Building the Framework

To build the framework:

Install a copy of Apache Ant (http://ant.apache.org/) and ensure that the Ant 'bin' folder is on your system path.
Open a command prompt to your root MobileViewer folder - the one that contains build.xml - and run the following command:
```
ant compress
```
This will combine and compress the framework files, and generate a folder called 'build' in your root MobileViewer folder.
Copy and paste the contents of this folder into your web deployment, as required. Another option is to allow the build process to deploy the files for you:
First ensure that the web.home property in build.xml points to the www folder in your Map Server web tier deployment. If it doesn't, edit and save the file. Then run the command:
```
ant deploy
		
```
This will combine and compress the files to the build folder and then deploy them to the web tier. Yet another option is:
```
ant deploymin
```
This deploys only the combined/compressed files. This supports a fully-functioning deployment, but does not allow for debugging of the individual files, so it's useful once your application is complete.
```
ant clean
		
```
can be run to clean up the build folder.
```
ant deployandcleanup
```
will deploy compressed and individual files to the web tier and clean up the build folder in one step. This is very useful when developing and debugging the application, since it precludes the possibility of making edits to a file in the build folder instead of the main folder by accident. This is also the default build target, so if you run 'ant' with no parameters, this will be the effect.
