IMPORTANT NOTES

This release is intended to provide an experience with the software and is stripped of several important components to enable ease of use.

This software is adapted to run on a local server for demo purposes and without proper security mechanisms. 

This software is still under active development so some features may be added, removed or changed over course of time.

DEPENDENCIES

To compile the supplied source files and run the generated WAR the following software should be configured:

• Java SDK version 8.0
• Maven version 3.3.9+ (Maven runtime memory might need to be set: MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms256m -Xmx512m) (Maven settings, proxy and mirrors, might need to be adjusted to your environment and internet access requirements)
• Supported browser is Google Chrome version 45+ (Mozilla Firefox ESR version 38.3 and Microsoft Internet Explorer version 11 are known to work with minor issues)
• Node 18.18.2.
