Since you have the source, you'll probably want to know how to compile it. Some of JSPWiki is in the form of JSP pages, so you don't need to compile them: the JSP container will take care of that. However, there are a bunch of Java files, which you'll want to compile. Requirements ============ You'll need the following programs: - J2SDK 1.3 (I use the one from Sun Microsystems; I haven't tested any others.) - Jakarta Ant 1.3 (available from http://jakarta.apache.org/ant) - servlet API 2.2 (servlet.jar, available from Sun.) - JUnit 3.7 (from www.junit.org, required for running tests) Building ======== Ant is the build system. Everything should Just Compile, when you say 'ant', assuming you have everything in your path. There are few targets: ant dist : builds a full distribution. ant javadoc: builds the javadocs into doc/javadoc ant compile: just the basic compile, thankyouverymuch ant tests : runs JUnit tests. Directory structure =================== 'src' contains the source code (under com/ecyrd/jspwiki). 'src/webdocs' contains all the files that are published in the final webapps directory, including all of the deployment files under WEB-INF. 'src/wikipages' contains a number of ready-made Wikipages. Feel free to use them. 'tests' contains a number of tests which you can run by saying 'ant tests'. If any of them fail, you know you've broken something. 'etc' contains all configuration files. 'lib' contains all libraries that are required to run JSPWiki. Note, however, that to keep the archive size down, I haven't included them in the source distribution. You may need to copy them by hand from somewhere, or the binary distribution.
