[Building Sakai] sakai stable version and where do we get please suggest.

[Steve Swinsburg]

The version you build against varies depending on your local needs. If  
you already have a Sakai instance, build against a version that  
matches that so that you know the app will work. If not, build against  
trunk or at least 2.6.x

Check out section 16 onwards on this page:
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BOOT/Development+Environment+Setup+Walkthrough

That will get you setup with your source code in eclipse and  
classpaths setup nicely.

I've found that when importing, best to use File > Import > General >  
Maven Projects

There is info about attaching debuggers in the Programmers Cafe  
section, ie BOOT in Confluence.

cheers,
Steve
