This page describes how to build QWT from sources. If you are looking on how to create a QWT application, please refer to this section.

• Java 5. Use java -version to verify.
• Maven 2.0.6 or higher. Use mvn -version to verify. Please check the Java version issued by Maven and adjust JAVA_HOME if it is not Java 5.
• Subversion 1.3 or higher. Use svn –version to verify.
• Python 2.4 or higher (required by qooxdoo’s tool chain). Use python -V to verify.

QWT supports a normal Maven multi-module build. The only thing special is that Maven needs extra heap space to build:

svn co https://qooxdoo-contrib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qooxdoo-contrib/trunk/qooxdoo-contrib/QWT/trunk qwt
cd qwt
export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx128m  # or more
mvn clean install

The build may need up to 15 minutes on a typical machine.

To create a QWT distribution run

cd qwt
mvn clean install -Ddist

To get an Eclipse file for QWT:

• cd qwt/toolkit
• mvn eclipse:eclipse
• Create an M2_REPO variable pointing to your $HOME/.m2/repository directory
• Create a working set QWT
• Inside this working set, create a project for every module.
