Paul Kukiel -
and what i'm interested in.

You may or may not have seen yet but Sean Corfield has blogged the process of building Railo from source ( here ).

Now I doubt I'll ever want to change anything the Railo team do in the source. I did however want to compile my own version just to see if I could. ( It's been a little while since I used java )

Sean's instructions are really thorough and I had no issues I even tried this on the just released Galileo version of Eclipse.

Sean does say to use Java 5 but I have Java 6 sdk already so I tried with that but it didn't work so make sure you have JDK 1.5 ( I used 1.5.19 ).

To make sure I had actually compiled and it was working I added the change to my railo server that's hosting the examples on this blog I changed the version to 3.1.0.199 and the version name to "Paul -99".

The whole process took about 10-15 minutes.


BTW I did this in Windows 7 64 bit.
