Here's an email John Olsen sent to the awips2dev infolist on 28-aug-2007.  It 
describes how to build CAVE and EDEX.  The starting point is that you have 
them installed in accordance with the installation instructions included in 
the Raytheon TO6 directory.  It's also a good idea to read through the
Raytheon install documents first.


***
The following instructions are from John Olsen with pseudo-xml tag inserts
from Stowe Davison.  Change the directories to suit your environment.  I 
followed these instructions and had no problems.  Once you install the
newly created CAVE files, you will need to create a "basemaps" directory under
your cave directory and copy the basemaps files to it.  Or, you can set up
a soft link to the basemaps files which will be kept in a central location.

I put the source for both cave and edex under awips/src:

jho@monza:src$ pwd
/home/jho/awips2/ade/to6/awips/src
jho@monza:src$ ll
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 54 jho jho 4096 2007-07-27 13:04 cave/
drwxr-xr-x 10 jho jho 4096 2007-07-27 12:52 edex/

then did the following:

o  first, compile edex through at least jibx.  This sets up cave's build
for a compilation of edex's "client" target (edex's "client" target
exists for cave, not edex).

cd /home/jho/awips2/ade/to6/awips/src/edex/build
ant clean
ant build
ant jibx

For complete EDEX build add:
ant deploy
ant uEngineWeb

o  in  ~/awips2/ade/to6/awips/src/cave/build/build.properties, make the
following assignments

adeSource=/home/jho/awips2/ade/to6/awips/src
product=${adeSource}/cave/com.raytheon.viz/viz.product
buildDirectory=${adeSource}/cave/build/tmp
base=${adeSource}/cave/build
baseLocation=${base}/eclipse

o  in ~/awips2/ade/to6/awips/src/cave/com.raytheon.edex/pre-build.xml,
modify the following targets

<property name="adeSource" value="${user.home}/awips2/ade/to6/awips/src"/>

   <target name="prebuild-compile">
       <available file="${adeSource}/edex/build"
                  property="edex.location"
                  value="${adeSource}/edex/build/"/>
   <target name="prebuild" depends="prebuild-compile">
       <available file="${adeSource}/edex"
                  property="edex.location"
                  value="${adeSource}/edex/build/"/>

o  invoke build.sh
cd ~/awips2/ade/to6/awips/src/cave/build
sh build.sh

o  you'll see 234 fairly harmless looking warnings (deprecated calls,
unused packages, etc)

o  find newly-compiled cave zipped up in
~/awips2/ade/to6/awips/src/cave/build/tmp/I.CAVE

You have to unzip the cave zip file into the cave run directory.
