Setting up and Building a Simple Project

To setup a single-module project:

· Create the project directory
· Go to the root of the project directory, at create a new file called project.xml. It should looks something like:

< GroupId >Byldan< /GroupId >
< ArtifactId >Byldan.Test< /ArtifactId >
< Version >1.1.0.3< /Version >
< Type >library< /Type >
< /Project >

In the Type tag, you can use the following value: library, winexe, exe, netmodule, project

· Add your classes
· Type bd install
· Look under the target directory for the assembly file: it will be named < ArtifactId >.< Extension_Type >

To clean the directories, type "bd clean".
