3 - Building

The project is based on Apache Maven (version 3.x), so you’ll have to install it first.

That being said, building the LDAP API is pretty straightforward :

    $ mvn clean install
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256M; support was removed in 8.0
    [INFO] Scanning for projects...
    [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [INFO] Reactor Build Order:

    [INFO] Apache Directory LDAP API I18n

    [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [INFO] Building Apache Directory LDAP API 2.0.0.AM1-SNAPSHOT
    [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ...

It takes around 1 min to build it all (a bit longer the first time, as some dependencies wil have to be pulled from the net).

The top level pom.xml depends on teh special project ‘project’, which is used by all the ApacheDS projects. It gathers information about maven plugin dependenies and someother things. You don’t really need to touch it anyway…

Remember to use Java 8 !!
