Abstract
This chapter describes the (Java) software needed to build the sister projects. Follow the steps in this chapter if you want to build the sister projects from source, or want to contribute back to the sister projects.
For the most part the sister projects are implemented using Java. Some sister projects may have their own additional prerequisites; consult their documentation.
Install the following software (you may well already have these installed):
a Subversion client;
Java 5 or 6 and
setup the JAVA_HOME environment
variable;
Maven 2.1.0 or
later, setup the MAVEN_HOME environment
variable.
Add Subversion's svn executable and Maven's
mvn executable to your PATH
environment variable.
