You don't need root access to download beet.  Release packages can be obtained from SourceForge on the project downloads page.

There are two separate packages available for download:  beet and beet-utils. Beet is required to enable behavior tracking in your Spring applications; beet-utils contains command-line utilities for manipulating data generated by beet. 

Both packages come in Java 5 and Java 6 flavors; you only need the version appropriate to your production environment.  The only difference between these packages is in the included dependencies; the core library is exactly the same.  See the dependency matrix in the User Guide for details on how the various dependency libraries are used.  SDK versions prior to 5 are not supported.

Maven Support

We plan to contribute the final 1.4.0 release to the Maven central repository.  Prior to that, we've set up a temporary Maven repository with POM and Jar files for beet.  Please note:  these builds will no longer be available if/when the final release is accepted into the central repository.

The module descriptor supports both Java 5 and Java 6.  For Java 5, include both optional and runtime scopes in your dependency configuration.  For Java 6, only include runtime scope.
