Building Java REPL requires the ant build tool.
After cloning the git repository, navigate over to it and run:
$ ant
After this completes, the jar completed with bundled dependencies will be located at build/artifacts/javarepl-dev.build.jar
To run Java REPL you need to install Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 or newer. Download it from here and follow install instructions. Once JDK is installed and configured you can run:
$ java -jar javarepl.jar
If this doesn't work try to run pointing directly to java executable within JDK, like so
$ <PATH_TO_JDK>/bin/java -jar javarepl.jar
If you like JavaREPL you can tip it via Gittip
Donating small amount will help to move the service onto more powerful EC2 machine, which provides faster execution and allows more users.
