A little help to get you started with FoundationDB

(in part to help with Friday's FoundationDB hackathon in Charlottesville VA that you should come to!)

This project is some scaffolding to help you get started with FoundationDB in Java, including:

• A script to install FoundationDB's [client jars] (http://foundationdb.com/get/) into your pom repo
• A pom.xml with the FoundationDB jars listed as dependencies
• A maven project to hack on FoundationDB ideas, equiped with a "Hello World" in com.o19s.Example

To use

1. Sign-up to get FoundationDB and download the FoundationDB server and java client jars

2. Install/Launch FoundationDB on your Ubuntu 12.04 machine.

3. Install the FoundationDB client jars in your mvn repository:

   ./mvn_install_fdbclients.sh fdb-java-0.2.1-2-linux-x64.jar fdb-java-0.2.1-3-javadoc.jar`

4. Optionally bootstrap a Linux project to import into Eclipse

   mvn eclipse

5. Build/Run via Maven

   mvn compile mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.o19s.Example"

6. Explore the javadocs, etc, have fun!
