The purpose of this document is to instruct developers on how to begin developing with Pentaho. This document explains how to set up a development environment in Eclipse, including how to make a connection to the Pentaho Subversion repository, checkout the Pentaho projects, build them, and debug them using a "stand-alone" Java application and using the Eclipse JBoss IDE. The document also explains the Pentaho repository structure and a number of build targets important to developing with Pentaho.
The intended audience is the software developer community. We assume the reader has a fair amount of knowledge of the Eclipse platform and Java development. If the intent is to deploy the platform as a J2EE application, we assume the reader has some experience with J2EE and application servers. For our purposes here, we are demonstrating using the JBoss Application Server. While not paramount, it will benefit the reader to also have a working knowledge of Apache Ant.
