Here are the steps necessary to edit and check the content on www.eclipse.org/bpel/ locally on
your development workstation.
<h2>Pull source</h2>
Create a project in your Eclipse workbench called <b>www</b> and checkout into it the following modules from
the repository <b>dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/org.eclipse</b>.
<ol>
<li><tt>www/bpel</tt> - the main bpel web content tree</li>
<li><tt>www/eclipse.org-common</tt> - some common things that you need</li>
<li><tt>www/images</tt> - images</li>
<li><tt>www/projects</tt> - project related stuff</li>
</ol>
For example, this is what I see ...
<p style="margin-left: 20px;">
<img src="images/www-project.png"/>
</p>
<p>
You will need the CVS username and password to commit things to this repository.
</p>
<h2>Get PHPEclipse</h2>
If you <i>do not dream in PHP code</i>
then this is probably a <b>good</b> thing to do. You can download from
<a class="www" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpeclipse" target="_download">http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpeclipse</a>.
After installing, restart your eclipse environment, and pressumably you should be able to
open and browse the repository and perhaps even see colors when editing those PHP files.
<p style="margin-left: 20px;">
<img src="images/php-editor.png"/>
</p>
<p>
This concludes the eclipse end setup. Now onto running the <b>www.eclipse.org/bpel/</b>
locally on your workstation.
</p>
<h2>Install XAMPP</h2>
Install the XAMPP stack on your workstation (MySQL + Apache + PHP and Perl).
You download it from
<a class="www" href="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html" target="_download">http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html</a>.
<p>
Installation ought to self explantory if you can came this far.
</p>
<p>
If you do not want to do this, then you are on your own. I used my own installation of Apache
and re-used the XAMPP instllation of the rest.
</p>
<h2>Modify Apache Configuration</h2>
You need to modify the apache configuration so that it uses <b>virtual hosts</b>
and specifically defines one that we will use for the local eclipse.org environment.
There two steps here:
<ol>
<li> Edit your <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> or
<tt>\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts</tt>
file to include this entry
<pre class="code">
127.0.0.1 local.eclipse.org
</pre>
or create an alias for localhost as in ...
<pre class="code">
127.0.0.1 localhost local.eclipse.org
</pre>
</li>
<li> Edit your apache configuration to include the <b>local.eclipse.org</b>
virtual host. This should be in the configuration file <tt>etc/extras/httpd-vhosts.conf</tt> in your XAMPP home directory.
<pre class="code">
NameVirtualHost *:80
#
&lt;VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName local.eclipse.org
ServerAdmin admin@email.com
DocumentRoot c:/ws/eclipse.org/www
ServerAlias www.local.eclipse.org
ErrorLog logs/local.eclipse.org-error.log
CustomLog logs/local.eclipse.org-access.log common
&lt;/VirtualHost>
</pre>
The <b>DocumentRoot</b> for your virtual local.eclipse.org host should be pointing
to where-ever you had created the <b>www</b> project (and where <b>www/bpel</b> exists).
</li>
</ol>
Now restart the apache configuration and see how things work.
You should be able to point to <b>http://local.eclipse.org/bpel/</b>
and get the BPEL home page.
