  3. Build ProjectForge:
    mvn -DskipTests=true install

  4. Run ProjectForge:
    mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.projectforge.web.MyStart" -Dexec.classpathScope=test

  5. Your browser will be opened after start-up automatically:

Please note the detailed documentations for administrators, developers as well as for users.

Java version 1.6 is required since ProjectForge 3.4 Please note, that the Java version 1.6 is needed for the development and the running of ProjectForge. There is no delivery for Java 1.5 planned because some third party libraries are only available for Java 1.6.

Adding your own plugins

ProjectForge support plugins. The existing menu can be modified and own entities and functionalities can be added.

The menu is customizable (you can add or remove menu entries in the config.xml file). Deploy your plugins by adding your(r) jar(s) to the WEB-INF/lib directory. The jars contains both, the Java classes and the web pages (Wicket-pages). Nothing more is needed. Register your plugins in the config.xml file. One advantage is that your own plugins are independent from new releases of the ProjectForge core system. In one of the next releases an example plugin will show you how easy it is to extend ProjectForge!
