Setting up the examples for WaveMaker Tools || Part-6

 Setting up the examples for WaveMaker Tools

Now that you've got a Studio in your browser, let's get the examples set up so you can view them in the Studio. The examples are stored on the code sharing site GitHub. If you aren't familiar with GitHub or otherwise don't have a git client, don't worry.
GitHub lets you download and unpack the repository as a .zip file from their site by visiting the following URL:


https://github.com/edwardcallahan/Easy-Web-Samples/archive/master.zip

If you do have a git client installed, the easiest way to get the examples is to clone the example repository using git clone, as shown in the following command:

 git clone https://github.com/edwardcallahan/Easy-Web-Samples.git

However, when you get the example projects, they will need to be copied to a folder on the host running the WaveMaker Studio Tomcat server. Either copy the projects into your Studio's project folder or update the project folder. To do that, go to the WaveMaker File menu and select the Preferences… menu item to set your WaveMaker Folder to the Easy-Web-Samples directory.
You should now see the sample projects listed in the open project dialog. Each project in the bundle also contains a project export in its export folder. Use the Studio file menu to import each project export individually.

Some of the sample projects use a MySQL database and others use an embedded HSQLDB database. HSQLDB examples require no configuration. If a project uses a MySQL database, a database export is included with the project in the src directory. The free community edition is fine as no enterprise version features are used. You'll need to be able to access a MySQL server to import these exports. Setting up MySQL is not required to run those examples, but the examples are more fun with data.
