To build MetaModel there are two different approaches you can follow:

• The command line approach for people who just want to compile the project without modifications.
• The eclipse IDE approach suitable for contributors who want to work with the code.

Command line approach

This is very simple. It requires that you have downloaded and installed the  Subversion and  Maven tools.

 svn checkout http://eobjects.org/svn/MetaModel/trunk MetaModel
 cd MetaModel
 mvn install

eclipse IDE approach

The eclipse IDE approach requires two eclipse plugins to work:  Subversive (for Subversion access) and  m2eclipse (for Maven integration). If you need help with installing the plugins, please refer to the ToolBase page or ask away at the mailing list for MetaModel.

1. Check out the projects from  http://eobjects.org/svn/MetaModel/trunk:

2. Once checked out, right click your new project and select "Import...":

3. Select "General -> Maven Projects" in the dialog that appears:

4. The dialog will suggest a list of projects based on the modules of MetaModel. Just click "Finish":

5. You will now have all the MetaModel modules represented as individual eclipse projects:
