Rome is built using mighty Maven! This is why these instructions are so short:-)
If you don't want to build Rome we'd suggest you download a binary build:-)
Check out from Subversion
See Version Control for access intructions and to browse the source from your browser.
Check out the tag version-0-1 for version 0.1. Else checkout the trunk for the development version.
Setup maven
See Installing Maven for details.
Maven automatically downloads dependencies of a project from an online repository.
Build rome.jar
At the command prompt type:
> mvn jar:jar
This will build
rome/target/rome-VERSION.jar
You're good to go.
Build a full binary distribution
> mvn
Build the project site
> mvn site
For Rome developers
Work on Rome using Eclipse
> mvn eclipse:eclipse
will setup the Eclipse project for you.
We don't use the site:deploy or dist:deploy targets yet since java.net is not very maven-friendly yet:-)
