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

Eclipse

  1. Create the eclipse project files, execute this within red5-server directory.
mvn eclipse:eclipse
  1. Import the project into Eclipse.
  2. Access the right-click menu and select "Configure" and then "Convert to Maven Project".
  3. Now the project will build automatically, if you have the maven plugin installed.
