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/
Once you have a copy of the source code tree, you can use Apache Maven
http://maven.apache.org/
to build the project. After installing Maven 1.0, be sure to download the
latest release of the Ant plugin (1.8.1 or later) using a command like
maven plugin:download -DgroupId=maven \
-DartifactId=maven-ant-plugin -Dversion=1.8.1
before running one of the maven commands listed at
http://maven.apache.org/start/use.html
to build the Jackrabbit project and/or documentation.
NOTE: JDK 1.5 users need to download xalan.jar and place it in
$MAVEN_HOME/lib/endorsed to build the Jackrabbit sources. The
reason for this workaround is explained in
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-46
