Building AntME

This page provides some basic notes on how to build AntME. (More details to come.)

1. Get a copy of Ant. At present, AntME is being built and tested against Ant 1.6.5. Other versions will be tested as AntME matures.
2. Obtain a copy of the source code from the SourceForge project site.
3. Assuming that Ant is propertly set up for command line use, from the main project directory, simply execute the command
   ant
   The output will be loaded in the build/dist directory relative to the build directory.

If, in addition to building the library, you want to run the unit tests, you will need to do the following:

1. Obtain a copy of the junit.jar file from http://www.junit.org/.
2. Place the junit.jar where it will automatically be found by Ant. The easiest way to do this is to put it in the lib directory under your Ant install directory.
3. Use the runUnitTest.bat command file if you are using Windows. If you are using another operating system, looking within this file will show you how to invoke Ant to run the project unit tests.
