If you wish to obtain the latest/greatest codebase you are encouraged to try the following process as generally described in BuildingJXTA:

prerequsites:

1. J2SDK 1.5.0+
2. Ant 1.6.3+
3. Subversion (svn client)

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

*nix or Mac OS X:

  % mkdir ~/jxta
  % cd jxta

Windows 2000/XP/Vista:

  > mkdir %USERPROFILE%\jxta
  > cd %USERPROFILE%\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

Next, 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 JXSE and Shell environments.
