Commons Logging uses Maven 2.0.x as its primary build system. Ant can also be used.

To build the full website, run "mvn site". The result will be in "target/site". You must be online and using JDK 1.4 or higher to successfully complete this target.

To build the jar files, run "mvn package". The result will be in the "target" folder. You must use JDK 1.4 or higher to successfully complete this target.

Further details can be found in the commons build instructions.

The complete release distribution is created by the dist target. Note that both a 1.2 JRE and a 1.4 JRE are needed to create the release distribution as well as all optional dependencies. See build.properties.sample for more details.
