[opencms-dev] Compiling the OpenCms core

[Florian Hopf]

Hi,
the documentation for the build seems to be a little outdated. It took
me a while to figure it out.

Use ant bindist

> B/trying ant only yield to many errors thrown like complainig about

> /opencms/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/)

In fact it's ant itself that needs this lib in its ext directory. Go to
src-components and read ant-opencms-config.txt to see which jars have to
be copied there (IMO the file is really misplaced there)

Kind regards
Florian
