Getting Started
===============
Apache Jackrabbit is an effort undergoing incubation at the
Apache Software Foundation. Incubation is required of all newly
accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
infrastructure, communications, and decision making process
have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful
ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a
reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it
does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed
by the ASF. The incubation status is recorded at
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/jackrabbit.html
Mailing Lists
-------------
To get involved with the Jackrabbit project, start by having a
look at our website (link at top of page) and join our mailing
lists by sending an empty message to
jackrabbit-dev-subscribe :at: incubator.apache.org
and
jackrabbit-commits-subscribe :at: incubator.apache.org
and the dev mailing list archives can be found at
http://incubator.apache.org/mail/jackrabbit-dev/
Downloading
-----------
The Jackrabbit source code is available via Subversion at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk
and anonymous access is available at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk
or with viewcvs at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk/
The Jackrabbit main project is located in the "jackrabbit" subdirectory
and the "contrib" subdirectory contains various additional modules and
contributed projects.
To checkout the main Jackrabbit source tree, run
svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit
Once you have a copy of the source code tree, you can use Apache Maven
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/
to build the project. You should use Maven version 1.0.2 to build Jackrabbit.
Maven 1.1 is also known to work, but Maven 2.0 is not supported. The minimal
command to build and test all the Jackrabbit sources is:
maven
For more instructions, please see the documentation at:
http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/doc/building.html
NOTE: Java 5 users need to download the xalan.jar and serializer.jar
libraries from the Xalan-Java binary distribution at
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/downloads.html and place them in
$MAVEN_HOME/lib/endorsed (or $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/endorsed if using Maven 1.1)
to build the Jackrabbit sources. The reason for this workaround is
explained in
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-46
