Building MyFaces in your IDE

Preparations

First, you will need to checkout the sourcecode from Subversion. It's easy to do this; just install "Tortoise SVN" (or any other SVN client) on your system, and instruct the client to check out all sources from: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/current.

You do not need to use https if you do not want to commit anything to the sourcebase, if you might want to do a commit at some point, it is recommended to use https as a protocol right away.
