Source Installation Requirements

You must have the following in order to build a FUSE product from its source distribution:

You must have installed a Java Development Kit (JDK), version 1.5.0_11 or later. You can download the JDK from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/previous.jsp.

Once you have installed the JDK you must:

  1. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the top-level directory containing your JDK.

  2. Add the JDK's bin directory to the PATH.

On Windows, the Sun JDK installs by default into C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_version. When specifying this path in your JAVA_HOME environment variable, you can use Progra~1 instead of Program Files, as shown in the example scripts below.

Apache Maven is a popular build management tool. FUSE source builds require Apache Maven 2.0.9 or later; you can download Apache Maven from http://maven.apache.org/download.html.

Once you have installed Apache Maven, you must:

  1. Set the M2_HOME environment variable to point to the top-level directory containing your Maven installation.

  2. Add Maven's bin directory to the PATH.

  3. Set the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable to -Xmx512M to give the Maven build more memory in which to run.

Building FUSE source and sample code also requires Apache Ant. The source build requires Apache Ant 1.6.5 or later; you can download it from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi.

After unzipping the Apache Ant distribution, you must:

  1. Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to the top-level directory where you unzipped Apache Ant.

  2. Add Apache Ant's bin directory to your PATH.

You can make all settings for the required programs with a script like the following examples. Adjust the paths in these examples to reflect your actual installed locations of Ant, Maven, and the JDK.
