Build MyFaces Core from source code using Maven

• JDK 1.6
• Maven '''2.2.1 (or later)''' (http://maven.apache.org/download.html), with the bin directory in your path. Make sure to set JAVA_HOME as an environment variable.
• Subversion client for your build environment (http://subversion.tigris.org/)
