howto install/compile the css-validator

Thanks for these tool.

I've installed/compiled it on a linux OpenSuSE 10.2.
If this can be helpful for someone !
This is not really a question but an tentative to explain/write a
howto install/compile
the css-validator after you downloaded it from cvs

Some information can be found there :
   http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/DOWNLOAD.html
  http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2002/css-validator/

If you're behind a proxy server you can have some problems
with too speed connection requests :

For this i've used cvsgrab <http://cvsgrab.sourceforge.net/> with a
script like this (don't forget to put your address
and port for the proxy you use after the download is done you can do
ctrl+c to stop it)
UNIX/BASH-shell script
#>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
sh ./cvsgrab.sh -url http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2002/css-validator
--proxyHost ip-proxy --proxyPort proxyportnr  2>&1| tee
2002-error.log&
LASTPID=$!
trap 'kill $!;exit' 2
while :
do
        sleep 2
         kill -20 $LASTPID
         kill -18 $LASTPID

done

   - A working java environment,

The one i've used :
java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_update10
java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_update10

   - The Ant <http://ant.apache.org/> java building tool

ant-1.6.5

   - A java Web servlet container such as Jigsaw<http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/>,
   Tomcat <http://tomcat.apache.org/> or Jetty
<http://www.mortbay.org/>if you plan on using the validator as an
online service. This guide only
   covers Tomcat and Jigsaw in details.

I've used tomcat : tomcat5-5.0.30

For the installation of the validator onto your system, you will need to
download and/or find in your system a number of java libraries:

   - servlet.jar (which, if you have Tomcat installed in [TOMCAT_DIR],
   you should find in [TOMCAT_DIR]/common/lib/) possibly under the name
   servlet-api.jar. If not, get it at
java.sun.com<http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html>

The version of tomcat : servlet-api.jar

   - jigsaw.jar <http://jigsaw.w3.org/Devel/classes-2.2/20060329/>

latest version from : http://jigsaw.w3.org/Devel/classes-2.2/

   - xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar (which can be downloaded with
   xerces-j-bin <http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/xerces-j/>).

latest version from http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/xerces-j/


For a proper compilation i have to initiliaze correctly the CLASSPATH
environment variable.
like this with a UNIX/BASH-shell script and put the jar file under jar
directory for example.
jigsaw.jar, xercesImpl.jar, xml-apis.jar
