How to get the source code and build the tool

• BlogWow works on Sakai 2.2.x or higher, it will NOT work on earlier versions

1. Change to your sakai source directory (e.g. /opt/<sakai-src>/)
2. Checkout the most recent stable version (in this case 0.9.9)
   Run svn checkout https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/programmerscafe/blogwow/trunktags/0.9.9 blogwow
   1. subversion will create a blogwow directory for you, you can use any directory name you like, just change the last blogwow into the word you want.
3. Add entity broker project (required)
   • If you are running Sakai 2.5.0 then entitybroker 1.2.0 is already included
   1. Checkout entity broker 1.2.0 (or highest tag) into your sakai source directory (use subclipse or the command below)
      svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/caretsvn/entitybroker/tags/1.02/ entity-broker entitybroker
   2. Build entity broker using maven sakai from within the entity-broker folder entitybroker folder
      • If you are using maven 2 then run mvn clean install sakai:deploy
4. Change to blogwow source directory (e.g. /opt/<sakai-src>/blogwow)
5. Run maven sakai
   • This will download all needed jars and compile the source code
   • You may need to add the following repositories to your maven build.properties get all needed jars:
     1. http://source.sakaiproject.org/maven/
     2. http://www2.caret.cam.ac.uk/maven
     3. http://ponder.org.uk/maven
   • If you are using maven 2 then run mvn clean install sakai:deploy
6. Start tomcat and check the log for errors, there should be none if all jars were downloaded and installed correctly
