Building JET Framework on Ubuntu

This is how to build JET Framework on Ubuntu 9.04 if you want the source code in ~/devel/jet~framework/, and some additional downloads in ~/download/:

  $ sudo apt-get install maven2 mercurial

(A lot is installed)

 $ mkdir ~/devel
 $ mkdir ~/download

(Download JMX Remote API 1.0.1_04 Reference Implementation and JMX 1.2.1 Reference Implementation from http://java.sun.com/products/JavaManagement/download.html to ~/download)

 $ cd ~/download
 $ unzip jmx-1_2_1-ri.zip
 $ unzip jmxremote-1_0_1-ri-bin-b58.zip
 $ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun.jdmk -DartifactId=jmxtools -Dversion=1.2.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=./jmx-1_2_1-bin/lib/jmxtools.jar
 $ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.management -DartifactId=jmxremote -Dversion=1.0.1_04 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=./jmxremote-1_0_1-bin/lib/jmxremote.jar
 $ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.management -DartifactId=jmxremote_optional -Dversion=1.0.1_04 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=./jmxremote-1_0_1-bin/lib/jmxremote_optional.jar
 $ cd ~/devel
 $ hg clone https://kenai.com/hg/jet~framework
 $ cd ~/devel/jet~framework
 $ mvn install site

Maven will now download a lot and build and generate documentation. If you think Maven is slow (it can take up to 10 minutes the first time, but should only take around 10 seconds on later builds) - think about setting up Nexus.
