Software

eagle-i software is available under a BSD 3 license.

Currently, there are a two ways to deploy eagle-i: from scratch (source code) or from pre-packaged applications . To make deployment even easier in the future, we anticipate offering eagle-i as a pre-configured virtual machine and via a hosted SaaS (cloud) model.

Set up a development environment

The eagle-i source code is a multi-module maven project (see code organization). Our code is IDE-agnostic, though we've had a good experience using eclipse with the m2eclipse plugin (standard with the latest version of eclipse):

• After installing m2eclipse, open the eclipse subversion perspective and select "check out as maven project" at the trunk level.
• This will create an eclipse project per maven module
• eagle-i-base contains the root POM. mvn install at this level builds the entire tree.

Alternately, here are some notes on setting up eclipse for GWT debugging from one of our team members.
