Getting Started

Requirements

Before coding, you should download and install the following development tools if needed :
  • Java 7
  • Maven 3
  • A Java and Javascript IDE. If you don't know which IDE to chose, Netbeans is recommended since it is free and has great Java and Javascript capabilities.

Project templates

The easiest way to start is to use RESThub archetypes to create your first HTML5 application. Just open a command line terminal, and type :

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://nexus.pullrequest.org/content/repositories/releases/

Or if you want to use bleeding edge branch :

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://nexus.pullrequest.org/content/repositories/snapshots/
You will have to choose between the following RESThub archetypes :
  • resthub-jpa-webservice-archetype : simple webservice project with JPA persistence
  • resthub-mongodb-webservice-archetype : simple webservice project with MongoDB persistence
  • resthub-jpa-backbonejs-archetype : simple HTML5 web application with JPA persistence
  • resthub-mongodb-backbonejs-archetype : simple HTML5 web application with MongoDB persistence
  • resthub-jpa-backbonejs-multimodules-archetype : Multimodules HTML5 web application with JPA persistence (TODO)
  • resthub-mongodb-backbonejs-multimodules-archetype : Multimodules HTML5 web application with MongoDB persistence (TODO)

After choosing the right archetype and answering a few questions, your project is generated and ready to use. You can run it thanks to built-in Jetty support :

mvn jetty:run

Example application
