A Java SE 5 is required to build EasyBeans. Make sure that the JDK used to build EasyBeans is compliant with the new Java 5 features.

The maven tool is used with pom.xml files to build EasyBeans. This tool is available at http://maven.apache.org. The 2.0.7 or later version is recommanded

Some tests are not yet available as maven tests, then the ant tool is needed to run the tests. The ant tool is available at http://ant.apache.org

The test suite of EasyBeans uses the TestNG tool. This tool is available at http://www.testng.org.

The test suite of EasyBeans uses Clover, which is a code-coverage, analysis tool. Atlassian has granted licenses to open source projects. Refer to http://www.atlassian.com/software/clover/ for more about Clover.
