Setup With Maven

To start developing an application you need setup a project for its

Step 1. Install smartfox server 2x

To install smartfox server 2x you need download its from [smartfox download page] (http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/sfs2x#p=installer) and installation (it is very easy)

Step 2. Install apache maven

You can download apache maven from [apache maven download page] (https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi) and extract downloaded file. You also need add bin folder of maven to system PATH variable (if you don't know how to, you can refer this link)

Step 3. Install eclipse

Eclipse default supports apache maven, so you only need [download] (https://eclipse.org/downloads/) and use its

Step 4. Create a maven project

After done environment setup, you can use eclipse to create a maven project, if you don't know how to, you can refer this [link] (http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseMaven/article.html) or this [link] (http://www.mkyong.com/maven/how-to-create-a-java-project-with-maven/)

Step 5. Install smartfox libraries to apache maven

Because smartfox hasn't deployed their libraries to maven central so we need install it from local. We need install two libraries are sfs2x.jar and sfs2x-core.jar. To install them you need open terminal and input two command:

mvn install:install-file "-DgroupId=com.smartfoxserver" "-DartifactId=sfs2x-core" "-Dversion=2.9.0" "-Dpackaging=jar" "-Dfile=path_to_sfs2x-core.jar"

mvn install:install-file "-DgroupId=com.smartfoxserver" "-DartifactId=sfs2x-v2" "-Dversion=2.9.0" "-Dpackaging=jar" "-Dfile=path_to_sfs2x.jar"

Step 6. Add dependencies to pom file

After install smartfox libraries, you need add them and [ezyfox] (https://github.com/youngmonkeys/ezyfox-core) to pom file like this:

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.tvd12</groupId>
	<artifactId>ezyfox-sfs2x</artifactId>
	<version>1.0.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>com.tvd12</groupId>
	<artifactId>ezyfox-core</artifactId>
	<version>1.0.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>com.smartfoxserver</groupId>
	<artifactId>sfs2x-v2</artifactId>
	<version>2.9.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
	<artifactId>guava</artifactId>
	<version>19.0</version>
</dependency>

After setup done, you can [start developing the application] (https://github.com/youngmonkeys/ezyfox-core/wiki/Start-Developing)
