Setup

An Inventory of Tools

In this section we will go through how to acquire and use the following tools, which will be necessary for developing Errai and following along with the rest of the tutorial:

  • JDK (6 or 7)

  • Maven (3.x)

  • WildFly 10 (Optional — necessary for production, but not development mode)

  • Eclipse IDE (with the M2E plugin)

Although it is possible to use counterparts for some of these tools, we encourage you to use the suggested tools on your first go.

JDK

We recommend you use a version 7 of the Oracle JDK or the OpenJDK.

You can find Oracle’s JDK here.

You can find instructions for installing the OpenJDK on several Linux distributions here.

Maven

Maven is a dependency management tool that we will use to build our Errai Application. In order to install and use Maven, you will need to have the JDK installed. It’s important to make sure you have version 3 installed. Run mvn --version on the command line to check.

Go here to download the latest version of Maven and follow the installation instructions.

WildFly

Wildlfy is an Application Server which we will use to host our Errai Application locally. In the tutorial we will be using WildFly 10.0.0.Final.

You can download a zip file with WildFly 10 here. No installation is necessary. Simply unzip it to wherever you would like the application’s directory to be located.

Eclipse IDE with the M2E Plugin

Eclipse is an Integrated Development Environment that you can use to develop an Errai Application. It is not necessary to use Eclipse for development, but specific features of Eclipse will be used in parts of this tutorial. The M2E plugin adds support for Maven integration with Eclipse.

If you do not have Eclipse, you can find a version of Eclipse Kepler with the M2E plugin here.

If you already have Eclipse installed but do not have the M2E plugin, you can find it in the Eclipse Marketplace (Help > Eclipse Marketplace) by searching for "Maven Integration" or by going here and dragging the "install" link into your running instance of Eclipse.

What’s Next?

Now that you have everything installed, you’re ready to try running an Errai Application locally. To find out how, go to the next section.
