Take a look under the hood

easyb is hosted at Google code, which provides an accessible Subversion repository. To checkout easyb's source code, simply type


svn checkout http://easyb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/easyb easyb-read-only

Building easyb requires Groovy 1.5.4 and Gant 1.1.1 (we've upgraded!). Once you've downloaded the project, in the project's root directory, type gant -p. You should see something like this:


 ant-task           runs the easyb ant task
 clean              cleans target dir
 compile-all        compile Groovy & Java classes
 compile-behaviors  compile Groovy & Java classes in easyb behavior
 compile-core       compile Groovy & Java classes in easyb core
 configuregroovy    configures environment to compile w/Groovy
 dist               create a distribution from the release
 getdeps            retrieves dependencies
 init               init dirs
 jar                archive project
 release            compile and archive
 validate           runs behaviors	

To verify everything works, type gant dist, which will basically run everything (including validation). At the end you should see some .tar.gz files created and some text like this:


 [easyb] 90 total behaviors run with no failures
 [easyb] easyb execution passed
