If you are already using many Jodd jars, you can simply just use the bundle jar. It's a single jar with all modules included :)

Jodd is built with Gradle on JDK6, targeting Java 1.5. You don't have to install anything, the only prerequisites are Git and Java JDK.

Simply clone Jodd Git repo:

git clone https://github.com/oblac/jodd.git jodd

You can build the project with:

gradlew build

This will build all jars and run all unit tests. To skip the tests (for faster build), execute:

gradlew build -x test

To generate full release, including running integration tests and generating various reports:

gradlew release

For integration tests you will need also to set up databases named: 'jodd-test' on local MySql (access: root/root!) and PostgreSQL (postgres/root!).

gradlew install

Feel free to contribute! Follow these steps:

First time only:

• fork the Jodd repo (upstream) to your GitHub account (origin).
• clone origin as your local repo

Every other time:

• update both origin and local repos from upstream
• create new branch for a feature or bug fix
• commit often :)
• once when work is done, push local changes to your origin
• send us a pull request (PR)

We will pickup up from there :)
