Setup

Imagine that our boss told us about an upcoming project to build a prototype of an online/mobile banking self-service application. He informed us that there will be a meeting set up in a day or so to talk to the business folks and clarify requirements. So at this point of time all information we have is a potential application name - bank or self-service. Let's say we've decided to stick with bank.

So, what do we do at this stage with such limited information available? We will:

• Install prerequisites:
  • Java,
  • Eclipse,
  • Maven Integration for Eclipse,
  • Tycho Configurator,
  • Nasdanika Application Workspace Wizard and Story Edtor,
  • Graphviz.
• Generate application projects
• Run the application in Eclipse
• Explore the documentation system
• Explore the application projects
• Build and launch the application locally
• Dockerize the application
• Set up an automated build
  • Publish code to GitHub,
  • Set up build/test job on CircleCI,
  • Set up automated image build on Docker Hub.
