Building the application

Requirements: Maven 3.9.6 or greater and Java 17.

To build the application you should:

Clone the github repository into a directory.

Run the maven_build.bat script on windows, or maven_build.sh script on unix/linux, these script are found in the root directory of the repo.

Note that you may see some warnings which is ok.

In rare occasions you may need to update the maven repository if the maven build is missing requirements.

The following zip file will be produced under the root directory to where the GitHub repository was cloned.:

regpot_desktop\installation\releng\org.eclipse.efbt.repository\target\org.eclipse.efbt.repository-1.3.0-SNAPSHOT.zip

This zip file is an eclipse repository and can be used to install Eclipse Free BIRD Tools into an Eclipse IDE. We show how to do this in "Installing the Application" in this Wiki.
