First, you will need to fetch the Myrmidon source from CVS.  The source
can be source in the <code>proposal/myrmidon</code> directory of the
Ant source tree.  You should check out the <code>jakarta-ant</code> CVS
module, as described
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html">here</a>.
</p>
                                <p>
To build Myrmidon, use the <code>build.xml</code> build script.  You will need
to use Ant 1.4.1 or later.  The default target builds the Myrmidon distribution
into the <code>dist</code> directory.  The distribution is a ready-to-run
installation of Myrmidon.
</p>
                                <p>There are a number features that are not built unless the appropriate optional Jar
files are found in the <code>lib</code> directory:</p>

The Myrmidon distribution includes an executable Jar file, which can be used
to run Myrmidon.  Use the following command:

                                <pre>
prompt&gt; <i>java</i> -jar <i>ant-home</i>/bin/myrmidon-launcher.jar <i>options</i>

  </table>
                                <p>When started, Myrmidon looks for a project file called <code>build.ant</code>
in the current directory.  A different project file can be specified using the
<code>-f</code> command-line option.  Myrmidon executes the targets given on
the command-line, or the default target if none is given.  For example, the
following executes the targets <code>clean</code> and <code>build</code> from
the project file <code>my-project.xml</code>:</p>
                                <pre>
prompt&gt; ant -f my-project.xml clean build
</pre>
                                <p>
Run Myrmidon with the <code>-h</code> command-line option for a list of
the command-line options that are available.
