HOWTOBUILD.txt
==============

For General Users & log4j developers
=====================================
Firstly, you'll need maven 2.0.9+ to build Chainsaw:

http://maven.apache.org


* cd to Chainsaw project checkout directory

	mvn install

This will automatically build and assemble the Chainsaw distribution which includes a .sh & .bat shell script to run Chainsaw.  You can then run Chainsaw as follows:

[*nix]
sh target/appassembler/bin/chainsaw

[Windows]
target/appassembler/bin/chainsaw.bat

[OSX]
You can use the *nix steps above, or go one extra step for a nicer OSX experience

mvn package osxappbundle:bundle

This will create an OSX distribution, look inside the target folder for the packaged OSX application and .dmg distribution.  You can drag the application to your /Applications folder, or just double click it from the target folder.

For log4j developers
====================

Creating a Webstart distribution
================================

To create the Webstart distribution requires:
	* a keystore configured with a valid code signing key
		I've always found this link useful:
			http://www.dallaway.com/acad/webstart/
			
	* A maven profile that defines the parameters for code signing (otherwise passwords and stuff need to be embedded in the pom.xml)
	 	Edit your ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml file, such that it has something like:

		<settings>
		....
		<profiles>
		....
		  <profile>
		 	<id>chainsaw-signing</id>
		    <properties>
		      <chainsaw.webstart.keystore>/somepath/keystore</chainsaw.webstart.keystore>
		      <chainsaw.webstart.keypass>somesupersecurepassword</chainsaw.webstart.keypass>
		      <chainsaw.webstart.storepass>someothersupersecurepassword</chainsaw.webstart.storepass>
		      <chainsaw.webstart.alias>aliasofcertificateinkeystore</chainsaw.webstart.alias>
		    </properties>
		  </profile>
		...
		</profiles>
		....
		</settings>
		
	Then create the webstart package:
	
	mvn -Pchainsaw-signing install webstart:jnlp
	
	Inside the target folder will contain a .zip file containing the webstart distribution, including the generated .jnlp file.
