COMPILING.md

Compiling on Windows

Requirements

• JDK 21 (LTS) or newer
• Apache Ant
• Apache Ivy
• WiX Toolset

Compiling

Run the default Windows build:

build.bat

This resolves dependencies and builds the fatjar.

Or build manually (no Microsoft Store required):

1. ant -lib ivy.jar clean resolve fatjar
2. Build MSI with jpackage --type msi from the generated fatjar

Notes:

• The release workflow uses jpackage for Windows MSI builds.
• The generated MSI can be installed and run by standard Windows users without Microsoft Store.
