Developer documents

Building from source

JGridstart's source can be found at github. To build the latest development version from source, make sure that you have installed a Java development kit (JDK) and Maven, then run:

 git clone https://github.com/biggrid/jGridstart.git
 cd jGridstart
 mvn install

The current 'final' product can be found in jgridstart-small/target/jgridstart-small-<version>.jar (together with a bcprov-<jdk>-<version>.jar). Please see the README for more information.

jGridstart's main application is in jgridstart/, and it can be run from there using the shellscript jgridstart.sh (or jgridstart.bat on Windows).
