Sift through and update documents in your MongoDB databases with this friendly, straightforward web interface.
For more information, see the MongoVision web site.
To build MongoVision you need Ant, Maven and Sincerity.
You may need to create a file named "/build/private.properties" (see below) and override the default locations for Maven and Sincerity.
Then, simply change to the "/build/" directory and run "ant".
During the build process, build and distribution dependencies will be downloaded from an online repository at http://repository.threecrickets.com/, so you will need Internet access.
The result of the build will go into the "/build/distribution/" directory. Temporary files used during the build process will go into "/build/cache/", which you are free to delete.
The "/build/custom.properties" file contains configurable settings, along with some commentary on what they are used for. You are free to edit that file, however to avoid git conflicts, it would be better to create your own "/build/private.properties" instead, in which you can override any of the settings. That file will be ignored by git.
You can create distribution packages (zip, deb, rpm, IzPack) using the appropriate "package-" Ant targets. They will go into the "/build/distribution/" directory.
If you wish to sign the deb and rpm packages, you need to install the "dpkg-sig" and "rpm" tools, and configure their paths and your keys in "private.properties".
In order to build the platform installers (for Windows and OS X), you will need to install InstallBuilder and configure its path in "private.properties".
BitRock has generously provided the MongoVision project with a free license, available under "/build/installbuilder/license.xml". It will automatically be used by the build process.
