If you want to try it out or contribute here are the steps to build Sigil in it's current form:

...

1. Check out or update the Felix trunk (i.e., svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/felix/trunk^{Image Added} felix)
2. cd felix/sigil
3. ant clean dist

...

It'll probably take a /long/ time on first pass as it needs to download a lot of large eclipse dependencies first time around. But after this first pass the secondary builds should run quickly i.e. seconds not minutes. By way of a brief explanation of what is going on in this build.

...

Currently the Sigil build does not create an eclipse update site, but it will generate the plugins to install in eclipse:

# ant site
# ls site/plugins
bndlib.jar                                      org.apache.felix.sigil.common.junit.jar         org.apache.felix.sigil.eclipse.help.jar         org.apache.felix.sigil.eclipse.ui.jar
com.springsource.org.apache.commons.lang.jar    org.apache.felix.sigil.common.obr.jar           org.apache.felix.sigil.eclipse.obr.jar          org.apache.felix.sigil.eclipse.utils.jar
org.apache.felix.sigil.common.core.jar          org.apache.felix.sigil.eclipse.core.jar         org.apache.felix.sigil.eclipse.search.jar
