CED2AR uses Maven for build automation. Any IDE with Maven support can compile builds. The development team recommends Eclipse or IntelliJ for Java EE, which comes with Maven and Tomcat plugins for the newer versions.

##Building the Source Code

1. Clone the CED2AR source code to your local environment.
2. Using Eclipse, import the existing Maven project.
3. Select the root directory with the pom.xml configuration file.
4. By default, running Maven install will build CED2AR in the localtemp profile. (See profiles/localtemp).
5. To create a new profile, copy the local folder, and rename it. Change options within the *config.properties files to customize your build.
6. Install Tomcat 7+¹ in your IDE. Ensure that the Java Build Path includes the Tomcat Library.
7. Deploy the BaseX war file directly with the tomcat manager.
8. Run the project on the Tomcat web server. Ensure that the project is functioning before building a WAR.
9. Run Maven build. Enter install as the goal, and select the new profile you created. If desired, save this configuration for later.

After building, CED2AR should produce a WAR archive in the target folder. For deploying the war, some of the notes linked below may be helpful.

1: CED2AR has been tested the most on Tomcat 7, however we also have performed limited testing with Tomcat 9 and did not experience any issues.
