Building from Source Code

The easiest way to clone the project and build ut from the source code is using the e-git plugin for Eclipse with Eclipse EE. If you don't already have it you can download Eclipse EE from (https://www.eclipse.org/downloads) and the plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace. Once the plugin is installed show the Git Repositories view by selecting Windows->Show View->Other->Git Repositories. Then from the Git Repositories view select Clone Git Repository and enter the URI for this repository and follow the prompts to clone the source code.

Once the you've cloned the repository select File->Import->Maven->Existing Maven Projects and click next. Then select the location of the cloned repository and click finish to import the project into eclipse.

Now that the project is in eclipse open up a command line window and navigate to the directory ../JDeSurvey/JDeSurvey-all and run maven clean and then run maven install.

You will then need to copy the JDESURVEY directory from the repository to the root of the file system and edit the ../JDESURVEY/Config/configurations.properties file for your database connection, base URL, and email settings.

The last step to get the application running is to create a new database on your database server and run one of the database scripts provide in the repository directory PopulateScripts. This will depend on the database you are using, but for example if you are using MySQL you would run the JDSurvey_InitialPopulation.sql file. This script establishes one administrator user account with the user name admin and password P@ssword1 for security reasons you should immediately create a new administrative account and delete this one.
