QuickStart Guilde For Building DrJava
  by Corky Cartwright (cork@rice.edu)

The following guide presumes that you already have a Java 5.0 or 6.0 SDK, subversion (svn) 1.4 or above, and ant 1.7 or above installed on your machine.  If not, follow the instructions at http://www.drjava.org/devdocs/ for setting up a DrJava development environment.

1) Make a directory to be the top-level container for you drjava code tree.  I recommend  "drjava".

2) Descend into this new directory by typing the command

    cd ~/drjava

3) Download the drjava source code base by typing the command

    svn co https://drjava.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/drjava/trunk/drjava

4) After this download completes, descend into the root directory of the dowloaded code base by typing the command

     cd ~/drjava

5) To compile the code base and generate a jar file containing the compiled program, enter the command

   ant jar

   which builds a jar filed named drjava-15.jar

If the build is successful, you can execute the built program by entering the command

  java -jar drjava-15.jar
