| Introduction |
This page provides information about how to access Batik's source code. There are four main ways: The first, and prefered method for developers, is through AnonCVS. Anyone can checkout source code from our anonymous CVS server. To do so, simply use the following commands (if you are using a GUI CVS client, configure it appropriately): `cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic login` `password: anoncvs` `cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout xml-batik` The second and probably easiest is by downloading a source distribution. These are the packages that start with 'batik-src'. These correspond to the major releases of Batik. The third is by downloading a nightly build. The '-cvs-' packages contain a complete copy of CVS. The '-src-' packages contain only what is needed to build and run Batik. The biggest difference being that CVS includes the test infrastructure. The fourth is through viewcvs. This provides the ability to traverse the CVS repository over the web, and check differences between versions. This is generally only useful for tracking a small number of files/changes.
