This README is for building rapla from source

1. Get the source:

To get the Source-Distribution download it from sourceforge If you want to checkout the latest developmant version read the faq-entry on FAQ.

2. Build Rapla:

We use the ant tool for our build process. Ant is the java-equivalent to make.

Use the following batch files to start the ant.jar included with the rapla source distribution.

build.sh (Linux/Unix)\\ build.bat (Win)\\ call build (Win NT/2000)\\

Calling build with no arguments will create a Binary-Distribution in the sub-folder dist. There you will find the scripts to start rapla. (see [Installation])

You can call build with different arguments:

argument	description
choose-target (default)	Executes the target specified in build.properties. Default is dist-bin.
dist-bin	Creates a new Binary-Distribution in the folder dist
build	Builds a new rapla.jar in the build sub-folder
run	Creates a new Binary-Distribution and runs it
start	Copies the config-file in the test dir and starts Rapla (this is faster than run, use it for developing)
clean	Deletes the build sub-folder
clean-dist	Deletes the dist sub-folder
javadocs	create the Javadoc in the build sub-folder
webapp	Builds only the webapp folder needed for deployment in a Servlet Container like tomcat and jetty. dist-bin also creates this. (see [server installation])

Pass the target as a parameter to ant e.g. build.sh dist-bin

You can also change the target in build.properties so you dont't have to pass any parameter to ant at all (since version 0.10.0). build.properties will be created from build.properties.template when you call build the first time. For a complete list of all targets use the -projecthelp option
