Build Instructions

  • Main Tasks:

    • clean: deletes all the build dirs
    • jar: creates all the jars in PROJECT/build/libs
    • binImage: creates an image in the ./build subdir that includes jars, scripts, and other resources required to run the S4 server and sample applications.
    • binTgz: same in a gzipped tar file in ./build/distributions.
    • allImage: creates an image in the ./build subdir that includes what is in binImage plus sources, javadoc, and other documents.
    • allTgz: same in a gzipped tar file in ./build/distributions.
    • install: installs jars and POMs in local Maven repo (eg. ~/.m2)
