Compiling

Bukkit uses Maven 3 to build and package from source to jar.

Maven 3

Installing Maven

Download Maven 3 at: http://maven.apache.org/download.html

To get (a probably old) Maven do the following:

• Ubuntu

    sudo apt-get install maven2

• Arch Linux (note: Maven will be installed under /opt/maven/bin/mvn)

    sudo pacman -S maven

• Mac OSX Using Brew

    brew install maven

Using Maven

Go to the root of your local repository (where pom.xml is located) and execute the following:

    mvn clean install

Maven will compile, create and locally install the jar file. If this executed successfully, target/bukkit-*-SNAPSHOT.jar has been created.

To clean your directory use:

    mvn clean

Please note that we compile against Java 1.5, if you find yourself in need of Java 1.6 methods, please take a look at: org.bukkit.util.Java15Compat
