Jmxterm project is hosted in sourceforge under project name cyclops-group, and built with Maven2 so there isn't a Makefile or build.xml in source repository.
Check out source
To check out source code from mainline, use following command
svn checkout http://cyclops-group.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cyclops-group/jmxterm/trunk/jmxterm jmxterm
The Maven generated project documents includes a document that explains how to access source code under several different scenarios.
Build from source code
Jmxterm project is built with Maven2 so there isn't a Makefile or build.xml in source repository. To build artifacts from source code, make sure Maven2 is installed on your computer and run following commands:
mvn package
If you are unfamiliar with Maven, Maven is a very powerful tool that builds, releases and generates various of documentation and reports from a central configuration. Try following commands and see what happens:
maven site # Run everything and generate the whole website of http://www.cyclopsgroup.org/projects/jmxterm
maven rpm:rpm # Generate RPM package out of source code
Build RPM from source code
Codehaus Mojos project released a Maven plugin for RPM generation, which is really cool and solves one of the open questions perfectly. With this plugin, RPM package can be easily generated from source code with following command mentioned earlier:
maven rpm:rpm
This feature was added recently so I haven't released RPM artifact in sourceforge download page. In next release of Jmxterm, there will be a downloadable RPM file. Until then, you need to build from source if you want RPM file.
Build DEB from source
Unfortunately I haven't integrated Jmxterm with Mojo DEB Maven plugin yet.
