Source

If you want to work with source you can either use the latest development version from Subversion or you can download the most recent release. We try to keep the development version stable however, for production environments we recommend the stable release. Alternatively you might want to work with a binary release

Getting and building from the latest source code

To build from source follow these summary steps, more details can be found below:

We've got some notes on setting up a development environment for Wookie.

Building

We use Apache Ant to manage our build process. This makes it really easy to build on any platform.

Building on Linux

If you are running Ubuntu Linux the commands you need to carry out a source installation are:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo apt-get install ant1.7
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/wookie/trunk ~/projects/wookie

Now skip to "Running Wookie" below.

Building on Windows

Once you've installed those applications you should checkout the source as follows:

svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/wookie/trunk ~/projects/wookie
