Running Broadleaf commerce off from GitHub

[sibdell]

Hi,

I'm trying to learn more about broadleaf commerce. In order for me to do so, I downloaded from https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/BroadleafCommerce

However, when I import the maven project, I realized it has many sub-modules and it seems many of the module have been removed from DemoSite.

What should I do to make it run like the DemoSite in Eclipse (Without using the DemoSite) ?

That project is the Broadleaf framework. It does not build into a war, but rather a set of jars. The DemoSite utilizes the framework jars and builds a war out of it.

What should I do to make it run like the DemoSite in Eclipse (Without using the DemoSite) ?

This is the same as asking "what should I do to make the Spring Framework run like the Pet Clinic in Eclipse, without using the Pet Clinic?" The answer is the same, it's not possible. Broadleaf is a framework, just like Spring. The DemoSite is an example site that shows off the features of Broadleaf, but uses the Broadleaf Framework as a dependency, just like if you were to build a site on top of Spring.
