This chapter will give you all the steps required to building the server and the installation images of ApacheDS. If you only want to install ApacheDS using pre-build installers (which can be downloaded from the mirrors) you may skip this chapter and go on with 1.43. Installing and starting the server.
Needed tools
All directory projects use Maven as the default build tool. We try to remain current with the production version of Maven. To be specific, we use Maven 2.0.4 on JDK 1.5 for building and running the server. Subversion (SVN) is used for version control. There are some Eclipse plugins you can use for managing your svn repositories, we like Subversive most.
