QuickStart Guide For Building DrJava

by Corky Cartwright ([email protected])

The following guide presumes that you already have the following

software systems installed on your system and accessible via your

shell search path:

* Java 5.0 or 6.0 SDK,

* subversion (svn) 1.4 or above, and

* ant 1.7 or above.

If not, follow the instructions at http://www.drjava.org/devdocs/ for

setting up a DrJava development environment.

1) Make a directory to be the top-level container for you drjava code

tree. I recommend "dj".

2) Descend into this new directory by typing the command

cd ~/dj

3) Download the drjava source code base by typing the command

svn co https://drjava.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/drjava/trunk/drjava

4) After this download completes, descend into the root directory of

the dowloaded code base by typing the command

cd drjava

5) To compile the code base and generate a jar file containing the

compiled program, enter the command

ant jar

which builds a jar filed named drjava.jar

If the build is successful, you can execute the built program by

entering the command

java -jar drjava.jar

If you encounter any problems, consult the Developer Docs at

drjava.org by visiting http://www.drjava.org/devdocs/.
