<title>Installing Ant</title>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The POI build system requires two components to perform a
|
|
|
|
|
build.
|
|
|
|
|
<link href="ext:jakarta.apache.org/ant">Ant</link> and
|
|
|
|
|
<link href="ext:xml.apache.org/forrest">forrest</link>.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Specifically the build has been tested to work with Ant version
|
|
|
|
|
1.5.3 and Forrest 0.4. To install these products download
|
|
|
|
|
the distributions and follow the instructions in their
|
|
|
|
|
documentation. Make sure you don't forget to set the
|
|
|
|
|
environment variables FORREST_HOME and ANT_HOME. The
|
|
|
|
|
ANT_HOME/bin directory should be in the path.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
One these products are installed you will also need to
|
|
|
|
|
download some extra jar files required by the build.

<title>Running the Build</title>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
On the first run the ant build system will download all
|
|
|
|
|
the jars required by the project to build ant. If you're
|
|
|
|
|
behind a firewall this may cause some problems. Should you
|
|
|
|
|
need to it's possible to manually put the jars in the
|
|
|
|
|
correct directories. These can be obtained from here:
