| Apache Commons JEXL uses Maven 3 as the build tool, and requires Java 8 (or above). |
| |
| The following Maven goals are useful: |
| |
| * mvn - Runs all checks. |
| * mvn clean - Deletes all files from the target folder. |
| * mvn test - Compiles and run the unit tests. |
| * mvn site - Creates the web site and documentation. |
| * mvn package - Builds the jar. |
| * mvn install - Builds the jar and installs it in the local Maven repository. |
| |
| Note that the Maven build process uses JavaCC to generate some sources. |
| These are created under target/generated sources and automatically compiled. |
| The generated class files are needed to compile some of the ordinary Java source files. |
| This can cause problems for some IDEs, which will need to be configured accordingly. |
