You will need the the latest version of the Jakarta Ant tool, maintained by the Apache group. This Java tool makes building a JSwat distribution very easy. Download and install Ant before continuing.
Building a JSwat binary or source package with Ant is very
straight-forward. First, download and install Ant, which is really
quite easy. Next, invoke Ant from the directory containing the JSwat
build.xml
file. This will run the default target which
should make the source and binary packages. The distributions are
packed in .tar.gz
files. These are compressed tape
archive files, common on Unix platforms. They are easily handled by
popular Windows software like WinZip, and compress to a smaller size
than Zip.
Testing the build is pretty straightforward. Extract the files
from the archive created during the build process described above,
then start JSwat as described in the README.html
file.
The general idea is to make sure the JSwat jar file contains all the
necessary classes and resource bundles. If any errors occur you may
want to check that the build.xml
includes all of the
necessary files for JSwat to run properly.
