Installing YAWP!

The prerequisites to install YAWP are:

• Java SDK 1.7 or greater
• Maven 3.3 or greater

The easiest way to install it is by using its Maven archetype. You may change the values of the groupId, artifactId and version variables:

mvn archetype:generate \
   -DarchetypeGroupId=io.yawp \
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=yawp \
   -DarchetypeVersion=LATEST \
   -DgroupId=yawpapp \
   -DartifactId=yawpapp \
   -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT

After that, you can cd into the yawpapp folder and start the development server:

cd yawpapp
mvn yawp:devserver

Just point a web browser to http://localhost:8080/api to verify it.

Finally, if you want to deploy your API to Google App Engine, just follow this simple guide.
