Build from Source

As of release 1.2.2 the target JDK is now JDK 11 and the Maven poms use the toolchain plugin.

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
