HELP PLEASE Limewire

Im a student trying to figure out how to compile Limewire. So far, I did find out how to compile through DOS but is there any way I can simply use a java editor program like visual cafe to compile the darn thing? I have a class project in which my group and I have to add metadata searching so it would really be nice if we can compile the program directly from an editor. Please help, thanks alot

If you don't get a reply here, you can try the LW mailing list:

All you need is Sun's jdk and apache's ant. Search for it with google, install it and start the install scripts in the LimeWire source.
