General Remarks

jwma comes with a lot of documentation, for all the different aspects of the project. To get started with development, we suggest following steps:

1. Learn how to deploy jwma
   • Use a standalone container (like Tomcat, or Resin) or a development clone of your later production environment
   • See the deployment documentation
2. Ensure that you understand jwma's architecture
   • See the architecture documentation
   • See the annotated UML class diagrams, which are part of the architecture documentation. You can find them also in
     <jwma documentation context>/images/uml
   • See the API documentation
3. Learn how to build jwma from the source (here).
4. Consult the additional development documentation from the section below.
