Building From Source
To build Oddjob - you use Oddjob.
Oddjob must be run with tools.jar on the classpath. On Windows if JAVA_HOME points to a JDK this can be achieved from the command prompt with:
"%JAVA_HOME%"\bin\java -jar run-oddjob.jar -cp "%JAVA_HOME%"\lib\tools.jar
- Unzip the src distribution. It will unpack into a directory
called
oddjob-src
- Using Oddjob Explorer open the file
oddjob/oj-assembly/oddjob.xml.
- Run the top level job 'oddjob.xml'.
When the build completes you should find an archive identical to
your original download in the oddjob/oj-assembly/work/ojdist
directory.
