The projects can be build with either gradle or the gradle wrapper (the latter is recommended).

./gradlew clean build

This should download gradle and start building all the projects. The executables can be found in the build/libs directory of each project.

In general if it is a .jar file it should be executable and can be run with

java -jar [name-of-jar].jar 

If it is a .war file deploy to a server like Apache Tomcat.
