In the previous post I built WorldClock using just the command line, this time I’ll use Maven for compiling.

1. Get Maven

sudo apt-get install maven2

Set JAVA_HOME to Jigsaw, so that Maven uses Jigsaw:

export JAVA_HOME=~/dev/jigsaw/build/linux-i586/jdk-module-image

(last updated 2010-06-20)

Moving on from Hello World to WorldClock, a simple multimodules application.

1. Get the source

Install Subversion:

sudo apt-get install subversion

Create the directories:

mkdir -p ~/dev/worldclock

 Get the source:

cd ~/dev/worldclock
svn checkout https://worldclock-application.dev.java.net/svn/worldclock-application/tags/application6-jigsaw ~/dev/worldclock/application –username guest

Following my building Jigsaw post, here are the instructions for a Hello World module:

1. Create the project structure

mkdir -p ~/dev/hello/src/hello/lh/hello
mkdir -p ~/dev/hello/build

2. Create the Main class

use: gedit ~/dev/hello/src/hello/lh/hello/Main.java &
