Building a JBoss Release

The easiest way to build a released version of JBoss is to obtain the source bundle from the SourceForge downloads section that corresponds to the version of interest.

For the current 3.2.3 release

The source bundles are jboss-3.2.3-src.tar.gz or jboss-3.2.3-src.tar.bz2. Just download one of these, unpack it, cd to the jboss-3.2.3-src/build directory and execute the build.sh/build.bat script. The release dist will be created under jboss-3.2.3-src/build/output

Building a Release From CVS

The releases are tagged using a tag of the form JBoss_X_Y_Z where X=major version number, Y=minor version number, Z=patch version number. Each branch also has a toplevel module name tied to the branch: jboss-3.0 for 3.0.x release, jboss-3.2 for 3.2.x releases, etc. The current development branch in the head branch and has a module alias of jboss-head.

Example of building the 3.2.2 release

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jboss co -r JBoss_3_2_3 jboss-3.2
cd jboss-3.2/build
build

Building an Interim Release

Example of building the latest 3.2 branch

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jboss co -r Branch_3_2 jboss-3.2
cd jboss-3.2/build
build

Example of building the latest main branch

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jboss co jboss-head
cd jboss-head/build
build
