JGridstart is an open source project, licensed under the GPL (version 2 or later). It was developed at Nikhef as part of the BiG Grid project.

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 2, then run:

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

The last stages of the build process are still being shaped up after moving its build system from Ant to Maven. The current 'final' product can be found in jgridstart-small/target/jgridstart-small-<version>.jar (together with a bcprov-<jdk>-<version>.jar).

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