Preface

This document is a reference guide for Convelo developers. Specifically, this document contains information about setting up a development environment, building, and anything else a developer will need to contribute to the Convelo project.

After working with other PLM technologies for several years, the Rapid Transform team knows the pain involved in building and deploying existing PLM applications. As a result, a lot of thought and work has been put into creating a quick, easy build, deploy, and development environment for Convelo.

This document intends to serve as a comprehensive guide for developers, however it is out of the scope of this document to cover the application environment configuration. Please refer to the Quick Installation Guide for instructions on installing and configuring the database and application server.

Chapter 1. Developer Notes

Before You Begin

Before you begin developing for Convelo, you will also need to read the Quick Installation Guide to set up the necessary tools and underlying technologies for the application environment. Configuring the application environment is out of the scope of this document, so please refer to the Quick Installation Guide.

Current Status

Convelo is currently in a preview Beta release state and as a result, the APIs are not considered stable and changes are expected. Having said that, like many other projects we hope to minimize the number of changes between release but we will do whatever necessary to get to a stable 1.0 release.
