<p>
Commons BeanUtils can be built using
<a href="http://maven.apache.org">Maven 3</a>
(Recommended: Maven 3.3)
and JDK 6 / OpenJDK 6 or later (recommended: JDK 8).
</p>
<p>
Further details can be found in the

<section name="Maven 3 Goals">
<p>
Build using
<a href="http://maven.apache.org">Maven 3</a>
is the preferred build method.
The compiled BeanUtils JAR should work with Java 6 or later.
</p>
<p>
To build
<code>target/commons-beanutils-*.jar</code>
</p>
<pre>
mvn clean package
</pre>
<p>
or to install into your
<code>~/.m2/repository</code>
</p>
<pre>
mvn clean install
</pre>
<p>
You can skip the unit tests by adding the parameter
<code>-DskipTests=true</code>
</p>
<p>
To regenerate the web site
(corresponding to
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-beanutils/)
</p>
<pre>
mvn clean site
</pre>
<p>
Note: the Apache Commons BeanUtils site should include a
<a href="japicmp.html">japicmp report</a>
for the
purpose of checking API version compatibility; to enable this, use Java 7
or later and run instead:
</p>
<pre>
mvn clean package site -Pjapicmp
</pre>
