<h2>Portability</h2>
This database is written in Java and therefore works on many platforms.
It is also possible to compile it to a native executable using GCJ.
<br /><a name="environment"></a>
<h2>Environment</h2>
To build the database executables, the following software stack was used.
In most cases, newer version or compatible software works too, but this was not tested.
<ul>
<li>Windows XP
</li><li>Sun JDK Version 1.4
</li><li>Apache Ant Version 1.6.5
</li><li>Mozilla Firefox 1.5
</li><li>Eclipse Version 3.2.1
</li><li>YourKit Java Profiler
</li></ul>

<h2>Building the Software</h2>
On the command line, go to the directory src and execute the following command:
<pre>
ant -projecthelp
</pre>
You will get a list of targets. If you want to build the jar files, execute:
<pre>
ant jar
</pre>
To create a jar file with the JDBC API and the classes required to connect to a server only,
use the target jarClient:
<pre>
ant jarClient
</pre>
The other targets may be used as well.

<h2>Using Maven 2</h2>
<h3>Using a Central Repository</h3>
You can include the database in your Maven 2 project as a dependency.
The version is currently 1.0.<year><month><day>. Example:
<pre>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
<version>1.0.20070304</version>
</dependency>
</pre>
<h3>Using Snapshot Version</h3>
To build a 'snapshot' H2 .jar file and upload it the to the local Maven 2 repository, execute the following command:
<pre>
ant mavenUploadLocal
</pre>
Afterwards, you can include the database in your Maven 2 project as a dependency:
<pre>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
<artifactId>h2</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</pre>
