Gora uses git distributed version tracking. Source code for gora resides in GitHub server. To checkout the code from git use
$ git clone git://github.com/enis/gora.git
adding changes to local repository can be done like $ touch first.txt $ git add . $ git commit -m "added first.txt file"
then to send the changes(local commits to the server) use $git push
to fetch and merge the updates to the server use $git pull origin master
Gora uses ant and ivy as the build tool and dependency manager respectively. Install ant (on debian systems) $ sudo apt-get install ant ivy is downloaded and installed at first build.
To build the project
$cd gora $ant
which will build all the modules in the project and deploys the jar files to local ivy repository. To build a specific module, cd to that module and run ant there.
Gora project uses modular architecture. Each module has its own directory under top-level. The gore-core module contains most of the shared code between the modules.
Dependency management is handled by ivy. Required libraries are specified at ivy.xml files. Default configuration uses the official maven repository. Libraries not found on the maven repository is distributed along the module under lib-ext dir.
Gora is a modular project, so every module has to be imported to Eclipse separately. First start with gora-core, File -> New -> Project -> Java Project from Existing Ant Buildfile -> select gora-core/build.xml. Repeat for every module you wish to develop. Also add dependency to the gora-core project.
Gora is currently developed by a small team. The contributers of Gora can be found at http://wiki.github.com/enis/gora/who-we-are
