These instructions are for OBO-Edit project administrators who need to make official OBO-Edit releases.
The OBO-Edit installers are currently generated by a Java installer builder called install4j, which unfortunately is not free--we are investigating Open Source alternatives. You will also need to install JavaHelp.
Once you've gotten those installed, look at build.xml and make sure the location for "javahelp_indexer" points to your "jhindexer" executable in your installed JavaHelp application. Also check the install4j properties in build.xml and make sure those point to the right places. Finally, make sure org/oboedit/resources/VERSION is up to date and put a brief description of changes since the last release in the CHANGES file in the main OBO-Edit directory.
You should now be able to say "ant installers" and the installers for each platform will be automatically generated in the releases subdirectory.
