You can read more about how to build Infinispan in the documentation:
http://infinispan.org/docs/dev/contributing/contributing.html
Provided you already have the correct versions of Java and Maven installed, you can get started right away. For convenience you can use the provided maven-settings.xml file which enables all additional repositories required for building Infinispan:
mvn -s maven-settings.xml clean install
or use the provided build.sh or build.bat depending on your platform of choice.
- distribution Builds the full distribution
- java8-test Runs the testsuite using a Java 8 installation (the JAVA8_HOME environment variable must point to it)
- server.test.provisioning Set this to dist to copy artifacts to the server used in the testsuite (uses more disk space but avoids runtime resolution of artifacts)
