While anyone can come to the workshop, if you want to enjoy the hands-on experience, you'll need a laptop with Java, Maven 2, and Tomcat installed. For those who don't have laptops or can't get these components set up we'll try to pair you with someone else.
- This is the Java Users Group, so hopefully you have Java already, if not you can get it on the JavaWeb site. The demo is using 1.5 but it is fairly easy to change the demo if you want to use 1.4 or 1.6.
- Maven 2 download and installation instructions can be found on the Download Mavenpage.
- You can get Tomcat from the TomcatWeb site. 5.5.x or 6.x should be fine.
We will not spend any substantial meeting time helping people get these components installed, the point is to actually use Maven 2. Please make sure you have these components in place before the meeting. In addition, here are some files specifically for the workshop:
- The sample project
- The itext JAR file
