Hi Shelita,
I'd like to partner with you on writing some documentation and had also
started a page on the wiki @
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANY/Building+SCA+for+Javawhich
has some overlap with Raymonds more recent addition.
How about we break the getting starting down into a number of smaller pages
so we can work on them more easily. I propose:
User Guide
+ Getting Tuscnay's Java SCA
+ Choosing between a package runtime and building your own
+ Downloading and installing a release
+ (use the the approach I'm experimenting with @
http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-dev%40ws.apache.org/msg13707.html)
+ Setting up a build environment
+ Choosing a source / understanding the source tree
+ Building - which bits to build
+ Debugging build issues
+ Build tips (eg. use of mvn -fn to continue building
despite test case failures)
+ Setting up an "SCA Developer" environment (cover both command line and
IDEs (Eclipse and others)) suitable for a user of Tuscany (as opposed to a
developer of)
+ Developing a simple SCA composite containing a single component
+ Initial project setup (is there an alternative to maven ?)
+ Developing a simple component
+ Unit testing and debugging a component
+ Composing components into composites
+ Exposing the composite to the outside world (define the
service binding)
+ Web Services, JMS etc
+ Resolving dependencies not contained in the composite
(defining the reference bindings)
+ Web Services, JMS - others ?
+ Reusing components in composites
+ Deploying to server runtime (eg. tomcat & geronimo ?)
( + Managing / monitor / changing components & composites )
...
I think it might also bring up some interesting things to consider... for
example, "How can I reuse components in a composite without copying it from
another project ?"
If folks agree with this structure (or similar) then I'll go ahead and
create it - I think it would be a good idea to agree some structure upfront
to avoid duplication (which seems likely unless we have one author).
WDYT ?

Hi,
I just added a draft @
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANY/Getting+Started. We
might
be able to use it as a starting point and add more meat into it to help
new
users understand the basic concepts, steps and tools to develop a simple
SCA
application with Tuscany.
Thanks,
Raymond
