You should be able to run AppFuse immediately if you have a MySQL 5.x database installed and it's accessible to root using no password. If you'd prefer to use an embedded database, we've recently added Database Profiles for H2, HSQLDB, etc.

MySQL Security Running MySQL using root with no password is not the most secure thing to do. Once your database is created, you can change the root password using the command below: mysql --user=root --pass='' mysql -e "update user set password=password('newpw') where user='root'; flush privileges;" AppFuse uses the username "root" and a blank password by default. To change these values, modify the <jdbc.username> and <jdbc.password> properties in your project's pom.xml (at the bottom).

Run your application

Running AppFuse is easy now. Once the archetype project is created, Maven will create and populate your database using the hibernate3 and dbunit plugins, respectively. All you have to do is use Maven to run the Jetty container and view your application.

1. Check your new project into source control, unless you have a good reason not to. Google Code has free Subversion hosting, as do many others.
2. From the command line, cd into your new project's directory and run mvn to download JARs, Tomcat and run the integration tests in your project. Now is a good time to take a coffee break or grab a beer - downloading everything and running the tests can take 5-10 minutes.
3. To view your application run mvn jetty:run-war from your project's directory (for a modular project, you'll need to run mvn jetty:run-war from your project's web directory). Maven will start Jetty and you should be able to view your application in your browser at http://localhost:8080.

   The default username/password for an admin user is admin/admin. For a regular user, use user/user.

4. To override files from AppFuse, run mvn war:inplace. This will extract the dependent WARs into src/main/webapp, where you can change files to your heart's content. When you have the war expanded in your source tree, you can run mvn jetty:run. This will allow you to change files on-the-fly and Jetty will reload them as needed. The only problem with this approach is you end up with an "exploded AppFuse" in your project, which won't bode well for upgrading. We recommend you check your project into source control before running mvn war:inplace. That way, it'll be easier for you to decide what needs to be checked in (over written) and what can be deleted.

If you receive OutOfMemory errors when using mvn jetty:run, see this mailing list thread.

You can change AppFuse from its "embedded mode" to full-source mode by running mvn appfuse:full-source from your project's root directory.

Bug with Ant 1.7.0 Local repositories and projects on Windows platforms are held in directories whose paths contain no spaces. To fix this issue, modify your $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml and change your localRepository to something like the following: <localRepository>c:\docume~1\username\.m2\repository</localRepository>

Development Environment See development environment for detailed instructions on how to setup your computer to develop AppFuse-based applications.

Changing database settings To change your MySQL database settings, simply change the <jdbc.*> properties at the bottom of your pom.xml. See Database Profiles to use a database other than MySQL
