Unidata IDV Workshop for version 6.0  > Java Developer Topics  >  Development Environment  
5.0.4  Building with Ant
Now you should be able to build the IDV from scratch.
  -  Change to the 
ucar directory.
      cd  idv
   
  -  Execute the ant command to build
      
clean idv.
      ant  clean idv
    This removes all Java class files (there will be none
    the first time), re-builds them.
   
  
-  To run the IDV using your build use:
          java  -Xmx1024m  ucar.unidata.idv.DefaultIdv
  
 
  -  For the purposes of this workshop, we've created an alias so you
  can just type:
          
idvdev
   
  -  List out the CLASSPATH we have set up for you:
          
set | grep CLASSPATH
