[opencms-dev] Installing build from core

[Andreas Urra]

Hi Birger,

did you use targets when letting ant build opencms from source?

Either have a closer look into the 'build.xml'-file or simply use 'ant all'
(or 'ant -all', cannot remember exactly)

This should produce the .war-file.

Good luck,

Andreas
