Roller 5.1 requires JDK 1.7 or newer; Roller 5.0.x should build with requires just JDK 1.6.

Eclipse users, you might want wish to refer to this instead: Build and Run Roller 5 in Eclipse.

There are two ways to get the source code, from the project's Subversion repository or from a source release. Here's how to get the Roller trunk (upcoming 5.1.x branch) code from Subversion:

   svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/trunk roller_trunk 

For the current older (5.0.x) release branch:

   svn co http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/branches/roller_5.0/ roller_50
