Set up a Hippo DX project

Steps to create a new Hippo DX project

1. Get an account for the Hippo Maven Enterprise repository and add it to your Maven settings.

2. Create a Maven project using the Hippo Website Archetype as described in the Getting Started Trail (section "Create the project").

3. In the project's primary pom.xml, change the parent pom from org.onehippo.cms7:hippo-cms7-release to com.onehippo.cms7:hippo-cms7-enterprise-release, e.g.

   <parent>
     <groupId>com.onehippo.cms7</groupId>
     <artifactId>hippo-cms7-enterprise-release</artifactId>
     <version>{hippo-enterprise-version}</version>
   </parent>

   You can find the available versions of the enterprise edition release pom here:

   https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2-enterprise/com/onehippo/cms7/hippo-cms7-enterprise-release/

4. Also in the project's primary pom.xml, add the Hippo Maven Enterprise repository, e.g.

   <repository>
     <id>hippo-maven2-enterprise</id>
     <name>Hippo Enterprise Maven 2</name>
     <url>https://maven.onehippo.com/maven2-enterprise</url>
     <releases>
       <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
       <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
     </releases>
   </repository>

5. Next add the following dependency to cms/pom.xml (this will ensure current and future needed Repository and CMS enterprise dependencies are added automatically):

   <dependency>
     <groupId>com.onehippo.cms7</groupId>
     <artifactId>hippo-enterprise-package-app-dependencies</artifactId>
     <type>pom</type>
   </dependency>
   

6. You can now build and run the project as usual (see Getting Started Trail).

7. To add the Hippo DX indicator, add the following dependency to the cms/pom.xml

   <!-- Indicating the Enterprise Edition version -->
   <dependency>
     <groupId>com.onehippo.cms7</groupId>
     <artifactId>hippo-addon-edition-indicator</artifactId>
   </dependency>

8. To add individual Hippo DX features, see the documentation of each feature. For example, Reporting Dashboard.
