I would like to follow stand-alone guide[1].

I don't understand well what it means with the first instructions: "you
need to have a full distribution. Check out to build the source code and
make sure you include the build for the distribution module".

This is what I'm doing:

---
1) "you need to have a full distribution. Check out ..."

I cloned it:

```
git clone http://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/mina-ftpserver.git
```
<http://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/mina-ftpserver.git>

2) "... to build the source code"

I'm not sure how to build it. I suppose it is `mvn something` I can't
recall how to do this stuff.
Is this maybe a missing instruction here?

3) "... and make sure you include the build for the distribution module ..."

No clue either. But I did notice there is a `distribution` folder that kind
of make sense with the next instructions.
---

It tells me to run `bin/ftpd.sh`. I can find it in `distribution/bin`, and
when I try to run it it tells me:

```
Error: Could not find or load main class
org.apache.ftpserver.main.CommandLine
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.ftpserver.main.CommandLine
```
I suppose because I haven't built anything. So, what should I actually do?

Thanks!
