Required Tools

You will need the following tools to build Celtix Enterprise from the source distribution:

Java 5

Celtix Enterprise is developed using the latest version of Java. To build Celtix Enterprise you must use the JDK supplied with Java 5.0.11 or higher. You can download the JDK from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.

Once you install the JDK you need to do the following:

Set JAVA_HOME to point to the proper JDK.

Windows

                
                  set JAVA_HOME=JavaInstallDir

*NIX

                
                  export JAVA_HOME=JavaInstallDir

Add the JDK binaries to PATH.

Windows

                
                  set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

*NIX

                
                  export PATH=$PATH;$JAVA_HOME/bin

Apache Maven

Apache Maven is a popular build management tool and it is used to build some of the Celtix Enterprise components from the source distribution. Celtix Enterprise requires Apache Maven 2.0.4 or higher to build. You can download Apache Maven from http://maven.apache.org/download.html.

Once you have installed Apache Maven make sure that the Apache Maven binaries are added to your PATH.

Windows

          
            set PATH=%PATH%;MavenInstallDir\bin

*NIX

          
            export PATH=$PATH%;MavenInstallDir/bin

Apache Ant

Building and using Celtix Enterprise also requires Apache Ant. You can download Apache Ant 1.6.5 from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi.

After unzipping the Apache Ant distribution, you will need to do the following:

Add Apache Ant's bin directory to your path.

Windows

                
                  set PATH=%PATH%;AntInstallDir\bin

*NIX

                
                  export PATH=$PATH;AntInstallDir/bin

Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to the directory where you unzipped Apache Ant.

Windows

                
                  set ANT_HOME=AntInstallDir

*NIX

                
                  export ANT_HOME=AntInstallDir
