This page should help you to build the Jellytools library. You can use a prepared build script or you can compile sources in NetBeans IDE and make the jar yourself. First you have to get the sources from the CVS repository. You can learn more about CVS here.

Using Ant

Jellytools depends on Jemmy and on several parts of the NetBeans IDE. The easiest way is to checkout the whole CVS repository to satisfy all module dependencies:

    cvs checkout standard_nowww

To build Jellytools run the following:

    cd nbbuild
    ant init all-jellytools

It will build the whole Jellytools distribution. Once you have done that, you can just run "ant" in the jellytools directory when you need to build your changes. The script will build jelly2-nb.jar containing the class files.

Additional targets:

compile            - compile all sources
jar-library        - make jars jelly2-nb.jar
zipsrc             - make jelly2-nb-src.zip containing only the java files
javadoc            - generate javadoc to zip file javadoc/jelly2-nb-javadoc.zip 
javadocWithJemmy   - generate javadoc of Jemmy and Jellytools2 together to zip file javadoc/jemmy-jelly2-nb-javadoc.zip
clean              - delete all products of building
nbm                - create NBM (NetBeans module) containing jars and javadoc

Inside IDE

You can also compile Jellytools sources in NetBeans IDE. Run IDE and open jellytools project. It expects you have all NetBeans sources available. Then simply invoke or "Build" on jellytools project's node.
