Then run +the qpid-server shell script or qpid-server.bat batch file to start +the broker. By default, the broker will use $QPID_HOME/etc to find +the configuration files. You can supply a custom configuration using +the -c argument. + +For example: + +qpid-server -c ~/etc/config.xml + +You can get a list of all command line arguments by using the -h argument. + + +Developing +---------- + +In order to build Qpid you need Ant 1.6.5. Use ant -p to list the +available targets. The default ant target, build, creates a working +development-mode distribution in the build directory. To run the +scripts in build/bin set QPID_HOME to the build directory and put +${QPID_HOME}/bin on your PATH. The scripts in that directory include +the standard ones in the distribution and a number of testing scripts. + + + |
