Jaxen's build system is Maven 1.0.2. To compile Jaxen, install Maven. Then at the shell prompt inside the top-level jaxen directory, type "maven java:compile":
$ maven java:compile
You'll likely see some deprecation warnings. Don't worry about these. They're internal to jaxen, and do not indicate bugs.
To run the unit tests, type "maven test":
$ maven test
To build a jar file at the shell prompt type "maven jar":
$ maven jar
This runs the unit tests as well. If any are failing and you still want to
build a jar file, use the -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true
option:
$ maven -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true jar
To generate javadoc, type "maven javadoc":
$ maven javadoc
To generate the complete documentation for the site, including code coverage measurements, static code analysis, and more, type "maven site":
$ maven javadoc
In all three cases the output appears in the target folder.
To remove build artifacts, type "maven clean":
$ maven clean
To prepare jaxen for release:
Note: maven dist:deploy no longer works.
