Download the source code from http://jakarta.apache.org/site/sourceindex.cgi.
Following the same procedure as outlined in Recipe 1.1, you can download a file named
commons-lang-2.0-src.zip
(or
commons-lang-2.0-src.tar.gz
). Once you unzip
this file, you will have the source to Commons Lang in
./commons-lang-2.0-src
.
The
commons-lang-2.0-src
directory will contain
the following:
-
build.xml
An Apache Ant build file, which you can use to compile the source. If Ant is installed, you can compile or test by running
ant compile
orant test
.-
src/java
This subdirectory contains the source for the classes in Commons Lang.
-
src/test
This subdirectory contains unit tests for the Commons Lang project. Each
*Test.java
file is an extension of JUnitTestCase
class.
For more information about Apache Ant, see the Ant project page at http://ant.apache.org. Also see Chapter 3 in the Java Extreme Programming Cookbook by Eric M. Burke and Brian M. Coyner (O’Reilly).
The unit tests in this source distribution use the JUnit testing framework. For more information about JUnit, see the JUnit project page at http://www.junit.org. Also see Chapter 4 in the Java Extreme Programming Cookbook by Burke and Coyner.
