The steps were: mkdir microcontainer cd microcontainer svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/build svn co https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk/tools ant Which would then internally 1) Spot your environment doesn't exist and download the rest (either from svn or the repository), including creating ide files on the fly 2) Refork itself and do the main build Sadly, I didn't have time to finish it, but that part did work.
