Quick Start (0.9.x)

Create new project based on PetClinic :

mvn archetype:generate  -DarchetypeCatalog=http://deltaset.googlecode.com/hg/repo/

Quick Start (0.8.x)

DeltaSet requires you to download and install:

Java 6 JDK
Apache Maven 2.2.1
Google App Engine SDK for Java 1.3.7 : http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.html

1. Create project :

  mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://deltaset.googlecode.com/svn/maven2/

2. Add domain object :

  mvn -Pdeltaset -Dcmd=crud=Person:[firstName,lastName,birthDate:[@type:date]]

3. Build :

  mvn package

4. Run:

  dev_appserver target\YOUR_APP_NAME

Now... Let's create a small Pet Clinic :

1. Open the script.ds file from the base directory of your project. At the end of the file You will see the model :

  enum=PetType:[cat,dog,fish]
  crud=Owner:[name,pets:[@type:OneToMany<Pet>,@mappedBy:owner]]
  crud=Pet:[name,type:Enum<PetType>,owner:ManyToOne<Owner>]
  enum=VetType:[dogvet,catvet,fishvet]
  crud=Vet:[name,speciality:Enum<VetType>]
  crud=Visit:[day:[@type:date],notes,vet:ManyToOne<Vet>,pet:ManyToOne<Pet>]

2. Change it.. as you like :)

3. Generate :

  mvn -Pdeltaset -Dcmd=file=script.ds

4. Build and run.

Create your own archetype:

You can extremely easy do that, once you have your app.... Just execute :

  mvn install -Darchetype=true

If you want to use your newly created archetype. Just type :

  mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local
