General

• Based on box-cutter/ubuntu1504-desktop
• User/password: vagrant/vagrant

Using this VM

• Install VirtualBox
  • Note: You might have to experiment with the version of VirtualBox on Windows 7 machines due to virus scanning software
• Install the VirtualBox Extensions
• Install Vagrant
• You'll need a unix shell and have git installed.
  • Windows users, I recommend Git Bash
• Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/schuchert/vagrant_java.git

• Run the first_time.sh script (you can run every time, but this installs a few vagrant plugins that are handy)

cd vagrant_java
./first_time.sh

Still needs work:

The Java cookbook should be setting the right JDK, but it doesn't seem to (probably because I don't know what I'm doing). However, if you provision a second time it works. So the first_time.sh starts the vm and then immediately provisions it again. While ugly, it makes the desktop link to idea work so it's better than that not working.

Steps created to start this image:

• vagrant init box-cutter/ubuntu1404-desktop
• updated VirtualBox to have it match the destop extensions already installed in the downloaded box
• added several cookbooks
• installed Java manually because hotel internet too slow
