   Windows Source Installation Windows Source Installation

   Build ServiceMix using Maven 1.0.2 or greater and Java 5.

   Code Block
   The recommended method of building ServiceMix is the following: cd [servicemix_install_dir] where [servicemix_install_dir] is the directory in which ServiceMix was installed. maven If the above build fails on some tests, type the following: cd [servicemix_install_dir] maven install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

   Info
   title ServiceMix on Java 1.4
   Some modules can be built on Java 1.4. To compile, run the following command maven -Dservicemix.jdk14=true install

7. Start ServiceMix from the target directory, for example:

   Code Block
   cd [servicemix_install_dir]\servicemix-assembly\target\servicemix-3.0-SNAPSHOT\bin\servicemix-3.0-SNAPSHOT bin\servicemix

   Note: working directories get created relative to the current directory. For the working directories to be created in the proper place, ServiceMix must be launched from its home/installation directory.
8. Proceed to the #Testing the Installation section.

Warning: If you are building Servicemix 3.x under Windows using Cygwin there is a path name length limitation which causes a lot of build errors. To fix this, move the source directory higher in the file system tree, e.g., /cygdrive/c/d/sm.
