[xmlvm-users] Installing/Uninstalling XMLVM

[Panayotis K. <pan...@pa...>]

Since it seems there is a need for a simpler way to launch XMLVM, the latest SVN version has support of properly installing/uninstalling XMLVM.

The installation procedure is simple:

1) Edit file "properties/local.properties" (or create it if it does not exist). Define there the destination prefix of XMLVM with the variable "xmlvm.install".
If you do not define a specific location, the default installation path would be "/usr/local".
For example, to install it under your home directory, add the following entry:
xmlvm.install=${user.home}/xmlvm

2) Type "ant install"
XMLVM will be installed under 
DESTINATION/lib/xmlvm/xmlvm.jar
and 
DESTINATION/bin/xmlvm

Make sure that you have write permissions on the destination paths, e.g. run the target as root.
The executable is found under   DESTINATION/bin/xmlvm



The uninstall procedure is similar. Just type
ant uninstall
Make sure again that you have write permissions.
