- Latest development build (java web start file)
- interfaces with a test certificate authority to avoid interfering with operations
- Mantis bug tracker
- Hudson continuous integration server, doing automated builds and testing
- jGridstart GForge project, currently the forum may be used
Developer documents
- Javadoc is built automatically
- Used technologies
- Notes on browser certificate installation
- What's inside the ~/.globus directory
- See which client certificate is installed in your web browser

Building from source
JGridstart is being developed in a subversion repository: active SVN branch (web access). To build the latest trunk from source, make sure that you have installed a Java development environment, Ant, and Graphviz (for the Javadoc diagrams; make sure dot is in your path), then run:
svn checkout https://ndpfsvn.nikhef.nl/repos/pdpsoft/branches/nl.nikhef.jgridstart-flyingsaucer/nl.nikhef.jgridstart cd nl.nikhef.jgridstart ant dist
This results in signed JAR in the subdirectory deployment, together with java web start related files. When developing, one can run jGridstart from the in-tree class files using the shellscript jgridstart.sh (or jgridstart.bat on Windows).
