Required Jars for Roller Source

Instructions apply to: Roller 2.3, 3.0 and 3.1 releases

Here you'll find the missing HIbernate and other jars that you need to compile and build Roller from source code. Why? Due to licensing restrictions, Roller does not include the Hibernate jars required to run Roller. The Roller installation guide explains how to get these jars from the Hibernate web site, but that is a little inconvenient. So, to make Roller installation a little easier, we've packaged up the Hibernate and other jars required to build Roller and made them easily available here, with instructions.

How to install the Required Jars for Roller Source

1. Download the Roller Source release apache-roller-src-X.Y-incubating.tar.gz from the Roller project download page
2. Extract the Roller source into a directory your hard drive
3. Download required-jars-roller-src-X.Y.tar.gz from the Roller Support project download page
4. Extract the file required-jars-roller-src-X.Y.tar.gz into the Roller source code directory [1]
