Tutorial ~ Project Directory Structure
In this example project, any Jangaroo source code is to be located in
_PROJECT_HOME_/src/main/joo/ and any other web application files, such as HTML
files, are located in _PROJECT_HOME_/src/main/webapp/. The Maven build file
pom.xml has to be placed directly in _PROJECT_HOME_ and will build the example
and create the resulting Web application in the target directory. You could
use this example setup and the build file as a template for small Jangaroo
projects.
In _PROJECT_HOME_, create the following directories and (so far empty) files:
| File Name | Description |
|---|---|
src/main/joo/HelloWorld.as |
for your first ActionScript 3 source file that will be compiled to JavaScript and run in any browser |
src/main/webapp/index.html |
for an HTML wrapper that starts your application |
pom.xml |
for the Maven build instructions for your project |
If you do not want to create files and copy text into these files manually, but just want to study a working example, you can download and unzip a slightly more sophisticated "hello world" example [here](http://repo.jangaroo.net/maven2/net/jangaroo/jangaroo-compiler/0.8.1 /jangaroo-compiler-0.8.1-examples.zip).
Let's first look at the actual Jangaroo code in HelloWorld.as.
