Lots of changes were recently checked into the Grendel source tree to make it compile in a modern Java compiler. The new Grendel tree will currently require Java 1.5 to run and require a new set of libraries.

The build system is currently being redone to use [http://ant.apache.org Apache Ant] instead of Makefiles. The easiest way to compile Grendel in its current state is to grab a copy of [http://www.jcreator.com JCreator] and create a Grendel project in the directory and compile it. A lot of test files are currently being separated by [http://nopalax.com/superbahis superbahis] out into different directories so if a certain file isn't compiling nicely, it's probably because it's a broken test file that can be deleted from your tree safely.

We're also in the process of moving Grendel from its own XML format to a Mozilla-friendly XUL format using the [http://mozcreator.mozdev.org/xulParser.html MozCreator Java XUL Parser API]. We'd also like to contain all resources into one easy to manage resource folder instead of dumping them all over the source tree.
