Building Gitblit
----------------
[Eclipse](http://eclipse.org) is recommended for development as the project settings are preconfigured.

1. Import the gitblit project into your Eclipse workspace.<br/>
*There will be lots of build errors.*
2. Using Ant, execute the `build.xml` script in the project root.<br/>
*This will download all necessary build dependencies and will also generate the Keys class for accessing settings.*
3. Select your gitblit project root and **Refresh** the project, this should correct all build problems.
4. Review the settings in `gitblit.properties` in your project root.<br/>
Make sure you set an appropriate value for *git.repositoriesFolder*. 
5. Execute the *com.gitblit.Launcher* class to start Gitblit.
