Gnowsis Kaukoluwiki Eclipse Developing
Setup Gnowsis development environment
First of all checkout all projects comprised of Gnowsis (SVN):
Checkout Aperture, which is also necessary for Gnowsis (CVS):
- Host: aperture.cvs.sourceforge.net
- repository path: /cvsroot/aperture
- connection type: pserver
- user: anonymous
- default port
Now you can start Gnowsis for the first time. Execute Run.... You can choose the appropiate configuration to launch Gnowsis.
Setup Kaukoluwiki development environment
First, read the kaukoluwiki website (ignore the installation instructions. Instead, use the installation details below):
Then, checkout the wiki from SVN:
You have two projects in your workspace:
- kaukoluwiki
- kaukolu
The project kaukolu is a "web-wiki". The project kaukoluwiki is some kind of "desktop wiki" (desktop version of kaukolu) which is used by Gnowsis. It uses the basic functionality provided by the "web wiki" (kaukolu) and adds extenstions to it. So Gnowsis Kaukoluwiki consits of the core done by the project kaukolu from opendfki and our own extensions provided by the project kaukoluwiki. The JSP GUI of Gnowsis is a template which is located in the kaukoluwiki project.
Important notes regarding the two projects:
- The JSP pages provided by the project kaukolu are delivered precompiled in a jar file.
- The JSP pages provided by the project kaukoluwiki (Gnowsis) are located in a template folder: kaukoluwiki/service/kaukoluwiki/templates/gnowsis/
- While Gnowsis is running you can alter these JSP pages in the template folder. On a reload an altered JSP page will be recompiled.
- Features which are important for the "web wiki" and for the "Gnowsis wiki" are provided in kaukolu.
Compiling kaukolu and kaukoluwiki
To compile:
- run the build.xml in kaukolu - target gnowsis-prepare
- run the build.xml in kaukoluwiki - target dist-fromkaukolu
Be careful when you run the ant files after changes
The second build target is quite tricky. It moves the SVN files to a save place and will delete all changes you did inside the /service/ folder of kaukoluwiki, so see you have copied your changes (in JSP files or web.xml) to the corresponding files in /src/.
