2.1. Setup

IRIS is built and tested under Windows. In order to build and run IRIS the following software is required:

  • Java JDK version 6.0 or later. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to your Java 6.0 installation. For example: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0.

  • Apache Ant version 1.6.5 or later. Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to point to your Apache Ant installation location. For example: C:\apache-ant-1.6.5. Add ${ANT_HOME}/bin to your system path for convenience. Also note that to run unit tests the JUnit optional Ant tasks must be included with the Ant distribution.

  • A CVS client to check out the IRIS source.
