Building

Before you can build CXF, you'll need to first check it out from the Source Repository. Then you'll need to install Maven 2.0.x.

Building CXF

To build CXF simply execute:

$ mvn install

To build CXF without running checkstyle do:

$ mvn -Pnochecks

To build CXF without running checkstyle or the tests do:

$ mvn -Pfastinstall

Setting up Eclipse

To setup eclipse for CXF, you'll want to check to set up a separate directory /outside of your workspace/. Here is an example of how it might be done:

[/home/joe]$ mkdir /home/dan/cxf
[/home/joe]$ cd cxf
[/home/joe/cxf]$ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cxf/trunk
[/home/joe/cxf]$ cd trunk
[/home/joe/cxf/trunk]$ mvn -Pfastinstall
[/home/joe/cxf/trunk]$ mvn -Psetup.eclipse 

Once that is done, start up eclipse and set your workspace to "/home/joe/cxf/workspace". You'll then want to import all the CXF modules into eclipse. This can be done by doing:

1. File->Import
2. Select General->Existing Projects into Workspace
3. Enter "/home/joe/cxf/trunk" as the root directory
4. Click "Finish"
