The developer environment can be set in any Operating System (Linux, Windows, etc.) since it is a multi-platform system, but Linux is recommended, because is what it is being used.


Nota idea.png We've released Portable OpenKM development environment, we encourage windows users use it. At the present still we do not have one for linux users.


Nota clasica.png Youtube - How to install OpenKM developement guide video

You need to install Maven, eclipse IDE and some plugins. For OpenKM 4.0 and 5.0 you have these requirements:


Nota clasica.png Starting from Eclipse Galileo you have a Marketplace accessible from Help > Eclipse Marketplace... Here you can search for "maven" to install the "Maven Integration for Eclipse" and "Maven Integration for Eclipse (Extras)" solutions. Also you can search for "subversion" to find the "Subclipse" plugin. See Eclipse Indigo - Maven and Svn.


Nota idea.png The easier way to get an Eclipse installation with the required plugins is using JBoss Developer Studio.

Once all them are installed, you can download OpenKM and build it.

Note: You can configure Eclipse to integrate with MantisBT. Read Mylyn-Mantis Repository Connector for more info.

Eclipse Development Quick Install Guide

This quick install is valid for Eclipse Indigo.

  1. Download Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.
  2. Go to Help > Eclipse Marketplace and install these plugins:
    1. Maven Integration for Eclipse
    2. Subclipse

Alternative: Add repository

Know problems

When you build application on windows you can get the error create process error 206 the filename or extension is too long this is caused to a Windows OS limitation. To solve it is needed move .m2 repository to c:\ then go to Eclipse > Windows/Preferences/Maven/User Settings -> Create your own setting.xml with this content:

<settings>
  <localRepository>c:/.m2/repository</localRepository>
</settings>
