Introduction

Description​

A basic starting project (template) for Java applications developed on the Ewon JTK using Maven.

This project is intended to replace the functionality provided by the Ewon JTK's build.xml Ant build file for projects, and improve upon the development experience by providing a more modern build system and project structure.

Getting Started​

To get started, please refer to the Quick Start Guide. This guide provides instructions for using the template, configuring the Maven POM file, and configuring the Docusaurus documentation.

Additional information about the template, Maven POM file, and Docusaurus documentation can be found on the various pages under the 'Setup' section of the website menu.

Features​

Adds Apache Maven for build management​

  • Improved dependency management

A supported JDK is automatically downloaded and used by Maven for Ewon ETK builds. The downloaded JDK is not installed on the system and is only used by Maven for Ewon ETK builds.

Simplifies developer setup​

  • OS-independent
  • No need to install the Ewon ETK or other dependencies
  • No requirement for an older, specific version of Java

Extends Ewon JTK development to more IDEs​

info

Any IDE that supports Maven projects may be used. IDEs which are not listed above have not been tested and may require additional configuration and/or plugins.

Improves documentation experience​

  • Open-source, Docusaurus-based documentation platform
