JDTF Build Instructions

In order to contribute code to the project you must have a contributor role. See Mobile & Embedded Community Governance for information about the different community roles.

For a description of how the JDTF repository is organized, read JDTF Repository Structure.

The Java Device Framework Getting Started Guide  [PDF] provides important information for developers who want to modify the code.

The JDTF Source Code Description describes how the JDTF source code is organized.

Note: If you are viewing these instructions on the web site, they apply to the release in development on the repository trunk. At the end of every release cycle, these build instructions are archived with the rest of the web site in the www/ directory in the tagged branch of the web site that corresponds to that release. If you are building an earlier version of the software please refer to the instructions archived with the tag that corresponds with that release.
