Building GALE

GALE requires Java and Maven to compile from source. They can be obtained using the links on the right. The steps to compile GALE are:

• Copy the source from the CD to your computer.
• Go to the 'master' directory inside the source directory on your computer using a command prompt.
• Execute the command 'mvn package'. If Maven or Java can't be found, you may have to configure them manually by setting environment variables. See the Java and/or Maven documentation.
• You can find the compiled .war file in the 'gale/target' directory of the source. After the .war is extracted by Tomcat the main GALE configuration file is tomcat/webapps/gale/WEB-INF/galeconfig.xml. There is a galeconfig-hsqldb.xml file that configures GALE to use HSQLDB instead of the default MySQL.

More information can be found on the GALE download page and the GALE online documentation.
