Introduction

This is the only AndroMDA artifact that we will install explicitly. All other artifacts, such as AndroMDA cartridges, will be automatically downloaded by the Maven2 scripts generated by the plugin. Install the plugin by following the steps below.

AndroMDA Installation

Download and Install

  • Click here to download the the AndroMDA plugin installer.
  • Unzip the contents of the installer into your Maven repository at $M2_REPO (or whatever you have set "localRepository" to be, or by default, it resides in your-home-dir/.m2/repository).
  • Verify that the following directory was created (switch the slashes around for Windows):
    $M2_REPO/org/andromda/maven/plugins/andromda-maven-plugin>>>

Test Installation

  • Create a temporary directory, e.g. C:\andromda-temp or $HOME/andromda-temp .
  • Create a file called pom.xml in this directory with the following content:
                                <project>
                            <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
                            <groupId>samples.test</groupId>
                            <artifactId>test</artifactId>
                            <version>1.0</version>
                            <packaging>jar</packaging>
                            <name>test</name>
                            <build>

                            </plugin>
                            </plugins>
                            </build>
                            <repositories>
                            <repository>
                            <id>andromda</id>

                            </repository>
                            </repositories>
                            <pluginRepositories>
                            <pluginRepository>
                            <id>andromda</id>
                            <name>AndroMDA Repository</name>
                            <url>http://team.andromda.org/maven2</url>
                            </pluginRepository>
                            </pluginRepositories></project>
  • Open a Command Prompt in the directory where you created this pom.xml and run the command mvn without any arguments. Make sure the command completes successfully by displaying the BUILD SUCCESSFUL message.
  • You can now delete the temporary directory you just created.
