I recorded a video last night but the audio quality is terrible so I am re-doing it with a better mic today. Meanwhile, if all you want is to build the source, you can accomplish that without too much fuss. You will need some tools installed on your system if you don’t have them already - Maven and Subversion.
maven.apache.org subversion.apache.org If you don’t have those tools installed, get them installed. Next, go to a command prompt, create a folder for James and check out the source code for James at the trunk: mkdir james cd james svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/james/server/trunk/ This will create a folder called trunk inside of the james folder and populate it with the James source code. Next, check your MAVEN_OPTS, which are probably not set: echo $MAVEN_OPTS If you see nothing, check this article to set your MAVEN_OPTS for your platform. 512M/128M are good settings for James. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/OutOfMemoryError Verify your settings. echo $MAVEN_OPTS You should see something like: -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m Next, run the build. mvn clean package -DskipTests=true On my new MacBookPro it takes roughly a minute to do the build. If I leave off the -DskipTests=true directive, it takes my machine roughly 5 1/2 minutes to run the tests and do the build. You will see a lot of console output. At the end of a successful build you should see something like this: [INFO] Reactor Summary: [INFO] [INFO] Apache James :: Server .............................

The war file contains what should be a build for Tomcat/Jetty, etc. I haven’t tried to deploy the war yet, but I am possibly interested in running it that way. Building with Eclipse is a little more complicated, but it also uses the Maven build system in the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers build. Download the Luna build of Eclipse to get it to work. You can see the rest in the video.
