Hi ToNneTje,

"Do you build your Phex from subversion?"

No. Even building Phex from subversion sounds difficult to me.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.

Since you're using GNU/Linux, it really isn't hard

You just need to open a terminal and do the following few steps.

First step: Getting subversion (for downloading the code) and maven (to build phex):

Code:

sudo apt-get install subversion maven2

Second step: Getting the phex code:

Code:

svn co https://phex.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phex/phex/trunk phex

Third step: Building and Running Phex:

Code:

cd phex
./build-and-run

That's it, you can now always run the bleeding edge version of Phex via the following command (in the phex folder):

Code:

svn update ; ./build-and-run

Voilà, your own bleeding edge Phex version

Notice: Even if ubuntu switches to OpenJDK, you should be able to use sun-jdk (I use it on my Gentoo box):

Code:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

The package is in multiverse, though: Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- sun-java6-jdk

I installed and had phex running and no problems I can't reopen it now that I have closed it. And the download files are not where they are supposed to be I cant find them at all
