| JM | 24 | Building Gitblit |
| 25 | ---------------- | |
| 26 | [Eclipse](http://eclipse.org) is recommended for development as the project settings are preconfigured. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | 1. Import the gitblit project into your Eclipse workspace.<br/> | |
| 29 | *There will be lots of build errors.* | |
| 30 | 2. Using Ant, execute the `build.xml` script in the project root.<br/> | |
| 31 | *This will download all necessary build dependencies and will also generate the Keys class for accessing settings.* | |
| 32 | 3. Select your gitblit project root and **Refresh** the project, this should correct all build problems. | |
| 1f9dae | 33 | 4. Using JUnit, execute the `com.gitblit.tests.GitBlitSuite` test suite.<br/> |
| JM | 34 | *This will clone some repositories from the web and run through the unit tests.* |
| 35 | 5. Execute the *com.gitblit.Launcher* class to start Gitblit. | |
