Retrieving the source code

There are two means for getting the source code:

  • Retrieve it as a zipped archive from our download page.
  • Retrieve it through CVS from the java.net server. Please note that in this case you will need to register to java.net in order to get a login.

Building UISpec4J

The simplest way to build UISpec4J is to use the Maven build system. Once Maven is installed on your system and available in your path, open a shell window, go to UISpec4J's top directory (the one where you will find the pom.xml file), and then enter the following command: 

            mvn test
Maven will then retrieve the needed JARs from its repository, build the tool, and run the unit tests of the library. You are now ready to add tests and make changes to the source code.

Configuring your IDE

If you use IntelliJ/IDEA or Eclipse, you can generate the corresponding project files using: 

            mvn idea:idea
or 
            mvn eclipse:eclipse
