Notes for Building on Windows
In order to build this project, you must install a JDK and have the JDK's "bin" folder on your path. You can check by typing "jar" on the command line. If it says something like "jar is not a recognized command", then you need to follow these steps (after installing a JDK if you haven't already done so).
- Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings
- Click "Advanced" tab -> Environment Variables...
- Find the "Path" variable under System Variables and click Edit...
- Go to the end of the variable value and add ";C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_22\bin" (adjust the path as needed for your computer, and make sure you put a semicolon before this path and the preceding part of the variable value)
Now if you open a command prompt and type "jar" you should see usage instructions for the jar command. That means your JDK and path are setup correctly, and you should be able to build this project.
