If you just want to develop templates without modifying Magnolia itself, you
can try the following steps:
#Install JSDK
#Install Tomcat
#Download Magnolia 3.0.1 CE from Magnolia website (http://www.magnolia.info)
#Install Magnolia
#Start Magnolia
#Stop Magnolia
#Move the author repositories from webapps/magnoliaAuthor/repositories to /Data/repositories
#Modify property magnolia.repositories.home in webapps/magnoliaAuthor/WEB-INF/config/default/magnolia.properties from repositories to /Data/repositories
#Start Magnolia and test if author instance works
#Stop Magnolia
#If not already done, install Eclipse with Web Tools Platform (WTP) (http://www.eclipse.org)
#Start Eclipse
#Define your JSDK as ÔøΩInstalled JREÔøΩ
#Define your Tomcat as ÔøΩInstalled RuntimeÔøΩ
#Create a new ÔøΩDynamic Web ProjectÔøΩ magnolia
#Copy the content of the Magnolia author instance (all under webapps/magnoliaAuthor) to the Eclipse projectÔøΩs WebContent folder
#Run project magnolia on server
#Test if it works
