Building Vert.x

Prerequisites

• Maven 3.2.x
• JDK 1.8+

Regular build

mvn clean install

To run tests

mvn test
    

To run a specific test

mvn test -Dtest=<test_name/pattern>        

Coverage build

To collect code coverage data, you need to launch the build with:

mvn clean org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:prepare-agent package -Pcoverage

Imports in IDE

To import the sources in your IDE, just import the project as a Maven project. However, check that:

• src/main/generated is marked as a source directory
• target/generated-test-sources/test-annotations is marked as a test source directory

This second directory is generated during the test-compile phase:

mvn test-compile

To build a distro

See the Vert.x stack project: https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-stack and more specifically the stack-manager.
