WSO2 invites you to contribute by checking out the source from the Subversion (SVN) source control system, building the product and making changes, and then committing your changes back to the source repository. (For more information on Subversion, see http://svnbook.red-bean.com). The following sections describe this process:

You can download the complete WSO2 Carbon platform, which is recommended if you intend to modify the source. The Carbon project comes in three sub projects: Orbit, Kernel, and Platform. Download and build them in that specific order. You can check out the source code anonymously using the checkout command as shown in the following examples. Replace x.x.x with the version of Carbon you want to build and <local-x-directory>with meaningful names, such as: svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/orbit/tags/4.1.20 wso2carbon-orbit
Orbit:
$ svn checkout https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/orbit/tags/x.x.x <local-orbit-directory>...
- Install Maven and JDK. See Installation Prerequisites for compatible versions.
- Set the environment variable
MAVEN_OPTS=”-Xms768m -Xmx3072m -XX:MaxPermSize=1200m” to avoid the MavenOutOfMemoryError. - Make sure the build server has an active Internet connection to download dependencies while building.
