Building JForum

Basically, there are two ways to build JForum's source: using Eclipse

, or running Ant

Using Eclipse

JForum is built using Eclipse as its primary IDE, so when you fetch the source code from the CVS the proper settings are already there. All you have to do is to import the project into the IDE.

Using Ant

There is a build.xml script available for those who want to build JForum using Ant

. It is located in the root directory, being the compile task the default one. Other available tasks are:

Task name	Description
clean	Cleans the api, build and dist directories
javadocs	Generate the JavaDoc API
compile	Compiles the source code into the build directory
dist	Generates a war file of JForum
deploy	Deploys JForum to the configured servlet container
