Building the jar file

Not all required libraries are included in the source distribution. To build sqlworkbench.jar from the source distribution, znpack the source archive into a directory. This directory will be referenced as ${wbroot} in this description.

Before you can build SQL Workbench/J you will need to download additional libraries

• Install Ant (http://ant.apache.org/)
• The JUnit task for ant. This also requires copying the libraries into your ant directories. For details please see the Ant manual
• The Jarbundler Ant task. As the jarbundler library is referenced from within build.xml, this library is needed even when you don't want to build the Mac release. Then copy the files jarbundler-1.9.jar and JavaApplicationStub to ${wbroot}/etc/jarbundler.
• Download Apache POI from http://poi.apache.org and copy the main library (e.g. poi-2.5.1.jar) into the directory ${wbroot}/poi
• Download HSQLDB from http://www.hsqldb.org
• Download H2 Database from http://www.h2database.com
• Download the Jemmy library from http://jemmy.netbeans.org/downloads.html (Required to run the GUI tests)
• Create the directory ${wbroot}/junit and copy the files hsqldb.jar, h2.jar and jemmy.jar into that directory

Now you can build the jar file by typing ant while the scripts directory is your current directory. If the build is successful, ${wbroot}/dist/sqlworkbench.jar will be created.

The default Ant target make-dev-jar does not build the manual.

Building the manual

To build the manual you need to download Docbook XSL package (Version 1.72) and FOP (fop-0.94-bin-jdk1.4.zip).

• Copy the Docbook distribution to ${wbroot}/doc/docbook
• Copy the FOP distribution to ${wbroot}/etc/fop
