Jun, snell_sandbox is a branch in the svn repository: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/abdera/java/branches/snell_sandbox
You will find what you are looking for there. If you are looking to build from the sources, the easiest is to use the ant build. I myself, when I want to path Abdera, just create a new Ecliipse Java project from an existing source tree. Then add the dependencies folder in the libraries path.

Do not worry about the project type for now: * /java/trunk/build project name: build * /java/trunk/core project name: core * /java/trunk/dependencies project name: dependencies * /java/trunk/docs project name: docs * /java/trunk/examples project name: examples * /java/trunk/parser project name: parser * /java/trunk/server project name: server * /java/trunk/security project name: security * /java/trunk/spring project name: spring * /java/trunk/extensions project name: eclipse From the eclipse workspace root, invoke: ant -f build/build.xml init Then, from the eclipse workspace root, invoke ant -f snell_sandbox/eclipse/setupeclipse.xml This will copy all of the necessary eclipse project files over to the appropriate projects in the eclipse workspace. Restart your eclipse workbench and all of your projects should be ready to go. Note: the security module will contain compile errors due to missing XML Security jars. To build and use that module, you'll need to download the Apache XML Security and the Bouncy Castle Crypto implementation. Problem is there is no "snell_sandbox/eclipse/setupeclipse.xml". "snell" doesn't appear in build/build.xml so it's probably not generated by that first command of "ant -f build/build.xml init". Any pointers? BTW, why is the last project named "eclipse" not "extensions" like the others? Thanks! Jun
