Building Functor
To build Commons Functor from scratch, you must first obtain the source,
from
the SVN server.
Commons Functor can be built using Maven
or Ant.
Building with Maven
-
Install a recent Maven release. Maven is available from
http://maven.apache.org/.
-
With Maven installed, you should be able to run an arbitrary maven goal from the root Commons Functor
directory. Use maven -g for a list of avaiable goals. Commonly used goals include
clean, test, dist, site and clover.
Building with Ant
-
Install a recent Ant release. Ant is available from
http://ant.apache.org/.
-
Obtain JUnit 3.8.1 or later. JUnit is available from
http://junit.org/.
Note that JUnit is a needed to compile and run the unit tests,
but is not needed at runtime by clients of Commons Functor.
-
Copy the build.properties.sample file found in the
root Commons Functor directory to a file named build.properties.
Modify this file to provide the location of the junit.jar file.
(Note that Commons Functor supports a "shared" build.properties
file placed either at ../build.properties or
../../jakarta-commons/build.properties, or both, relative to the
root Commons Functor directory.)
-
You may run ant -projecthelp to obtain a list of the available Ant targets.
Commonly used targets include clean, test, compile,
dist, and javadoc.
