Note
The Ant build is currently unsupported. Drools is transitioning to Maven 2.0, with SVN source control. With Maven 2.0, the Ant plug in will allow people to run the maven build without installing maven.
1. While Maven is the stadard build tool for Drools and provides lots of additional goals for the management of the project, Ant may also be used for building Drools and executing examples. Ant can be downloaded from Ant.
2. Download Drools via CVS
3. Drools provides a build.xml file to enable the compilation of drools and execution of its examples. The build.xml supports the standard no argument "usage" information. Change to top level and build Drools ant jar-all.
D:\java\workspaces\fixclassloaders\drools>ant
