The feed aggregation toolchain requires the following components:-
- Source code: http://hg.davidherron.com/index.cgi/feed-aggregation-tools
- ROME library: http://rome.dev.java.net
- JDOM library: http://jdom.org
- Groovy: http://groovy.codehaus.org
- ANT: http://ant.apache.org
First retrieve the current ANT distribution and the current Groovy distribution from their respective sites. Make sure your environment is set up approximately like this
export JAVA_HOME=${HOME}/jdk1.6.0_11
export ANT_HOME=${HOME}/apache-ant-1.7.1
export GROOVY_HOME=${HOME}/groovy-1.6-RC-2
export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${ANT_HOME}/bin:${GROOVY_HOME}/bin:${PATH}Then retrieving the feed-aggregation-tools source requires having mercurial set up on your machine.
Then retrieve the other dependencies using code in the build.xml. This may require some changes to the build.xml or else passing properties on the command line, depending on your environment. By default the build.xml installs ROME and JDOM in the feed-aggregation-tools directory.
$ cd feed-aggregation-tools
$ ant setup
Buildfile: build.xml
setup-rome:
[get] Getting: https://rome.dev.java.net/dist/rome-1.0RC2.jar
[get] To: /chroot/home/planethe/feed-aggregation-tools/rome-1.0RC2.jar
setup-jdom:

[get] To: /chroot/home/planethe/feed-aggregation-tools/jdom-1.1.tar.gz
[untar] Expanding: /chroot/home/planethe/feed-aggregation-tools/jdom-1.1.tar.gz into /chroot/home/planethe/feed-aggregation-tools
setup:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 17 seconds
Finally compile:
$ ant compile
Buildfile: build.xml
init-build:
[mkdir] Created dir: /chroot/home/planethe/feed-aggregation-tools/build
compile-classes:
[groovyc] Compiling 5 source files to /chroot/home/planethe/feed-aggregation-tools/build
compile-scripts:
[groovyc] Compiling 13 source files to /chroot/home/planethe/feed-aggregation-tools/build
dojar:
[jar] Building jar: /chroot/home/planethe/feed-aggregation-tools/aggregation.jar
compile:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 4 seconds
When done you have three .jar's which should be used for running the toolchain:
- feed-aggregation-tools/aggregation.jar
- feed-aggregation-tools/rome-1.0RC2.jar
- feed-aggregation-tools/jdom-1.1/build/jdom.jar
