| Documentation |
| -------------- |
| All of our user documentation for the Qpid Java components can be accessed on our wiki at: |
| |
| http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/qpid/Qpid+Java+Documentation |
| |
| This includes a Getting Started Guide and FAQ as well as detailed developer documentation. |
| However, here's a VERY quick guide to running the installed Qpid broker, once you have installed it somewhere ! |
| |
| |
| Running the Broker |
| ------------------ |
| |
| To run the broker, set the QPID_HOME environment variable to |
| distribution directory and add $QPID_HOME/bin to your PATH. Then run |
| the qpid-server shell script or qpid-server.bat batch file to start |
| the broker. By default, the broker will use $QPID_HOME/etc to find |
| the configuration files. You can supply a custom configuration using |
| the -c argument. |
| |
| For example: |
| |
| qpid-server -c ~/etc/config.xml |
| |
| You can get a list of all command line arguments by using the -h argument. |
| |
| |
| Developing |
| ---------- |
| |
| In order to build Qpid you need Ant 1.6.5. Use ant -p to list the |
| available targets. The default ant target, build, creates a working |
| development-mode distribution in the build directory. To run the |
| scripts in build/bin set QPID_HOME to the build directory and put |
| ${QPID_HOME}/bin on your PATH. The scripts in that directory include |
| the standard ones in the distribution and a number of testing scripts. |
