how to compile code from svn into jar file?

I found HTMLUnit is useful for me,but the files are too old. So I use svn co https://htmlunit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/htmlunit htmlunit to check the code,But I don't know how to use them.

Is there somebody can tell me how to compile them?

Solution

  • I see you have very little knowledge of Subversion.

    I could link you to lots of verbose documentation, but let's make it quick and easy: what you downloaded is the whole repository, containing lots of redundant code, majorly the three canonical directories branches tags trunk.

    In order to obtain usable code, you either download a stable (tag) version or unstable version (trunk). Advantage of trunk over tag is that it mostly contains new features, but tags are generally stable.

    Try to get the following URL: https://htmlunit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/htmlunit/tags/HtmlUnit-2.8/, then you could try ant to build (I'm no Java expert, does the package have an ant script?)
