Compiling Glassfish in Eclipse

As I wrote yesterday, I just want to spent a few hours contributing the
code necessary to support MaxDB / SAPDB (which shouldn't be much more
than editing a copy of the Sybase adaptor class).

After spending three hours for downloading the Glassfish source and
trying to convince Eclipse to compile, I gave up now. I don't have time
to find out how to compile the source any longer. I read thousands of
lines of how-tos for using Netbeans (which I don't have installed) and
Maven (which I am not aware how to use) but there is no SIMPLE info on
how to just let ANT or Eclipse run to get it built.

Hey, remember, I just want to contribute one single class...!

So is there a SIMPLE way to configure Eclipse to compile Glassfish
available? Or is there build.xml I haven't found?

I will neither learn how to use Netbeans nor how to administrate Maven
just to contribute a class that is to be written in less than one hour. :-(

So if there is no simple way to compile Glassfish or to contribute my
code in another way, I am sorry, then I have to abstain from
contributing to Glassfish (sad, but true, but my time is scarce).

It must be possible to download the code and type "ant" or press
Eclipse's "build" button if you want to receive SMALL contributions. But
maybe you don't want them, actually?

Thanks
Markus
