OpenEJB QuickStart Guide Build the source

1Get the source
2Building OpenEJB

## Get the source

Getting involved as a developer in any Open Source project requires the source. The standard tool for managing source code in open source projects is CVS. If you are not familiar with CVS, take a moment to read our CVS FAQ.

If you have cvs already installed and are ready to go, the following commands are all you need to get the source. The first command logs you into the system, when it prompts you for the CVS password, simply hit the Enter key.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openejb.sf.net:/cvsroot/openejb login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openejb.sf.net:/cvsroot/openejb co openejb

NOTE

The 'cvs ....' commands above should be on one line and executed as one command.

If you are a new user to cvs, the above steps may seem overly simplistic to you. For a more detailed explanation of the login/checkout process, click here.

## Building OpenEJB

After doing the checkout, there should be a new directory named 'openejb', change to that directory and execute the following command:

Windows:
[prompt] cd openejb
[prompt] openejb build

Unix/Linux/Mac OS X:
[prompt] cd openejb
[prompt] chmod 755 openejb.sh bin/*
[prompt] ./openejb.sh build
