Here are the steps to install and start beebox on Windows, Linux or Mac Os X


1-Install a Java JDK (ex. c:\javajdk). Note that a JDK is required and that a JRE is not supported
2-Download BeeboxConsoleWeb-3.0.3.7.war to a folder (ex. c:\beebox)
3-Open a "Command prompt" or "Terminal" and type the following commands : 
 set JAVA_HOME=c:\javajdk set PATH=c:\javajdk\bin cd c:\beebox java -jar BeeboxConsoleWeb-3.0.3.7.war

On windows if your JDK folder contains white spaces please place it between quotes
ex. set JAVA_HOME="c:\Program Files\jdk"

On Linux and Mac Os X use "export" command instead of "set"
ex. export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
4-Go to http://localhost:8080/beebox, user/password is beebox/beebox

CONGRATULATIONS !

Beebox is ready to compile and deploy with ant, maven2, an http server, a mini web container and a eclipse plugin ready to install !


 

Here are the steps to install the eclipse plugin, add a project to beebox and compile it


1-Start eclipse and install beebox plugin from http://localhost:8080/beebox/eclipse. Restart eclipse when asked.
2-Right-Click on selected projects to import in beebox, choose "Beebox->Link to beebox" and follow the wizard (user/password is beebox/beebox)
3-Optional : If your project has other build container than the JRE : Right-Click and choose "Beebox->Synchronize containers"
4-Go to http://localhost:8080/beebox, user/password is beebox/beebox
5-Add a build to the "Build" section
6-Add a workflow to the "Workflow" section

8-When the workflow becomes completed, Right-Click on the step tab to view logs and binaries


IMPORTANT


1-The first build might be long because maven downloads lots of jars.
2-If you are behind a proxy copy C:\beebox\soft\apache-maven-2.2.1\conf\settings.xml to $HOME\.m2\settings.xml and modify proxy configuration. See maven2 doc
3-On windows, if you select text in the dos box the process pauses itself hit enter/return key once or twice
