Building Turbine from Source
============================

Turbine requires Apache Maven (http://maven.apache.org/) as build
tool. Please download and install maven from its download page at
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/start/download.html

As of Turbine 2.3, you must also have the Torque plugin for Maven
installed to build Turbine. Install it using the following
plugin:download instruction:

maven -DartifactId=maven-torque-plugin -DgroupId=torque -Dversion=3.3 plugin:download

The turbine jar is built by running the "maven jar:jar" command in the
root directory of the Turbine source distribution.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR USERS OF JDK 1.3. IT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED

Further documentation
=====================

The main Turbine documentation site is at the Apache Turbine Project
Homepage at http://turbine.apache.org/. You can also build the
most current documentation for this source tree by executing "maven
site" in the root directory of the source distribution after building
the jar.
