How to set up Magnolia Author and Magnolia Public instances on eclipse

In this tutorial i am going to demonstrate how to set up magnolia Public and Author instances on eclipse using maven automated build environment.So , how do we start , yes that is a good question because official magnolia documentation does not provide such a information directly. So what do we do, what we can do is we can search for Google to find if someone else on this planet has faced the similar situation before. likely as expected someone else on this planet has faced this problem.

When i was searching the Google for magnolia + eclipse key words , oh, unfortunately i hit with following page.it is about retrieving magnolia source to our environment. But here what i need is not magnolia source. it is magnoliaAuthor and magnoilaPublic war files. those files should be set up on our eclipse environment as a project with the use of mvn automated build environment.Requirement of such a set up is this. say, you are developing a module for eclipse then each time when you want to test your module you have to build your module jar and upload that in to magniliaAuthor or public applications lib location. But since we are using mvn we can automate this process if we have magnoliaAuthor and public instances running on our workspace as a project. for this propose we don't need magnolia source.

Then i changed key works in to magnolia module development + eclipse. yes! that is what i was looking for. This mail discussion contains the information i was searching for.

This page contains two url's regarding to magnolia module development.
