How to Build Shade

Dependencies

By default Shade has all of its dependencies included with it. There is one gotcha. Namely, one jar needs a native library specified. If you want to run Shade from Eclipse please follow the Eclipse Instructions. Alternatively, there is an ant build file included which you can use to compile and run Shade hassle free.

Git

Obviously you need to have git installed. Some people have been having trouble with this step so I’ve documented my steps here. Git Instructions

Shade

The easiest way to get up and running is to use the included ant build file. To do that simply type the following commands:

ant run

Simple right? If you would prefer to run Shade from Eclipse then simply follow the Eclipse Instructions for a detailed walk through. Finally, I want to encourage developers to check out Slick’s source code for reference during development. Instructions for how to do so are under the Slick Instructions.

Assuming that you’ve got Shade up and running then you’re all finished. Why not go to the development roadmap and read the list of work items. Feel free to jump in and fix a bug or add a new feature!

FAQuestions
