This OpenFlow Controller implementation is based on [Apache AVRO] (https://avro.apache.org/) library

1. Setup a WARP_ROOT environment variable where the project is placed, e.g.:

 $ cd <warp_root_dir>
 $ export WARP_ROOT=`pwd`

2. Build Avro library (One time Step - and when ever Avro library is modified):

$ cd $WARP_ROOT/src/main/java/avro-trunk/lang/java/avro
$ mvn install -DskipTests

3. Build warp.jar and JavaDoc API:

$ cd $WARP_ROOT
$ ant
$ ant javadoc

4. Running the OpenFlow Switch and Warp Controller
