ServiceMix uses Maven as its build and management tool. We have tested the build with Maven 2.0.8 and it works fine, but Maven 2.0.9 is known to cause some issues that prevent a successful build for ServiceMix 3.2.1 and previous versions.

Note that you may need to build the whole ServiceMix project once using maven.
