Pre-installed Drools development environment for VirtualBox

For the Drools Boot Camp SF09 I made up pre-installed Drools development environments for Sun's VirtualBox. This environment has everything you need to start development of drools.



What's in the box?

  • Fedora 10
  • Java 1.6 JDK
  • Maven 2.0.9
  • Ant 1.7.1
  • gwt-linux-1.5.2
  • JProfiler 5.2 (With Drools community license, only to be used with Drools)
  • Eclipse 3.4 (with GEF, Subclipse, Drools and JProfiler plugins pre-installed, and Drools runtime configured)
  • All environment variables correctly set
  • Full Drools SVN checkout
  • Maven repository populated with all Drools dependencies
  • Initial Eclipse workspace created, with basic modules already checked in
  • Documentation already built and set as FireFox home page
  • Full build already done, including the eclipse plugin which downloads eclipse to build itself, and JBoss AS for the guvnor-standalone.zip which is in drools-guvnor.
The VirtualBox 2.2 image is exported and zipped and available here:
https://docs.jboss.org/drools/virtualbox/dvbox-20090615.zip (2.6GB)

If anyone wants to improve on this image - preinstalled Netbeans, IntelliJ (with community license) or any other ideas, please feel free and let me know where I can download it from so I can make it available to others.

IntelliJ would be greatly appreciated!

It would be nice if a webdav client is configured and installed. It is not an out-of-the-box feature for linux

Hi.

I seem to have problems downloading the image. It downloads without errors, but the downloaded zip file appears corrupt.

unzip -t dvbox-20090615.zip
Archive: dvbox-20090615.zip
testing: Drools Development Environment.ovf OK
testing: Drools Development Environment.vmdk
error: invalid compressed data to inflate
At least one error was detected in dvbox-20090615.zip.


Could you check that the image is correct and provide an MD5 hash of the zip so I can check it on the client?

Best regards

It would not boot -
used virtual box 3.08 -
attached the vmdk file; (ovf did not use?) - received error -
ext3 abort; journal problem; then eventually prefdm problem
maybe same corrupt as previous comment....

oops - please ignore previous anonymous comment. IF you "import appliance" the ovf file - it work great! (takes a little while on windows with 3.08); I was confused - Thanks - works great!
