Included are all the steps required to obtain, build and run a working copy of the JXSE Shell. The prerequisites are:

1. Java SE JDK 5.0
2. Ant 1.6.3+
3. Subversion (svn client)

With the above prerequisites installed and available in your system environment, create a JXTA workspace:

  % mkdir ~/jxta
  % cd ~/jxta

Next, check out the source code for the JXSE core and the JXSE Shell:

  % svn checkout https://jxta-jxse.dev.java.net/svn/jxta-jxse/trunk jxta-jxse --username guest
  % svn checkout https://jxse-shell.dev.java.net/svn/jxse-shell/trunk jxse-shell --username guest

Lastly, and this really is the last step, execute the ant scripts to build the core and shell:

  % cd jxta-jxse
  % ant
  % cd ..
  % cd jxse-shell
  % ant

At this point you should have a freshly minted working copy of JXTA Shell that is invokable as follows:

  % ant run

You can refresh your local workspace using :

  % svn update jxta-jxse jxse-shell
