Info

The tutorial assumes that you have Java JDK (version 1.5.x) and (or higher version number) and Maven already installed.

...

Install Netbeans

Netbeans 5.0 can be downloaded from http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/download.php?type=5.0. Windows users should just click on the netbeans-5_0-windows.exe after download to install netbeans.
Netbeans 5.5 can be downloaded from: http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/index.php

Install Mevenide

Download (do a "save as" on the link) this small autoupdate module.

...

Warning
titleWarning

We use maven 1.0.2 and consequently we use mevenide 1.0, not mevenide 2.x. (You can install both mevenide 1.0 and 2.x simultaneously if you are using maven 2 for some other projects.)

 
To install, start NetBeans and select the Tools -> Update Center.

...


 
Finally click finish to dismiss the dialog.  
 
Now go back to Tools -> Update Center. Select "Check the web ..." and the "Mevenide Update Center" box, only.  Click next. (Note: NetBeans must have access to the Internet for this step to work; make sure proxies and firewalls are configured correctly). Now select the "Mevenide Update Center" node, and click the "Add>" button to move all maven plugins into the righthand box.
 

 
Wait while the modules download, the click "Next>" to continue. 
 

Click the "Include" checkbox for each plugin and then the "Always Accept" button. All of the Maven plugins should have the "Include" box selected, now. Click next.
 

 
Now restart Netbeans.

...

Now check whether all plugins were loaded successfully.

Go to Tools -> Options > Module Manager -> Advanced Options -> IDE Configuration -> System -> Modules -> Maven.

Maven Plugins

All the Maven plugins should have the Enabled box checked.

...

Now you have successfully installed Maven support into Netbeans.

Installing updated code into JAS3

Building the code in netbeans will not automatically cause JAS3 to pick up the latest version. To install the latest version into JAS3 right-click on the org.lcsim project, choose "Execute Custom Goal" then choose "Install_in_JAS3".

Image Added

Note, running this goal on org.lcsim will build org.lcsim, and copy the jar files for org.lcsim, GeomConverter, and other required libraries into your local JAS3 extensions directory. You will need to restart JAS3 for it to pick up these changes.

Turning off tests

If you want to build lcsim.org without running the tests, you can do so by selecting the project in the netbeans project tree, right clicking to get the popup menu and then select "Properties". Then choose "Goal to IDE Action Mappings" and add -Dmaven.test.skip=true to the build goal. This is how I have my settings:
