Don't you think it is worth a link to this book about maven in
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building#HInstallingMaven
or any other location in this page?
Thanks both! This step is clear for me now at
least in a MacBook Pro
box. Next station: check out the software and try to build it.
I am writing down the steps toward a developing environment in a
MacBook
Pro in a XWiki page here...

Sounds good but why don't you link to the maven book for installing
maven for example:
http://www.sonatype.com/book/reference/public-book.html ?
This would allow not to repeat the information.
I think a tutorial like this is very worthwhile.
I'd personally not
put any information outside of xwiki and instead provide links since
otherwise you'll have to explain a lot for all possible situations +
update if frequently when one of those external tool change.
WDYT?
I think that the only merit of this simple tutorial is to create a new
installation workflow focused on creating a developing environment.
Sincerely I think that it won't be frequent that anybody starting
developing in XWiki has not already installed some or all of the
required pieces before reaching this page :-)
Note that the difference between set up on Mac OSX,
Windows or Linux
is very slim IMO. For all of them you can (for example) simply unzip
tomcat and run startup.bat or startup.sh.
This could be possibly truth for experienced people. But, for instance,
to set up a Tomcat daemon in Mac OS X requires some extra work. See...
http://www.malisphoto.com/tips/tomcatonosx.html?#Anchor-JSVC
In Windows, the Tomcat installer does this work for the user. But this
information would be better entered in...
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat
Summing up, my draft will remain in our xwiki just for our reference. It
could be worth to add this two links (Maven: The Definitive Guide and
Installing Apache Tomcat 6 on Mac OS X Leopard) in the more suitable place.
WDYT?
Thanks!
