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.
3. Perform an "mvn clean install" in the trunk to clean and build everything.
4. To run the newly built framework, cd into org.apache.felix.main and type "java -jar bin/felix.jar".
5. If you want to create the installers, cd into org.apache.felix.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.
