can't set jdee-server in emacs

Question

In jdee-server's github, It says

Copy target/jdee-bundle-${version}.jar to a directory and customize jdee-server-dir to point to the dir.

But I can't understand it. What is target/jdee-bundle-${version}.jar ? I install jdee using emacs melpa , it doesn't have such file.

In the current pom.xml maven file in the github repository, you can see that the jdee-server version number is:

<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

According to the README file in the repository, this means the resulting jar file will be named target/jdee-bundle-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar . But when you build jdee-server following its README instructions, you'll get two jar files:

target/jdee-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
target/jdee-bundle-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Copy both files to a directory of your choosing, then in your emacs startup file set jdee-server-dir to the name of that directory. For example, if the directory you choose is /home/ttong/jdee-server , set jdee-server-dir like this:

(setq jdee-server-dir "/home/ttong/jdee-server")
