Preparing the build environment

Execute the configure script from the root directory of the project source. Specific JAVA version can be set for building (different from the one registered with your system) by executing:

(Where JAVA_HOME is the path to your JDK installation)

Possible parameters for the configure script are:

configure             - Creates build.properties file with default values
                        for all possible parameters. It can work only if 
                        there is a default JAVA registered with the system.
configure -help       - Displays Help screen
configure -version    - Sets the version number for the project.
configure -release    - Sets the release number for the project.
configure -buildid    - Sets the build id for the project.
configure -jdkhome    - Sets the "JAVA HOME" location of Java to be used 
                        to compile the project.
configure -instdir    - Sets the location of the installation dir used when
                        executing make script with install target specified.
configure -rebranding - ONLY FOR WINDOWS. Flag that determines if the project 
                        will be "rebranded" with the context of branding folder. 
                        Possible values [true/false].
configure -language   - ONLY FOR WINDOWS. Used by NSIS when creating setup 
                        (normally used for rebranding). 
                        Possible values [English/Portuguese/PortugueseBR].

Multiple parameters can be specified at once.


Example:

configure -version 3.3 -release 1 -buildid 20110721-0808 -jdkhome C:/jdk1.6 -instdir C:/JaWE

The configure script will create/change the build.properties file based on the parameters provided. This file can also be manually changed to adjust your environment/parameters for building the project from the sources.
