How can I install Apache CXF?

I am trying to install Apache CXF (apache-cxf-2.4.1-src), in order to use /configure in eclipse for developing RESTful webservices.

I do not have apache开发者_高级运维 installed at all and just installed eclipse. I download apache-cxf-2.4.1-src file and set up environment variables as I am supposed to.

But mvn --Pfastinstall in cmd prompt (when in directory c:\program files\apache-cxf-2.4.1-src) gives me this error message:

mvn is not recognized as an internal or external command

Any help on getting this up and running would be greatly appreciated.

mvn stands for Apache Maven, which is a build tool. You have to install maven to be able to run mvn commands.

Try this out: From Eclipse, go to Help, Install New Software.

For your URL put: http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/m2eclipse-wtp/

Checkmarck the 3 boxes, and press install. This will install maven. You can then create a new "Maven Project" in your workspace.

The dependencies you need for your pom.xml file to use CXF would be:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
   <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
   <version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
   <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
   <version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>

Good luck, hope I answered your question.
