The OpenSAML 2 source tree comes with a script for invoking Ant on Unix platforms (ant.sh) and Windows platforms (ant.bat). The build provides the following targetlibrary uses the maven build tool, which provides the following useful commands (among many others):
- clean - removes all the build generated content
- javadoc:javadoc - generated the Javadoc for the library and places in it the
doctarget/site/javadocapidocsdirectory - test - runs the available unit tests and places the results in the
doctarget/resultssurefire-reportsdirectory - package - generates the OpenSAML java distribution packages and places it them in the
disttargetdirectory
Targeting JDK 1.4
By default the build script will target Java 5.0 (JDK 1.5), if you wish to build the library so that it works with Java2 1.4 (JDK 1.4), simply open the build.properties file and change the target.jdk property to 1.4.
Note: You must use JDK 1.5 when building !OpenSAML, even if you are targeting JDK 1.4. The build process will downgrade the resulting Java class files using Retroweaver.
