Proxy public repositories

Create file $HOME/.sbt/repositories with the following content

[repositories]
  local
  proxy-ivy: http://115.28.15.44:8080/nexus/content/groups/proxy-ivy/, [organization]/[module]/(scala_[scalaVersion]/)(sbt_[sbtVersion]/)[revision]/[type]s/[artifact](-[classifier]).[ext]
  proxy-maven: http://115.28.15.44:8080/nexus/content/groups/proxy-maven/
  kernelogic-public: http://115.28.15.44:8080/nexus/content/groups/public/

Create file $HOME/.sbt/.credentials with the following content

realm=Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager
host=115.28.15.44
user=public
password=ASK PETER FU FOR THE PASSWORD

Create file $HOME/.sbt/0.13/plugins/credentials.sbt with the following content

credentials += Credentials(Path.userHome / ".sbt" / ".credentials")

Use param -Dsbt.override.build.repos=true to start play console

This step might be optional.

play -Dsbt.override.build.repos=true

Trouble shooting

Sometimes it fails to download the artifacts when proxy is on and HTTP authentication is needed by the proxy repository.

        tried http://115.28.15.44:8080/nexus/content/groups/proxy-ivy/com.typesafe.activator/activator-launcher/1.2.2/ivys/ivy.xml
try to get credentials for: Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager@115.28.15.44
authentication: k='Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager@115.28.15.44' c='null'
HTTP response status: 401 url=http://115.28.15.44:8080/nexus/content/groups/proxy-ivy/com.typesafe.activator/activator-launcher/1.2.2/ivys/ivy.xml
CLIENT ERROR: Unauthorized url=http://115.28.15.44:8080/nexus/content/groups/proxy-ivy/com.typesafe.activator/activator-launcher/1.2.2/ivys/ivy.xml

Workaround: run the following command before run play

• Windows: SET SBT_CREDENTIALS=%HOMEPATH%\.sbt\.credentials
• Mac OS: export SBT_CREDENTIALS=~/.sbt/.credentials

Development environment setup

XAMPP

• Download latest XAMPP from https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html
• Install it

JDK 7

• Download latest JDK 7 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
• Install it
• Environment variable
  • Set JAVA_HOME to the newly installed JDK 7 folder

Eclipse 4.3.2

Scala IDE doesn't fully support Eclipse 4.4 (Luna/Cocoa), in order to make all Play related feature functional, please use Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler). STS doesn't provide a bundle installer for previous version of Eclipse, so STS update site archive should be used in this case.

• Download Eclipse Standard 4.3.2 from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/Kepler/SR2
• Download Spring Tool Suite update site archive for Eclipse 4.3.2 from http://spring.io/tools/sts/all
• Install Spring Tool Suite in Eclipse
• Install Scala IDE from update site http://download.scala-ide.org/sdk/helium/e38/scala210/stable/site ** Check Scala IDE for Eclipse > Scala IDE for Eclipse ** Check Scala IDE plugins (incubation) > Play2 support in Scala IDE

Play-2.2.3

• Download Play-2.2.3 from http://www.playframework.com
• Unzip it
• Environment variable
  • Add PLAY_HOME to the unzipped folder of Play
  • Add PLAY_HOME to PATH

Run the application

Create a database

• Run the following command to create a database

CREATE DATABASE  `spepms` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

Specify a different application.conf file

This step is optional

• Create a folder named config (already ignored by .gitignore)
• Create a file named application-dev.conf, and make it start with

include "../conf/application.conf"

• Override the default configurations in application-dev.conf
• Start Play using the following command

play -Dconfig.file=config/application-dev.conf
