and right click on it:
