Appendix C. The source code for the book

 

This appendix covers

  • Installing the book’s source code
  • Software versions required
  • Directory structure conventions

This appendix gives an overview of the book’s source code, where to find it, how to install it, and how to run it. When we were writing this book, we decided to donate all of the book’s source code to the Apache Software Foundation, because we used many Apache frameworks in the making of this book. Therefore, we’ve made our source code available as open source on SourceForge at http://junitbook.sourceforge.net/junit2/.

We’re also committed to maintaining this source code and fixing it if bugs are found, as a standard open source project. In addition, a Manning author forum has been set up for discussing the code at http://www.manning-sandbox.com/forum.jspa?forumID=502.

C.1. Getting the source code

There are two possibilities for getting the source code on your local machine:

C.2. Source code overview

C.3. External libraries

C.4. JAR versions

C.5. Directory structure conventions
