[servicemix-user] ServiceMix Basic Questions

[SM_Developer (sent by Nabble.com)]

Hi I am new to the world of ServiceMix and I have few basic questions:

a) I have downloaded servicemix-2.0.2.zip and extracted it to C:\servicemix. After setting the environment variables, I can see ServiceMix running. But looking at the http://servicemix.org/Getting+Started , it says also to - download servicemix-2.0.2-src.zip and run Maven to compile the source code. Why do I need to do that ??

b) I am from J2EE/Web Services background. What I want to do is build components using JBI and deploy them on ServiceMix. Do I need to know Spring, Maven, ActiveMQ to develop using ServiceMix.

c) The documentation for ServiceMix is really not helpful. The examples show flow diagram but doesn't explain much about what Java files/ Schema have been followed. Is there any useful place for documentation. Even if you can share some of your own small working examples, it would be of great help to start.

Regards,
John
