The
groupId
for all RESTEasy artifacts is
org.jboss.resteasy
. You can view all available
artifacts at

.
Example Requirements and Structure
The RESTEasy distribution does not have all the software you need to run the examples. You
will also need the following components:
▪ JDK 6.0 or later. You will, of course, need Java installed on your computer.
▪ Maven 3.0.4. Maven is the build system used to compile and run the examples. Later
versions of Maven may work, but it is recommended that you use 3.0.4. You can down-
load Maven from
http://maven.apache.org
.
Code Directory Structure
The EXAMPLE code is organized as a set of directories, one for each exercise (see
Fig-
ure 17-2
). You'll find the server source code for each example in the
src/main/java
directory.
The servlet configuration for each example lives in the
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF
directory.
The client code that runs the example is in
src/test/java
.
Figure 17-2. Code directory structure
To build and run the exercises, you'll use the Maven build tool. A product object model
(POM) is provided in the
pom.xml
file at the top-level directory of each example. It contains
the Maven configuration needed to compile, build, and run the specific example.
Environment Setup
For Maven to work correctly, you will have to make sure the Maven scripts are in your path.
Depending on your platform, you'll have to execute commands like these:
▪ Windows:
C:\> set PATH=\maven\bin;%PATH%
