To build the red5 jars, execute the following on the command line:

mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install

This will create the jars in the "target" directory of the workspace; this will also skip the unit tests.

To package everything up in an assembly (tarball/zip):

mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package -P assemble

To build a milestone tarball:

mvn -Dmilestone.version=1.0.7-M1 clean package -Pmilestone

1. Create the eclipse project files, execute this within red5-server directory.

mvn eclipse:eclipse

2. Import the project into Eclipse.
3. Access the right-click menu and select "Configure" and then "Convert to Maven Project".
4. Now the project will build automatically, if you have the maven plugin installed.
