Bemeister Knowledge is the key

The complete development environment looks like this:

• JDK 1.5 update 16 (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp)
• Maven 2 (http://maven.apache.org/download.html [2.0.9])
• Subversion (SVN)
• Eclipse Ganymede JEE edition (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/)
  • plugin: m2eclipse = maven integration (update site: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/)
  • plugin: subclipse = svn integration (update site: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x)
• Alfresco labs 3b
  • For development within Eclipse we will use Alfresco source version 3205 which looks like labs 3b. (already prepared including source as maven install script)
  • For production-like testing or initial investigation we will use Alfresco labs 3b. (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Labs_3#Windows_download_and_ins...).
    The Mini Setup will do since we already have a JDK and we will download Open Office separately. For those who already have Open Office, that's one step less.
  • MySQL 5.0: (http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.67-win32.zip/from...)
  • Open Office 2.4: (http://download.openoffice.org/2.4.2/other.html#en-US)

For my students, I will foresee a CD with the required software, just to avoid spending to much time in downloading it all several times.
