OpenForecast is a package of general purpose, forecasting models written in Java that can be applied to any data series. One of the design goals is to make it easy for a developer to use in an application even if they do not understand, or care to understand, the differences between the different forecasting models available.

Requirements

To build OpenForecast, you will need the following tools:

• a Java compiler (works with J2SDK 1.3 and above)
• Ant 1.5 or later (earlier versions may work too)

Building OpenForecast

Using ant, the available targets are as follows:

compile Compiles core library source files test Compile and run the tests examples Compiles example source files docs Generates javadocs dist Builds files for distribution clean Removes all temporary and build files usage Displays this usage information

Note that with version OpenForecast 0.4.0, the default is to make the targets: compile, test. That is, to compile all source files, then build and run all the test cases.
