Building Felix

A basic start to checking-out and building Felix:

1. Download and install the latest Maven 2 release.
2. Check out or update the Felix trunk (i.e., svn checkout
   svn checkout \http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/felix/trunk felix).
3. Perform an "mvn clean install" in the trunk to clean and build everything.
4. To run the newly built framework, cd into main and type "java -jar bin/felix.jar".
5. If you want to create the installers, cd into installers and do a "mvn clean install", which will generate the installers in the installers/target/images/ directory.

There is a simple build script in the trunk, called build_run.sh, that will build and run the framework for those that want a simple way to do all of this.
