Getting the sources

The current distribution packages of webwork contains all sources, as well as all needed libraries. So getting the package will provide you with the source, but unfortunately if want to build webwork from scratch, this is not enough. You will still have to get the opensymphony common module as well, because the build process relies on it. As time of writing of this document, there is no distribution package for the common module, so need to check it out from CVS as described below.

CVS

The sources are are hosted via CVS on java.net. So getting your sources is quite standard:

1. If you have not already done, login to repository:
   cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs login
2. Checkout the the webwork sourcetree:
   cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs checkout webwork
3. Checkout the the opensymphony common sourcetree:
   cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs checkout opensymphony

If you are a registered user at Java.net, you might use your username instead of anonymous guest account.
