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.

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 Helios 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.


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 Connectofor more info.

  2. Go to Help > Eclipse Marketplace and install these plugins:
    1. Maven Integration for Eclipse
