Getting started with Naked Objects Version 4.0
Comments(2) As we have recently released the next version of Naked Objects I thought it would be a good idea to do a series of blogs introducing various aspects of it. The first is about how to get it and run it.
Naked Objects is available, as before, from SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nakedobjects/) but now you have a choice about how you use it: with Maven, Ant or just using the jars with your favourite IDE. Maven provides the most flexibility, so that is what I’m going to look at now. Although with Maven you can get up and running without downloading anything from SourceForge, I strongly recommend that you start off by downloading nakedobjects-4.n.n-for-maven.zip or nakedobjects-4.n.n-for-maven.tar.gz from the download page. This will ensure that you have access to the documentation, some useful resources like icons and a set of examples that you can browse and run, and later experiment with. Once downloaded extract the contents and you’ll end up with a directory called nakedobjects-4.n.n.
