[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: Contribution to jBPM / GPD

[hosierdm <do-...@jb...>]

I want to start diving into the GPD code and probably start contributing.  However, I've had nothing but problems trying to get the stuff to build.  These directions do not work, but I realize they are months old, and things may have changed.  So, for starters, I am at least smart enough to realize that the ANT_HOME location must have the ant-contrib jar installed.  Since there is no file in org.jbm.build called build.xml, you cannot just issue the ant command.  What I've tried, is to issue the ant command against the mainTargets.xml build file.  That fails everytime complaining about the eclipse.fetch task.  I'm trying to run the build files straight from Eclipse, and Ant is setup with that task, so I don't get it.  It almost seems like the build is supposed to be initiated from another build file.  

Maybe we can make this thread the official, overly detailed, any idiot can read this and get it working thread for how to build GPD using cvs and ant.  Then perhaps we can move it over to the Wiki once all steps are verified by someone who has never done it before (like me).  Any thoughts would be appreciated.  I know everyone's time is limited, but just imagine how much free time you could have if people could easily get started on contributing to GPD!  ;)
