Building Apache CXF
=====================

Initial Setup
-------------

1) Install J2SE 5.0 SDK, which can be downloaded from 
   http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. Use version of 1.5.0_13 JDK.
   Note: CXF 2.0.x does not build on Java 6 VM's.

2) Make sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the newly installed 
   JDK location, and that your PATH includes %JAVA_HOME%\bin (windows) or 
   $JAVA_HOME$/bin (unix).

3) Install Maven 2.0.6, which can be downloaded from 
   http://maven.apache.org/download.html. Make sure that your PATH includes 
   the MVN_HOME/bin directory. 


Building
--------

1) Change to the top level directory of Apache CXF source distribution.
2) Run
	$> mvn.
   This will compile Apache CXF and run all of the tests in the Apache CXF source
   distribution. Alternatively, you can run
         $> mvn -Pfastinstall.
   This will compile Apache CXF without running the tests and takes less
   time to build.
   Depending on the load of remote Maven 2.0 repositories, you may have 
   to run "mvn" several times utill the required dependencies are 
   all located in your local maven repository. It usually takes some time for 
   maven to download required dependencies in the first build.

Building kit
------------
1) Change to the "distribution" directory of Apache CXF source distribution.
2) Run 
         $> mvn
   This will build an Apache CXF distribution kit under "distribution/target"
   directory.
