| or from the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-velocity/nightly/">nightly builds</a>. |

| To make building Velocity easy and consistant, we have provided scripts to build |
| Velocity for both Unix and Windows. We use a Jakarta project called |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/">Ant</a> to perform |
| the build process and provide Ant with the distribution, so no |
| external build utilities are required. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| In each case below, it is assumed that you were successful in getting the distribution from CVS |
| or as a nightly build, and with the latter, were successful in unpacking. Also, it is assumed that |
| you are starting in the 'jakarta-velocity' directory, the root of the distribution tree. All directory |
| references will be relative to 'jakarta-velocity'. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| On Unix, change to the <filename>build</filename> directory (<code>cd build</code>). Then, build the Velocity jar via the build-velocity.sh script : |

| Executing this script will create a <filename>bin</filename> directory within |
| the Velocity distribution directory. The <filename>bin</filename> directory will |
| contain the compiled class files (inside a <filename>classes</filename> |
| directory) as well as a <filename>velocity-XX.jar</filename> file, |
| where XX is the current version number. Be sure to |
| update your classpath to include Velocity's <filename>.jar</filename> file. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Velocity should build 'out of the box', independent of your classpath. |
| If you get an error building Velocity, try a different nightly build (as sometimes |
| we make a mistake and the CVS at the time of the nightly snapshot isn't complete) |
| or refresh from CVS (you might have gotten a CVS snapshot while a developer was |
| checking things in.) |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If the problems persist, do not hesitate to ask the Velocity community via our mail |
| lists. They can be found <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html">here</a>. |
| Please read and understand the the guidelines for participating in any Jakarta mail |
| list. |
