To build QDox there are two prerequisites:

* Maven 1 (not Maven 2)
This is the build system used instead of Ant. 
http://jakarta.apache.org/maven/
   
* BYacc/J (1.8 or later)
This is the parser generator used to create an effecitive parser for JavaDoc.
If using Windows, Linux, Solaris or OS-X, no additional installation is 
needed as yacc binaries are supplied
in the bootstrap directory. If using any other platform, download BYacc/J from
the site below and update build.properties.
http://byaccj.sourceforge.net/

(You might have to download it via CVS and build it yourself, in which case
we would be grateful to receive a copy of your binary).

Common build goals:

maven test      - Run all unit tests
maven jar       - Create qdox.jar
maven site      - Build the QDox website
maven clean     - Clean up build files
maven parser    - Generate the Java parser only (allowing you to develop in an IDE).
