## Understanding the Spring Petclinic application with a few diagrams
<a href="https://speakerdeck.com/michaelisvy/spring-petclinic-sample-application">See the presentation here</a>
git clone https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-petclinic.git
mvn tomcat7:run
You can then access petclinic here: http://localhost:9966/petclinic/
## In case you find a bug/suggested improvement for Spring Petclinic
Our issue tracker is available here: https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-petclinic/issues
The following items should be installed in your system:
* Maven 3 (http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/installation.html)
* git command line tool (https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git)
* Eclipse with the m2e plugin (m2e is installed by default when using the STS (http://www.springsource.org/sts) distribution of Eclipse)
Note: when m2e is available, there is an m2 icon in Help -> About dialog.
If m2e is not there, just follow the install process here: http://eclipse.org/m2e/download/
```
git clone https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-petclinic.git
```
```
File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven project

Petclinic uses XML configuration by default. In case you'd like to use Java Config instead, there is a Java Config branch available <a href="https://github.com/arey/spring-petclinic/tree/javaconfig">here</a>. Thanks to Antoine Rey for his contribution.

## Interaction with other open source projects
One of the best parts about working on the Spring Petclinic application is that we have the opportunity to work in direct contact with many Open Source projects. We found some bugs/suggested improvements on various topics such as Spring, Spring Data, Bean Validation and even Eclipse! In many cases, they've been fixed/implemented in just a few days.
