[jira] Created: (JCR-296) More details for beginners
More details for beginners
--------------------------
Key: JCR-296
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-296
Project: Jackrabbit
Type: Wish
Reporter: Celina Konito
Hi everyone,
I'm one of these beginners trying to make their way in Jackrabbit and content repositories universe.
Besides the fact that there exist but very few examples on Jackrabbit use, all of them, including the official web site of Jackrabbit miss few details, simple though essential, for beginners.
My first point is the following: once Jackrabbit source is checked out and built, time to test it using simple examples. But, where to put the example directory from the beginning. How to run it (maven java:compile....) ?
A second point is the fact that there is no help forum on the Jackrabbit web site.
A third point, taking my case as an example, the example would just not create a new workspace configuration.
And many other troubleshoots - I repeat - basic but essential, that could avoid dozens of wasted hours and discouragment, if just mentioned on the website.
Here it is my wish :-) for the best of Jackrabbit ;-) I hope!
Regards,
Celina

The example is unfortunately out of date, the Jackrabbit build system
underwent a few changes during last summer and nobody noticed to
update the First Hops page to reflect that. Thanks for pointing the
problem out!

The jackrabbit-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar is the one you need. The
jackrabbit-commons jar contains a subset of the classes in the main
jackrabbit jar and is used as a source of common functionality for
other JCR applications.

The o.a.j.core.jndi package should be included in the
jackrabbit-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. Are you sure your classpath includes the
correct jar files?

I just think it would be a good idea.
Beginner's questions are always lost in more advanced questions and are
considered as of minor priority. Although, sometimes (if not always) when
resolving these minor problem, we can finally make the most progress....

A beginner question
Posted by sir�ne vip <si...@hotmail.com>.
Hello....again,
I'm using JBuilder as a development environment.
I have the following problems:
1. I cannot find "jackrabbit-commons-1.0-dev.jar",
"jackrabbit-api-1.0-dev.jar" and "jackrabbit-core-1.0-dev.jar" in target/lib
as mentioned in First Hops example.
However, I have in $HOME_Directory\.maven\repository,
jackrabbit-commons-1.0-SNAPSHOT and jackrabbit-1.0-SNAPSHOT thanks to maven
jar:install.
2. I included in a lib folder all the dependencies required for Jackrabbit
as well as the above jars. Still it cannot find the pakage
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Regards.

-----------------------------------
Thanks for raising the issue! You are absolutely correct, the available documentation is not very beginner-friendly. I'll take a look at the issues you raised.
About having a help forum on the web site: We are currently using on the jackrabbit-dev mailing list as the forum for asking questions as well as discussing Jackrabbit issues. Would there be interest in for example setting up a part of the Jackrabbit wiki as an easier-to-approach Q/A forum for new users?

[jira] Resolved: (JCR-296) More details for beginners
Posted by "Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-296?page=all ]
Jukka Zitting resolved JCR-296:
-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Made the following improvements:
- Updated and clarified the First Hops document
- Created a questions and answers page on the Jackrabbit wiki
- Improved the "Getting Started" section of the Jackrabbit documentation page
It's not much, but hopefully better than nothing. :-)
PS. If you (or anyone else) have ideas of good examples to be included on the Jackrabbit web site, please file a Jira issue for those!
