Introduction

------------

Lightstone is an open-source implementation of the

[Minecraft](http://minecraft.net) server software written in Java.

The official server software has some shortcomings such as the use of threaded,

synchronous I/O along with high CPU and RAM usage. Lightstone aims to be a

lightweight and high-performance alternative.

Building

--------

Lightstone can be built with the

[Java Development Kit](http://oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads) and

[Apache Ant](http://ant.apache.org). [Apache Ivy](http://ant.apache.org/ivy) is

also used for dependency management.

If you have not yet done so, you will need to download the project's

dependencies which can be done with the `ant resolve` command. This only needs

to be done once initially and when the dependencies are updated.

Typing the command `ant` in the terminal will build the project.

Running

-------

Although not recommended, the server can be started via Ant. This is useful

for certain IDEs e.g. NetBeans which require an Ant target to run the project.

Typing the command `ant run` in the terminal will do this. It will also build

the project if the binaries are out of date.

Testing

-------

The unit tests can be executed using the `ant test` command in the terminal.

Documentation

-------------

Javadocs can be generated by using the `ant doc` command in the terminal.
