Build

How to build

• have ANT and GIT installed
• edit the build.properties and configure the EXIST_HOME location. The directory must contain a compiled instance of eXist-db.

  # clone from github
  git clone git@github.com:eXist-db/messaging-replication.git
  
  # download ivy dependency manager
  ant setup
  
  # download dependancies, build jar
  # create two xar files
  ant

The extension can be installed in two different ways (use one only!):

• upload the generated XAR files into eXist-db using the 'Package Manager'
• install all required jar using Ant:

  # install all jars into EXIST_HOME
  ant install

Note: for the replication feature only the second route can be used.
