Download Ant 1.7 and the contrib library from here. Follow the instructions to installing both.
In place ant installation documents here would be nice
gzip -cd jde-version-tar.gz
ant -p
Note: Ant looks for the file in the user.home property, which under windows (i.e. XP), is in:
C:/Documents and Settings/user name/.jdee-config.properties
ant configure
#user editable build configuration parameters #Wed Aug 05 23:18:22 CDT 2009 cedet.dir=/usr/local/share/emacs/cedet elib.dir=/usr/local/share/emacs/elib build.bin.emacs=/Users/landes/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs config.time=2009/08/05 23\:18 prefix.dir=/usr/local/jdee
ant clean-all edit ~/.jdee-config.properties ant configure cat build.properties
Note: The clean target doesn't remove the (generated) build.properties file.
Spending just a little time on this step could really save a lot of time during the build step.
ant build
To create the distribution:
ant dist
ant install
(add-to-list 'load-path "path to cedet's lisp directory here") (add-to-list 'load-path "path to JDEE's lisp directory here") ;; load autoloads file (load "jde-autoload")
third.party.lib.dir=${user.home}/opt/lib/emacs cedet.dir=${third.party.lib.dir}/cedet-1.0beta3b
Note: This property and need for elib will soon be going away.
