| ################## GENERAL BUILDING NOTES ############ |

| ###################################################### |
| |
| The primary build tool for James server is maven 3 (3.0.2 is required). |
| |
| On a new source checkout from https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/ start by running |
| $ mvn package |
| |
| This will compile all modules and build the distribution. |
| The distribution binary and source build can be found under "container/spring/target" |
| and should contain everything you need to start with. |
| |
| For just building without running junit tests: |
| $ mvn package -DskipTests=true |
| |
| Some tests have been disabled by default (*TestLive.java) because they |
| are not reliable enough for continuous integration testing. To run the |
| full set of tests, do: |
| $ mvn install -Plivetests |
| |
