- COMPILING JEDIT FROM SOURCE
- To compile jEdit, you will need:
- - Jakarta Ant. I use version 1.5; older versions might or might not
- work. Get it from <http://jakarta.apache.org>.
- - A Java compiler, such as Sun's javac or IBM's jikes.
- - (Optional) To build the HTML version of the documentation:
- - DocBook-XML 4.1.2 DTD and DocBook-XSL 1.54.1 (or later) stylesheets
- (<http://docbook.sourceforge.net>).
- - An XSLT processor, such as Xalan (<http://xml.apache.org>) or
- xsltproc (<http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/>).
- - (Optional) To build the PDF version of the documentation:
- - DocBook-XML 4.1.2 DTD and DocBook-DSSSL 1.76 (or later) stylesheets
- (<http://docbook.sourceforge.net>).
- - OpenJade 1.3 and OpenSP 1.3.4 (or later)
- (<http://openjade.sourceforge.net>).
- - A TeX implementation that includes PDF output capability.
- Once you have all the necessary tools installed, run the 'dist' target
- in the build.xml file to compile jEdit. If you want to build the docs,
- first edit the `build.properties' file to specify the path to where the
- DocBook XSL stylesheets are installed, then run the 'docs-html-xalan' or
- 'docs-html-xsltproc' target.
- * A note about JDK versions
- The Jikes compiler from IBM seems to have a problem where code compiled
- against JDK 1.4 does not work under JDK 1.3. Sun's javac does not have
- this problem.
- If plan on running jEdit under both 1.3 and 1.4, I recommend you compile
- it using javac.
