If you just started with Trails, it's easiest to use Maven and follow the Quick Start guide. As Trails is intended for implementing applications on top of it, using Maven to develop your application will make your life easier.

If for one reason or another, you hate Maven and absolutely refuse to use it, you can download the desired Trails release from the main Maven repository at repo1.maven.org. Since 1.1, Trails was modularized to several separate libraries, so it makes even more sense to use Maven than manually download each jar.

We are not currently publishing snapshots automatically. There are snapshots available in source form and published periodically to Codehaus' snapshot repository.

To use the snapshot repository, you need to add it to your project pom:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>Codehaus Snapshots</id>
    <url>http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/</url>
    <snapshots>
      <enabled>true</enabled>
    </snapshots>
    <releases>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </releases>
  </repository>
</repositories>
