Would there be any milage in creating template vm's set up with a working dev environment? Then we could download the image, run and just then update source via Git. This is what I was planning to do within my organisation. If other may find it useful then I'll try to ensure it's available for all.

Maybe have a link off the enviroment page which links to the Wiki.
Ok I did that, we just need to think about how to clean this up.

I found the Wiki guides helpful for setting up, maybe just a 'Development
environment in rhel' and 'Development environment in Debian' section.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Setting+up+CloudStack+Development+Environment+on+Linux
is
messy but if you logically pick out the steps it works.

Maybe:
- Setup Debian
- Setup RHEL
- Pull Repo

Should we also be encouraging users to make a github clone and work from
there? I have seen that mentioned in one place, can't remember where now.

We have talked about moving the docs to a separate repo. I think we need to do 
that, then accept pull requests for the docs.
that would allow folks to correct/help with docs.

After more searching I have found:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Setting+up+CloudStack+Development+Environment+on+Linux
which
seems the most comprehensive.

Would it be possible to have this guide instead of
http://cloudstack.apache.org/develop/environment.html<
http://cloudstack.apache.org/develop/environment.html#maven>
as
multiple near identical installation instructions are bound to cause
confusion.

Looking at this the webpage:
http://cloudstack.apache.org/develop/environment.html

Mixes 4.0 release instructions and 4.1+
It also mixes ubuntu/debian and rhel flavors.

I am not sure what's the best to clean this up. We can remove the 4.0
instructions and we can pick one OS

Developers should look for info on the wiki while all info for users
should be in the docs (in an ideal world).

We can't really duplicate all info on the website.

thoughts ?

Hi Sebastian,

I found the answer in the INSTALL.md file in the main repo, maven is
3.0.5.
I see Ian has created a more detailed guide in this bug
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2877, but
unfortunately
it is not on the Wiki Environment page.

Hi guys,

On this wiki it does not cover the installation of Maven, while it
does
for
Ant, Tomcat and MySQL. Should users install 'maven' or 'maven2'?

http://cloudstack.apache.org/develop/environment.html#maven

Would it be worth filing a bug? I am unsure how to contribute to this
specific page myself?
I am pretty sure it's maven3, but it might work with maven2 as well.

If you find the answer :) you can file a bug and I will pick it up.

To edit the website you need to be a committer, the site is kept in a
svn
repo separate from the source code.

Thanks,
