The package build process contains several steps:
If a rules file is included in the package source directory, the configure and build targets will be executed.
The first step is to locate all the packages that are required in order to build this package. For every dependency specified in package-in.xml the build system will locate a matching package on the local system. Each of these packages will then be added to the classpath that will be used to compile the java files.
Any files that are to be included in the package (ie *.so files) should be copied to the directory named by the environment variable BUILD.
If the package source directory contains a directory named resources, it will be included in the package. All CVS directories will be automatically ignored.
At this point, an intermediate XOE package is created. It includes all the files that will be in the final package, but the package description is incomplete.
