The build system relies on the Apache Ant build tool. To install and configure Ant, do the following:
Download version 1.7.0 of the Ant build tool binary file from http://ant.apache.org and unzip it to a directory. This directory will be the
ANT_HOME
directory.Create an
ANT_HOME
environment variable and set it to reference the directory where the Ant build tool has been unzipped.Add
ANT_HOME
to yourPATH
environment variable:On UNIX, add:
$ANT_HOME/bin
On windows, add:
%ANT_HOME%/bin
Open a UNIX shell or command prompt and run this command to verify that Ant is installed correctly:
ant -version
The build system also requires version 3.5 of the Flex SDK in order to build the Business Control Center user interface elements that are defined in the Store.Estore.Versioned
module. (Note that you can build this module without the Flex SDK if you are only modifying its Java classes and configuration.) After installing the Flex SDK, there are two additional build properties that must be set. See Building Business Control Center User Interface Elements for detailed information.
