How to compile?

[Sphinxrave]

Hey Technics,

I'm a java programmer/student/modder, and I wanted to play around with the technic launcher/spoutcraft launcher. I got eclipse, Mauve (or whatever that is for working with the pom.xml) and also eGit and all the GitHub connectivity stuff, managed to clone down the repository/branches/- (pardon my jargon-newbness)

But i can't figure out how to compile it.

(yes, I'm a noob in Eclipse. Or Java in general.)

Can someone run me through with ... or run through me... (both sound wrong and dangerous) the compilation method?

Thanks a ton

Once you've got Maven setup with the project and have it in eclipse.. you can right click the rom.xml and choose Run As > install

that will produce the jar file.

Let me know if you have any other issues

any idea? (Win 7 64bit Java 64 bit)

Edit: fixed with this.

That's kind of obvious... read what it says. You need JFK 1.4+ and not JRE which the it points to above.
