Building within Eclipse IDE:
- The normal project build method will compile the source
- How to produce an Eclipse plugin:
  - Run->External Tools->Build RPPS Core plugin. This will run Ant build script to produce Eclipse plugin. Resulting plugin's jar along with the build's log file will be placed in "build/plugins" folder. See also: ¹.
- How to produce a standalone jar:
  - Run->External Tools->Build RPPS Core jar. This will run Ant build script to produce standalone jar. Resulting jar file will be placed in "build/lib" folder. See also: ¹.
- How to produce javadoc:
  - Run->External Tools->Build RPPS Core javadoc. This will run Ant build script to produce javadoc. Javadocs will be generated in "build/doc" folder. See also: ¹.

Command-line builds:
- How to produce an Eclipse plugin:
  - From the project directory, run "ant plugin -Declipse.home=<path to eclipse installation>" Resulting plugin's jar along with the build's log file will be placed in "build/plugins" folder.
- How to produce a standalone jar:
  - From the project directory, run "ant". Resulting jar file will be placed in "build/lib" folder. See also: ².
- How to produce javadoc:
  - From the project directory, run "ant javadoc". Javadoc will be generated in "build/doc" folder. See also: ².

Builds notes:
- ¹ Provided Eclipse launch configuration runs ant using the same JRE as the workspace. If you need to change JRE for some reason you will need to provide "-Declipse.home=<path to eclipse installation>" VM argument.
- ² In order to process plugin specific files you will need to add "-Declipse.home=<path to eclipse installation>" option to the command line.
