Welcome to DSLs In Action
-------------------------

The archive contains all the source code that you will find in the book chapters. The code base has
been indexed based on the chapters where they occur and the context in which we use them. As for example,
the following is the layout for one of the sample chapters in the book:

chapter2
|
|
+--- order_dsl_groovy
|
|
+--- order_dsl_java

This indicates that chapter 2 of the book discusses order processing DSLs and we have 2 implementations 
of the same. In the code package we have 2 folders for the 2 implementations. Let's dig deep into the folders 
to get an idea of how we package these DSLs here.

order_dsl_groovy
|
|
+--- order
|    |
|    |
|    +--- src
|    |    |
|    |    |
|    |    +--- main
|    |         |
|    |         |
|    |         +--- groovy
|    |              |
|    |              |
|    |              +--- ch2
|    |                   |
|    |                   |
|    |                   +--- order
|    |                        |
|    |                        |
|    |                        +--- ClientOrder.groovy
|    |                        |
|    |                        |
|    |                        +--- order.dsl
|    +--- pom.xml
|
|
+--- readme.txt

The artifact order contains the source hierarchy, while the readme.txt contains instructions on how to build 
and run the DSL main scripts. The actual instructions depend on whether the source is Java, Groovy, Ruby, Scala
or Clojure.

Prerequisites:
--------------

The code packaging is done around Maven. Please ensure you have maven 2.2.1 installed. For running Ruby code, I
have packaged around the jruby plugin of Maven. You would also need to have JRuby installed for running them. For
more details, have a look at the respective readme.txt files in the individual folders.

Happy DSLing!
