Working with the Java Reference Implementation Source Code

The Java reference implementation is the most active project currently under way in the JXTA Community, and many other projects build on its capabilities. Because most of the Java-based projects have a common build system, this section shows you how to obtain the latest version of the reference implementation and build it.

Obtaining Java Reference Implementation Source Code

As previously mentioned, Project JXTA provides hosted projects with a source-control system to use to manage the project’s source code. The source-control system used by Project JXTA is the Concurrent Versions System (CVS), which allows multiple developers to work on the same code simultaneously and merge their work.
