To build JODConverter you need Maven 2.
Check out the source code from the Subversion repository hosted by SourceForge.net:
$ svn co https://jodconverter.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jodconverter/trunk/jodconverter jodconverter
Or to check out a particular version:
$ svn co https://jodconverter.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jodconverter/tags/2.1.1/jodconverter jodconverter
For the tests to pass, start OpenOffice.org as a service listening both on a socket and on a named pipe:
$ /opt/openoffice.org2.1/program/soffice -accept="socket,port=8100;urp;" -headless & $ /opt/openoffice.org2.1/program/soffice -accept="pipe,name=jodconverter;urp;" $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/openoffice.org2.1/program
The last line is required for the named pipe connection to work since it needs to load a native library installed with OpenOffice.org.
Now you can build and install the package in your local Maven repository:
$ cd jodconverter $ mvn install
The webapp is available as a separate module; it can be checked out and built with
$ svn co https://jodconverter.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jodconverter/trunk/jodconverter-webapp jodconverter-webapp $ cd jodconverter-webapp $ mvn package
