Prerequisities to build MR distribution:

  2. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key.

    /cvsroot/mindraider co -P mindraider7
  4. Build MindRaider distribution:
    cd CVS/mindraider7 && mvn install
  5. Find the distribution in the directory:
    CVS/mindraider7/mr7-release/target
  6. Unpack the distribution (in a directory e.g. MR)
  7. Change to directory:
    MR/mindraider-7.1
  8. Run MindRaider:
    java -jar run.jar

To start development in Eclipse:

  1. Create Eclipse project:
    cd CVS/mindraider7/mr7 && mvn eclipse:eclipse
  2. Import the created project to Eclipse and open the mr7 project.

I plan to try building your project using Eclipse. I hope you are making good progress. I looked at the early versions of MindRaider, and it is very interesting. Keep up the great work!

I wish I had the coding skills needed to help, but I am still learning Java/Swing/etc. Delphi is my normal development tool, so I think Java will be easy to learn (they are similar syntax and OOP).
