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
  • No labels
