Instructions for building Bodington


This assumes that you have a Java JDK already setup, with JAVA_HOME pointing 
to your JDK and with the tools of your JDK on your PATH. These instructions 
describe running ANT from the command-line or shell window (on Unix style 
platforms). However, IDEs such as Eclipse and NetBeans have excellent ANT 
integration.

1) Download the latest version of ANT from http://ant.apache.org.

2) Unpack the zip file into a suitable location, e.g. c:\java\apache\ant.

3) From the command-line set ANT_HOME as an environmental variable:
	e.g. set ANT_HOME=c:\java\apache\ant.
	
4) Add ANT to your PATH:
	e.g. set PATH=%ANT_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
	
5) Change to the directory in which you find this folder (the top-level
directory of the Bodington source directory).	
	
6) Copy the file sample.build.properties to build.properties. Open this in a
text editor and edit the properties according to your local configuration.

7) Ensure you are in the same directory as the build.xml file. Type the 
following:
	ant all
This will execute the all target, which builds bodington from scratch. If all 
goes smoothly you will end up with 2 files in the dist directory. One is the 
bodington installer jar file. The other is the bodington war file wrapped in a 
zip file, which includes the version as part of it's name.

NOTE: If you have any problems, consult the text within the header of the 
build.xml file itself, for the most current information.
