Described here is a rough idea of what we are thinking of as deliverables.

Dev Stack

The dev stack is made up of everything a developer would need to develop an app on their workstation, including:

• Pre-configured Tomcat, JBoss, MySQL, Eclipse & plugins
• Maven, Junit, Webunit

Application Skeleton

A skeleton to start developing your apps

• Maven configured for building the app
• Spring, Hibernate, etc preconfigured
• UI stack
• SDK components

Sample apps

Some sample apps that use our services, etc

• Spring's PetClinic app configured to use our stuff

SDK Components

Pieces of functionality that people can use to build apps with, including things such as:

• Web service libraries to talk to MIT services
• Sash libraries - Hibernate, Struts, Spring, Tiles
• Maven, Junit, Webunit
• Acegi

UI stack

• Preconfigured generic layout for css
• Preconfigured struts and tiles configs
• Dojo js library

Hosted Project Tools

A set of tools used for development, sort of like an MIT-Forge, hosted on one of our servers, each project having it's own space, including:

• Mailman
• Forum
• Bug tracking
• Wiki
• SVN

Hosted Dev, Test, and Production servers

We would provide a chrooted/virtual server setup for developers to host their apps for dev, test and production, including most of the same setup they have for desktop development.

• Dev Tools Stack - tools that get installed on a person's desktop to develop an app, including Eclipse, Tomcat, etc
• Server Tools Stack - tools that get installed on a dev/test/production server to run an app, including Tomcat, etc
• Collab Tools Stack - tools that get installed on either a dev or other server that are used for group collaboration, e.g. Wiki, SVN, etc

All these stacks will come pre-configured to work with MIT services (like client certs, etc).

Docs

• Docs for all this stuff need to be provided
