4.1. Download and Installation
You can download the zip source file from http://labs.jboss.com/jbossas/downloads/.
Uncompress jboss-4.2.2.GA-src.tar.gz
to extract the archive contents into the location of your choice. You can do this using the JDK jar
tool (or any other compatible extraction tool). In this example we are assuming your source files were copied in the /jboss
folder.
[user@localhost]$ cd /jboss [user@localhost]$ jar -xvf jboss-4.2.2.GA-src.tar.gz
You should now have a directory called jboss-4.2.2.GA-src
. The next step is to build your source files. In this example we are using Apache ANT. This is discussed in the following section.
