Sigil is currently being migrated to Apache Felix from it's original home on http://sigil.codecauldron.org^{Image Removed}. As part of this migration it has been decided to go for a completely self hosted mode of development - i.e. use Sigil to build Sigil.

Issues:

Please help development of Sigil by reporting issues and contributing patches here.

Build Instructions

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 Removed} felix)
2. cd felix/sigil
3. ant clean dist

...

1. I've hosted a prebuilt sigil-ivy-plugin at http://people.apache.org/~dsavage/sigil/^{Image Removed}
2. The ant build downloads ivy, sigil-plugin, bnd and equinox.common.jar and stores them in $felix-svn/sigil/cache/ant/lib
3. Ivy caches a set of remote bundles that sigil can't yet index (i.e. no obr index to these resources yet)
4. Sigil creates local indexes of ivy cached bundles (just indexes filesystem)
5. Sigil builds all projects in $felix-svn/sigil/common and $felix-svn/sigil/eclipse using the meta data from the various sigil.properties files. Import-Package or Require-Bundle dependencies expressed in the sigil.properties file are resolved from either: the local workspace; the local cached repo; or the spring enterprise bundle repository (for which we do have an OBR index).
