Thanks for all your replies. I cloned the repository and I get this error when I try to compile. https://james.apache.org/server/3/dev-build.html
In the JAMES_SRC_HOME top level directory (where the parent pom.xml resides), invoke maven with 'mvn' with any of the following command line arguments: - clean - deletes the target directory, making the system ready for a clean build. - compile - compiles the source code. - test - run unit tests for James. - *package - generates all the James distributions, packed. From the root directory, cd to 'server/container/spring/target' to have the build distribution. Notice, for the latest trunk(revision 1430655+), a specific profile argument need to be set: '-Pwith-assembly'. The location of final distributions is also changed to 'JAMES_SRC_HOME/server/app/target'.* - javadocs:javadocs - builds the James javadocs. - site - builds the entirety of the James website.
