JGridstart's source can be found at [https://github.com/biggrid/jGridstart github]. To build the latest development version from source, make sure that you have installed a [http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Java development kit (JDK)] and [http://maven.apache.org/ Maven], then run:
 +
  git clone https://github.com/biggrid/jGridstart.git
 +
  cd jGridstart
 +
  mvn install
 +
The current 'final' product can be found in <tt>jgridstart-small/target/jgridstart-small-<version>.jar</tt> (together with a <tt>bcprov-<jdk>-<version>.jar</tt>). Please see the [https://github.com/biggrid/jGridstart/blob/master/README.md README] for more information.

JGridstart is being developed in a [http://subversion.tigris.org/ subversion] repository: [https://ndpfsvn.nikhef.nl/repos/pdpsoft/branches/nl.nikhef.jgridstart-flyingsaucer/nl.nikhef.jgridstart active SVN branch] ([https://ndpfsvn.nikhef.nl/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/pdpsoft/branches/nl.nikhef.jgridstart-flyingsaucer/nl.nikhef.jgridstart/ web access]). To build the latest trunk from source, make sure that you have installed a [http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Java development environment], [http://ant.apache.org/ Ant], and [http://www.graphviz.org/ Graphviz] (for the Javadoc diagrams; make sure <code>dot</code> is in your path), then run:

This results in signed JAR in the subdirectory <code>deployment</code>, together with java web start related files. When developing, one can run jGridstart from the in-tree class files using the shellscript <code>jgridstart.sh</code> (or <code>jgridstart.bat</code> on Windows).
