Clickframes

Install Java & Maven

Java 1.6 is required for using Clickframes. Check the version of Java installed on your computer:

java -version

If you don’t have Java installed, you can get Java 1.6 from http://www.java.com/en/download.

Clickframes uses Maven to build projects. If you don’t have Maven installed, you can download it from http://maven.apache.org/download.html and follow the installation instructions toward the bottom of that page—it’s usually as simple as unzipping the download into a directory and adding Maven’s bin directory to your PATH environment variable.

After installing Maven, you should be able to run the following command:

$ mvn -version
Maven version: 2.0.9
Java version: 1.6.0_10
OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.23.15-137.fc8" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"


Download Quickstart Package

The PHP Quickstart download contains a fully operational Maven project, ready to customize and run. The provided appspec describe an “Issue Tracker” application. This demo app is a good way to kick the tires, and a good template for creating your own appspecs.

1. Download the latest Quickstart ZIP package from the Google Code downloads page.
2. Unzip it somewhere. By default, the contents appear in a subdirectory called php-quickstart.
3. Open your command line, go to the php-quickstart directory, and run mvn clickframes:gen
