Quick build
If you only like to compile all classes and package up TomEE without running tests then you can use the following build options
mvn -Pquick -Dsurefire.useFile=false -DdisableXmlReport=true -DuniqueVersion=false -ff -Dassemble -DskipTests -DfailIfNoTests=false clean install
Full build
This will run all the tests. We have thousands of tests and you should go out to grab a bite in the meantime.
mvn clean install
If you intend building in environments where multicast is not allowed then build with:
mvn clean install -DskipMulticastTests=true
Full build that execute arquillian test on all TomEE distributions:
mvn clean install -Pall-adapters
Partial build
This will only build a module and the modules using it as a dependency.
To build just TomEE distribution execute:
mvn clean install -pl tomee/apache-tomee -am -Dmaven.test.skip=true
TomEE zip/tar.gz will be in tomee/apache-tomee/target
To build TomEE Embedded to be able to develop with its maven plugin execute:
mvn clean install -pl maven/tomee-embedded-maven-plugin -am -Dmaven.test.skip=true
