Re: How can we get pre-release build of Jython?

Dear Ivan,
Jython is conveniently built using ant:

ant installer

or

ant jar-standalone

should do the trick to get the installer or standalone jar respectively.
So there are no further requirements than JDK 7 or 8 (9?) and ant.

While it is said to be possible to configure an IDE to get the build
done I found it very complicated and never really got it right
(e.g. for eclipse). So I'd recommend to simply stick to plain ant
command line.


Best,

Stefan
