Building TDS from Source Code
To build the TDS thredds.war file, you need the tds, lib, and
common source code directories. They are available in our source code distribution
(see the "Source Code Distribution" section) and from our SVN
repository (see the "Source Code Repository" section).
Once you have a copy of the tds, lib, and
common source code directories, 'cd' to the tds
directory and run 'ant clean makeWar' (see note).
This will generate a tds/target directory which will contain
a thredds.war file and a war directory.
Note: For TDS 4.2.5 and before, you must have
catalina-ant.jar in your Ant installations lib/ directory. It is not
required after TDS 4.2.5. (See the related FAQ entry here.)
TDS source code distributions are available from the
THREDDS FTP site.
The TDS source code distribution has the following directory structure:
- tds - contains the TDS source code including the Ant build.xml file used
in the build above. [This directory is required to build TDS.]
- lib - contains the binary class libraries used by the TDS (including
netcdf-*.jar and unidataCommon.jar). [This directory is required to build TDS.]
- common - contains source used by the TDS and the GRIB library.
[This directory is required to build TDS.]
- cdm - contains the netCDF-Java/CDM source code
(CDM build documentation [[coming soon]]).
- intelliJ - project files for IntelliJ IDEA 9:
- threddsFull - assumes source code for Unidata Common, OPeNDAP, GRIB,
and more. See below for details
The public THREDDS and CDM/netCDF-Java subversion repository is available at
http://svn.unidata.ucar.edu/repos/thredds/.
TDS 4.2 is currently our development code which is on the
trunk.
Building the TDS thredds.war file as described above, requires checking out
only three directories:
As mentioned above, the intelliJ/threddsFull directory contains IntelliJ IDEA
project files with modules for GRIB, BUFR, OPeNDAP, Unidata Common, CDM/netCDF-Java,
ToolsUI, and TDS. You can modify this for the setup you have by simply removing the
module dependencies and replacing them with binary class jar file dependencies (all
the needed jar file are in the lib directory.
For the full setup, your directory structure should look like this:

writing up
instructions for building the TDS with NetBeans.
