h1. How to build the latest ESME from Subversion

h3. Prerequisites

* XCode (recommended) - install from at [http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html] (requires Apple Developer Network subscription, which will cost you an email address)
* Maven - with XCode it is command "mvn"
* Subversion - comes with Mac OS X 10.6

h3. Checkout latest ESME, build, and run

Run the following commands, starting in the directory where you want to download ESME:

# svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/esme/trunk esme
# cd esme/server/
# mvn jetty:run

The third step can take a while the first time it is run as it needs to download all of ESME's dependencies (and there are quite a few of those).

After this you should be able to open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/ and see ESME running!

h3. Optionally running under a separate Tomcat installation

# Install Tomcat
** Download latest Tomcat 6 Core .zip file from [http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi]
# In esme/server directory run "mvn package"
# Copy .war file in esme/server/target directory into the webapps/ directory of your Tomcat installation
# Start Tomcat (bin/startup.sh in the main Tomcat directory)
# Navigate your browser to http://localhost:8080/esme_server_SNAPSHOT_3.0
