To compile the Expeditee source code, make sure you a version of the
Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.

--
At the time of writing, this needs to be JDK 1.8 with JavaFX.  We
recommend the Azul Zulu distribution for this.  To make things a bit
more straightforward to get going with the Expeditee code base, you
will find helper scripts (for Linux and Windows) for getting and
installing the necessary JDK in:

    dev/packages

Then run the relevant script:

    ./GET-JDK-FX-LINUX64.sh
or
    ./GET-JDK-FX-WINDOWS64.sh


For other OSes, download the relevant .tar.gz via:


    https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-8-lts&package=jdk-fx#zulu

--

--
If using the script-downloaded JDK, to compile and run Expeditee,
first run:

    source ./expedite-devel.bash

Otherwise set up your command-line environment:


    # Put java and javac on your PATH
    export JAVA_HOME=<Path to top-level JDK directory>
    export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"

To compile and run:

    # Compile up the code
    ant build

    # Then run it
    ant run
