README

This repository offers some simple project templates to get started with Graph databases. It will primarily focus on:

• Tinkerpop 3
• Neo4J
• OrientDB

It you are going to use any information and/or artifacts of this repository, please be aware of the fact that

• You need a current version of Java installed (Java 7 or better). I highly recommend using Java 8!
• You need a current version of Maven 3 installed

To test your Java version:

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

To test your maven install (environment variable JAVA_HOME must be defined!):

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

$ mvn --version
