Building Apache CXF source with the NetBeans IDE

The NetBeans IDE has native Maven support. This means that nothing needs to be setup to get things to work (i.e., downloading Maven plugins is not necessary).

Here are the steps to build Apache CXF source with NetBeans:

• Start NetBeans 7.0

• Wiki Markup
  Open the Apache CXF project ( File->Open Project->\[Find and Select Parent CXF POM\] ). Click on the Open Project button.

• Select Tools->Options->Miscellaneous Icon->Maven Tab. In the "Global Execution Options:" edit box, add desired options (if any). (e.g. -Peverything, -Pfastinstall or -Peverything,fastinstall). Click on the OK button.
• Right click "Apache CXF" and select "Clean and Build".
