Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Jim Fox <>]

You don't need any grouper source to build a new subject adapter.  You need 
only the distributed jars.

I still build stuff with ant.  You'll also see build.xml files in the subject 
tree.  You could use that as an example.   The layout of sources in the 
subject tree are also a good example.  

Don't recompile subject.jar.  Just build your new adapter and add the jar to 
grouper's lib.  Then configure it in sources.xml.
I use 

 $ant dist

to make jars.
