COMPILATION =========== In order to compile WOT, you need to obtain the source code of Freenet ("fred") and WOT: https://github.com/freenet/fred-staging https://github.com/freenet/plugin-WoT-staging The "staging" repositories are the latest development versions. Replace staging with "official" to get only the latest official release versions. We recommend using Eclipse: The repositories ship with an Eclipse project configuration. To use Eclipse: - Add the EGit plugin to Eclipse so you don't have to use command-line Git. Newer Eclipse versions (4.2 aka Kepler at least) ship with it by default. - When having EGit installed, use "File" / "Import" in Eclipse to import the Git projects. - Rename the "fred-staging" project in Eclipse to "fred" and the "plugin-WoT-staging" project to "WebOfTrust". Renaming can be done by right-clicking a project, selecting "Refactor", then "Rename". - Create a file called "override.properties" in the fred project. Write 'lib.contrib.get = true' into it. This will make the builder download the latest official freenet-ext.jar so you don't have to compile it yourself. - Download the Bouncycastle crypto library from www.bouncycastle.org and store it as "fred/lib/bcprov.jar" If you have a working Freenet installation, you can also just copy it from your Freenet directory. It might be called something similar to "bcprov-jdk15on-149.jar". Now building should work using Eclipse's "Project" menu. We recommend disabling "Build automatically" in the menu because compiling Fred and WOT can take a long time and therefore it's better to do it manually only when you need it. If you don't want to use Eclipse but instead want to compile manually from the shell, it can be done like this: $ git clone https://github.com/freenet/fred-staging.git fred $ cd fred $ echo 'lib.contrib.get = true' >> override.properties # Download the Bouncycastle crypto library from www.bouncycastle.org and put it in lib/bcprov.jar # If you have a working Freenet installation, you can also just copy it from your Freenet directory. # It might be called something similar to "bcprov-jdk15on-149.jar". $ ant $ cd .. $ git clone https://github.com/freenet/plugin-WoT-staging.git WebOfTrust $ cd WebOfTrust $ ant RUNNING ======= Visit the plugins page ("http://127.0.0.1:8888/plugins/ by default) with your Web browser. In the Load Plugin box, enter: /your-eclipse-workspace-path/WebOfTrust/dist/WebOfTrust.jar and click the Load button. After the plugin is loaded, WOT will be accessible at the "Community" menu of your Freenet web interface.
