VideoShop - A Salespoint example project

Build Status

Purpose of this sample project is to make students familiar with basic technologies they’re going to use during the Software Engineering Lab at Technical University of Dresden.

Quickstart

Note
The Quickstart requires Java 17 and a recent Git (2.20 or newer preferred) to be available on your machine. If you miss any of those go through the steps described in Prerequisites. Also, note that you have to run mvnw.cmd instead of ./mvnw if you run Windows by accident.
$ git clone https://github.com/st-tu-dresden/videoshop
$ cd videoshop
$ ./mvnw clean package
$ ./mvnw spring-boot:run

After that point your browser to http://localhost:8080.

Note that the standard admin user is named boss and has the password 123.

Prerequisites

Java 17

Download the binaries, install. Make sure the console shows something like this:

$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.4.1" 2022-08-12
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.4.1+1 (build 17.0.4.1+1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-17.0.4.1+1 (build 17.0.4.1+1, mixed mode)

Make sure that the wrapped Maven picks up the same JDK version and that the following command shows similar output:

$ ./mvnw --version
Apache Maven 3.8.6 (84538c9988a25aec085021c365c560670ad80f63)
Maven home: /Users/martin/.m2/wrapper/dists/apache-maven-3.8.6-bin/67568434/apache-maven-3.8.6
Java version: 17.0.4.1, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "mac os x", version: "12.6", arch: "aarch64", family: "mac"

Git

Download the binaries, run the installer. Verify the command line shows something like this after install:

$ git --version
git version 2.33.0

IDE Setup

Eclipse

Grab the latest Spring Tool Suite (plain Eclipse should work as well), run installer or unzip and run it.

Select File  Import, select Maven  Existing Maven Projects, select the folder you checked the project out into and hit Finish. This will import the project into your workspace.

In the Console view you might wanna click the Open Console button and select Maven Console to see that Maven is downloading dependencies, sources and Javadocs.

IntelliJ

Grab the latest IntelliJ IDEA IDE (both Community Edition and Ultimate Edition will work), install it according to the instructions on their website and run it.

From the Welcome Screen, select Open. Otherwise, if you’ve already opened another project, you’ll need to select File  Open…. Now, navigate to the folder you checked the project out into (it should contain pom.xml), select it and hit Open. When asked whether to trust and open the Maven project, proceed with Trust Project.

Now you have to wait a bit while IntelliJ and Maven work on importing the project, which includes downloading all required dependencies from the internet. All IDE activities are displayed in the status bar.
