Work area

All the test will be done on the same host, and all the software installed will use and respect the same folder structure. This structure will be placed within the user's home folder, which is not the most common location to place the software programs, but this will allow us to install everything without requiring root privileges. Moreover, this will force us to be aware and take care of every configuration step, because we will not get anything configured by default.

Folder structure (Last update: 02/12/2009)

  • /home
    • /me
      • /bin - Executable files, launchers
      • /lab
        • /jvm - Java Development Kit (JDK 6 Update 16)
        • /projects
        • /servers
          • /tomcat - Tomcat 6.0.20
        • /tools
          • /ant - Apache Ant 1.7.1

The folder structure above will be updated each time we make a new test.
