This guide is intended to cover how to build Geronimo 3.0 from the latest server/trunk, though other newer branches should also follow similar instructions. Server trees that use the same basic build tooling include:

• server/trunk
• server/branches/1.2
• server/branches/2.0
• server/branches/2.1
• server/branches/2.2

Prerequisites

and server/branches/3.0. Refer to Building Apache Geronimo in the Development documents for more information on building Geronimo, including this and other branches.

Prerequisites

Build Machine

It is recommended that a dedicated computer used to build Geronimo 3.0 have a minimum of 2GB of real memory. The computer will also need a connection to the Internet to download artifact dependencies.

Java Developer Kit (JDK)

You will need a JDK 6.0+ (Java SE 1.6.0+) or compatible JDK to build Apache Geronimo. It is recommended you use SUN's implementation, or something compatible like Apples implementation. Other JDK vendors implementations may work, but use at your own risk.

If you have an incompatible version the server build will probably fail with a message complaining
